would it be a bannable offence to post an waffen ss themed mod?
First off, i made a total conversion mod, which changes everything (ranks backround ect) to a waffen ss theme. i am wondering, could posting it to workshop get me banned or steam account closed, and if so, could the steam subscriber agreement thing be updated to list types of mods not permitted on workshop? my logic for wanting to upload is, it is not politicly correct, you dont like it dont use it, and a mass murder game called hatred is already on steam. still, i just want to be sure it is ok,and if not, is it possible for steam to amend the subscriber agreement to clarify what is appropriate and what is not. not uploading screenshots just in case. if this thread causes racist or hateful comments, ill pull it, or let mods pull it. i am trying to tread carefully here.

I'm fairly sure you won't get punished in any way by Steam for uploading an SS themed mod. I've seen skins of SS officers on the MoWAS2 workshop and never hear anyone complaining about them.

Unless your mod contains scenes/actions that would be deamed inapropriate I don't think anyone would mind. I assume you have no intention to idolize the SS with this mod and it's merely a reskin of the game.

Your best bet would be throwing up a drop box link and calling it user generated content.

However given that there are maps that are Indiana Jones theme'd (kill the nazis) seems it's ok to have German Millitary types in Steam workshop...

i would probably have to clean it up a bit, such as removing stuff that could be considered hateful. its not idolizing the evil pigs at all, its just a mod i made in my spare time. i hate the SS. they did evil things, and we must always remember what happened over 70 years ago. It needs to never happen again Also, i will think on what you two said. i just...i dont want to go too far with the mod. im going to change a few things, then possibly upload. or if people want a link, they can add me on steam, and ill send them a link to it. i dont know. it does not contain scenes or actions, but does use the word culling a few times. i might change it a little, to say tangos.

thanks for the advice guys. i apreciate the prompt replies

But, if you hate the SS, why work on a mod that portrays them? I'm not against it, just curious?

well, i made it more as a test of scripting and codeing, and as a thing to piss off my brother (like i always say, if i aint annoying him, i aint doing my job as a twin XD). further, i thought, what could i acomplish in the program called GIMP, using stock images from the web? (free image edit software. highly reccomended). so, it was just test of skill thing. kinda like the gear mods i made so far, i banged them out real quick, just to test skills. my brother is great with this coding thing, my mother is great with image editing and art, and he is agaist nazis, so why not try and learn, impress, and annoy at same time? (yes its mean to annoy him, but its a brotherly love-hate thing).

also, for the record, you guys made a very great game. congratz on a job well done!

also, sorry for typos, i was up all night, ironicly, finishing the thing. to be honest, i m probably gonna scrap it. it looks like it went from a simple ranks and insigna thing to going to far to annoy my brother. i hate to admit it, but the thing now looks kinda extreme. i wanted total conversion and ranks, not ss propaganda (for lack of a better term). if you want screenshots of the thing, i can send them your way. im impressed with what i acomplished using coding and free software on the web (none of it pirated), but i hate how it turned out.

i am now proud to call myself a "script kiddie", despite what people consider the term. its a step up from knowing nothing about this thing.

It must be really interesting living with your family. :) Have you tried hooking up your brother with some DK goodness? Someone with coding skills can make pretty incredible things in this game.

Also you can add new 3d models as sprites in the game fairly easy using Blender (free software) but it is a bit time consuming. If you can make your own models all the better but you can also find a ton of free textured models or models ripped from other games which you can easily import into Blender, rigg and animate them (much easier than it sounds), record the animation in frames and make the animations images for the game. That is a couple of days worth of learning from tutorial videos but it would allow you to take Total Conversions to a whole new level. I made this topic a while ago and if you ever want to know more about how it's done we can talk more there.

i really apreciate the info. ill look into it. i might use it next time i make a total conversion. i am still deciding whether to scrap the current ss thing. also, my brother does not like these types of games. more just racing and fps. for a pair of twins born a mere two minutes apart, we are quite diffrent :rfacepalm: funny quick off topic story: when we were born, my mom says he was kicking me from the womb to the hospital bed where she lay, and even in the car home a few weeks later. and sadly he still does. but still, kicked before even being born! so, yeah, definately brothers....

Thanks! The mod expanded quite a lot since then but it will take a bit more time until it's ready for the big reveal. Luckly I just finished with the exams a week ago and now I have a lot of free time to work on the mod.

A healthy amount of competition between siblings is always a good thing. Knowing that there's always somebody just next door ready to put you to shame is a good insentive to always better yourself.
