No problem. Please let me know if there is a problem.

sooo... is this mod problematic or not? I jus wanna use my p90....

These are really cool mods but.... Holy Sh1t.

I'm just a dirty end user and my opinion is worth exactly less than sewage blocks but DMCA abuse is not good. Cheers and good luck.

I say this as someone who is pretty indifferent about GiC, and can wholly acknowledge that Med might be the terrible person you describe him as. It would not surprise me in the least. What most of the community has seen, however, is that your actions were totally out of line and your inability to reign in your words has done infinitely more damage than your accusations.

Lastly, my apologies to Girzu and his mod for being the area where this gets dropped and curse steam for their 1000 character limit. Neutral ground at least means it has a lower chance of getting scrubbed out to pretend there's no dissenting opinions.

I will also back up some of the things Girzu has said here in that it's a shame some of the old content is gone and it will be missed. Honestly, you should have just released a sidegrade expansion like escalate if you wanted to stick to GiC, and let Med burn his own bridges with his own actions if he tried to sabotage it. Hell, you could have just renamed it to something else and made a different mod and done it better if you think your version was superior.

People would have been a lot more receptive to a split in GiC (or whatever had happened) if you didn't make all the worst choices, and now you're backpedaling to do damage control for your image. Moving forward, try being honest and and stop trying to attack everything that doesn't conform to your desired narrative and maybe you'll earn some trust back with your actions.

Instead you continue to do one thing while saying another, over and over. Even in this paragraph you say you've dropped legal action and want to develop your own branch in peace but you just can't help but smear Med while you're at it, can you?

Not to mention " "I don't want to cause a split in the community" while effectively holding peoples save files hostage unless they subscribed to your version of the mod for a little over two weeks or whatever it was.

All the while your "team" doesn't want any acknowledgement for their efforts? Is it because they fear backlash from the GiC community or because they would have to openly show that they're associated with you and all the things you've said and done over this whole debacle?

Fuckin yikes, my guy. I don't usually comment on steam but I feel like this one time I need to make an exception.

"I didn't take anything away" doesn't really hold up with "-after having successfully struck down the previous iteration of the mod" as well as "As I have documentation that stipulates proof of ownership over the IP." Are we just pretending the whole DMCA thing didn't happen?

"I am no longer pursuing legal action" screams "We couldn't actually win so we're backing down to save face." This is likely why you've now pivoted to "preserving the work you did" instead of that whole manifesto about yanking it from Med which thankfully has been deleted from the comments. Sounds a lot better to the mildly informed than openly admitting your own actions and mistakes, right?

I didn't take anything away.
The other version of GiC (not my 2.8 branch) is still available.

I am no longer pursuing legal action.
Med is the one who is still threatening to do so.

He is the one claiming that his version is the only legitimate one.
People get us (Med and Mawd) confused very often.
And it has always been like this back when I used to act and speak on his behalf as a development team member.

I thank you for your neutrality and I don't expect you to support me on this issue.
You already espouse that I am not some simple out-of-the-blue fraud that Med wants to claim that I am.

And that is enough for me.
My team of old and new developers just want to develop our branch in peace.

We are not concerned with popularity like Med is, since he needs to exploit that popularity to make a profit.

Unless they are using the code directly, without significant modification, it’s not easy to remove something through a DMCA.
Had you released a ‘different version’ of GIC with the sprites and questlines you worked on, without a DMCA attack, it would have been welcomed.

But taking things away from people’s hands through a DMCA and claiming that your version is the only legitimate one was probably not the best approach.

Perhaps saying that I liked the old version of GIC might be considered a betrayal by the current developers, but I wanted to say it.

I’m someone who was drawn to the old GIC because of the old art style and the Tarkov-like elements.

Personally, I was hoping you would upload the old version of the sprites, just like I released my own reskin patch. It would simply be another option, allowing people to choose for themselves.

Who was right or wrong doesn’t really interest people that much. It’s not their problem.
But if those conflicts prevent people from enjoying the content, people will get angry.

Yes. Using a DMCA to attack with copyright was the worst decision you could have made.
Up until then, it was a 'personal' conflict between developers, but now, because of that conflict, people can no longer enjoy the content they love.

And as you might have felt, the DMCA is both highly effective and extremely tricky.

If there is indeed a copyright violation, the DMCA will ensure that the content is taken down, but it’s very difficult to get that ruling that copyright has truly been infringed.
Even 'Dark and Darker', which was widely deemed to have plagiarized most of the code, survived the DMCA.

@Pop-Top Atlas
Whether it's real or fake, it doesn't really matter much to me.
What's important is that there are always people who enjoy whatever version it is.

To be honest, I liked the old version of GIC better.
Yes, I’m talking about the that time, like in Tarkov, when you had to think carefully about picking up items or ammunition from the streets.
I also really liked the old questline and preferred the older style gun sprite. So, It was shame when the original questline and old-style gun images disappeared.

However, I respected the change. The original copyright holder didn’t want it to be used, and the developer respected that by removing the content.
Of course, I have extracted and kept the old version separately. Personally owning it doesn't harm anyone.

The disputes between the developers? It didn’t matter much to me.
I can’t speak English well, and I didn’t even understand half of the conflicts that occurred on Discord.

It isn't fake.

And Girzu should already know that.

We run version 2.8 and are making a branch off of that version because it contains all our work that Med tried to destroy when he needed to push the fake narrative that he alone created GiC so that people wouldn't worry about only giving him money when he begs for you to look at his Patreon, Ko-Fi, etc.

I'm distributing an older version of the mod because I worked on it in the past.
That makes me a co-author no matter how much Med lied to all of you in order to cannibalize the people who supported him in the past just to feed his ego.

Learn the facts. Stop spreading his lies.

don't subscribe to the gic version from pop-top-atlas btw, it's a fake

its back!

galaxy of conflict i mean

why is it gone

o shit gic is gone from steam

Hi! Sorry about it has been a long time :p, now I am here to inform you that the localization patch has been released: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3310085722

@Mk Ⅳ: GIRZU Thanks,once I finished I'll inform you :D

@plantera
Yes, of course.

Hi, recently I have been working on localization for GIC expansion in the community, and your MOD is also in my plan. I would like to ask if you allow me to localize your MOD?

I feel like I could've mentioned this alongside the NTW being a crew serve weapon, but the Lynx has a threaded barrel, so it can be suppressed... main issue would be finding a good suppressor for .50 BMG though.

Ps. i love this mod alot girzu! the converted attachment are awesome!

and to craft it you basically convert the Gic base version into the Black ops version

Could you also add a Variant of the MK23 in the base mod with Removed LAM unit like how you did with the Attachments how they had their own Black ops version so many the MK23 can have its own Black ops girzu version as well? that would be awesome!

@Fwren
Sounds cool, so I add it.

Actually you should make a M26 MASS as a underbarrel attachment would be amazing to use with SOPMOD Block I john connor style

Yeah but it has a unremovable Laser aiming module maybe a civilian MARK 23 version that HK sells or the Real USSOCOM version would be cool since the tylian's version has a phase II slide like solid snakes not the one USSOCOM uses

@Fwren
As far as I know, MK23 already exists in GIC. check Tylian's shop

A civilian version of the HK MK23 would be awesome!

Just want to say: my primary motivation for beating GiC content at this point is to collect materials to craft these weapons. Love the sounds, performance, and spritework. Very well done!

A Mateba 2006M Would be cool! no one has really done a 2006M the cylinder on it FLIPS ON TOP and it has a barrel just like the rhino and unica would be a really cool addition to this mod

it's ok. Sometimes Starbound doesn't accept updates from the workshop mod. The solution is to unsubscribe and then subscribe it again. I'm glad it's resolved.

I resubbed and while old attachments still don't work new ones do. For some reasone Starbound just decided to not accept the mod update i guess?
Sorry for bothering you.

All of attachment are not work? Or few of them are not work?

few days ago, After hearing about the patch, I applied the adding new tag to black ops weapons and attachments in advance. If there is no problem, it should be operated normally.

Therefore, in theory, the newly created attachment should be applicable to both the old and the present methods.

The changelog for GiC was:

Mass-Unification of Attachments:
gic_barrel - Slot for the barrel attachment.
gic_sight - Slot for sight attachments.
gic_foregrip - Slot for typical underbarrel or foregrip attachments.

Basically they removed all sight/barrel subtypes from attachments and guns, which i think causes vanilla attchaments to not work on the BO weapons and vice versa, since they now lack the needed type?

@MadLight
That's because, sometimes existing attachments is not affected after patches be happen. Then, you have to discard the existing attachment and get a new one. if new gun still not accept new attachment, then it is real bug, if so, can you tell me the details?

After attachments update in GiC, vannila attachments no longer work on these weapons, and the mod's attachments don't work on vanilla guns.

also i can't reload the ump

thank you

@z@rk3rth3g@m3r
Could be found in GIC ammo bench(ammo bench was can be found in lush planet, bendit's base).

and other guns?

where do i find ammo for the fn?

@cyberwolf
Vidwansak is reloaded with 12.7mm (50. Cal) ammo. Those ammo easily can be found on warton planets. if you using ammo box mod, then you can purchase the 12.7mm ammo box at an Undercolony Hacker store

cant find ammo for Vidwansak
