What is most imporant is the point of this. I really do it for the love of art. and I want to save people for paying to toxic people
see your contradictions? you told me to talk to your employeer so that is what I am trying to do right now. You took also models from gta and made your maps out of them, that is profiting while here nobody did. and then you say I am the one stealing? no sir, you are very mistaken already
Perhaps you are starving to death and you do anything for a dollar, but if you had some common sense you should have taken the comission? perhaps, but ASK ME first, or talk to your "employeer" about this idea, not just me, you also took abstraction and as you did it with these maps you will do it in future maps
Even if you took the skybox only, the skybox is copyrighted by GMT. And do not lie, because I also saw pictures of my map being edited for "bug fixing" which I never asked for.
All this could have been avoided if there was a request first, but seems the money blinds you.
MY point is this, even if it is personal always talk to the original authors first, we were going to say yes anyways under some terms. Even if it is our errors and bugs those will become OUR errors to fix, not yours.
I wanted to politely talk but I realize the type of person you are, because this? speaks a lot about your inner-self
Also, do not play the "ignorant russian" you are not ignorant, you are very smart, you know how to use modeling tools, porting tools, mapping tools, those are english required. do not cover yourself under the "translation"
of course you will be washing your mouth of how great you are and how sh*t others we are. you can keep bragging how talented and bad optimized other maps are and buggy etc .... but many knew today how you really are
I am upset, upset a professional mapper behaves like a toddler. Your replies to me in your profile... didnt imagine you can go this low, while you comment in other addons you prohibit your stuff to be edited... now you claim you can freely edit other stuff that isnt yours "because it is public domain"??... and also you have the "dignity" to say it is poorly done? ..... damn
But in any case, take someone else work without his authorization, especially if the creator is still active, is NOT a good thing to do. Even for a fix, or whatever. And making profit on someone's back is a real bad thing, no matter the context.
And about the "thief" thing, Fox is using Source Engine assets. Valve clearly agreed that anyone can do it. But what about GTA V assets? Does anyone from Rockstar Games clearly gave his agreements to use their assets for free? And also, using their assets to make profits on Patreon?
This situation is not about being a "terrible mapper", or whatever. It's about the lack of a simple communication between two adults instead of doing a commission in the back of the main creator of a project.
Contact the customer and ask him for a percentage of sfm porn videos that he will shoot on this map 🤣
I could have blocked you right away, but I didn't. Most likely this is how the community steam system works, when you reject a friend request, I have noticed more than once that after that about a day you cannot send a second question, perhaps a block is imposed.
Also, I did not claim that you steal models from csgo, I meant that there are no models of your production on this map, on the contrary there are a bunch of my models from gta v and me3.
You have a huge number of useless displacement objects on your map (under water), which contribute to low performance, most of them can be painlessly turned into one big brush and nothing will change in terms of appearance.
Also, I have no idea why it was necessary to divide the water into a bunch of separate brushes, you only reduce performance, the compilers themselves will divide everything as needed.
About objects disappearing right in front of my eyes, I generally keep quiet, This does not help performance in any way, Physical models that load the processor should mainly be hidden.
But static models should hide at a very long distance. There are LODS for the rest of the tasks!
We all seen what you wanted to writte. You literally said I am the thief. And took it as another excuse to keep making fun.
Of course you will keep working on it, again this is not about how bad my map is and I dont care about it because for me it is a success already.
BTW: I suspected you would remove more messages so I took this

I don't take map commissions any longer because too many server owners (read: most of them) and too many hired content creators (read: most of them) are willing to throw aside basic ethics and IP laws for the sake of profits.
In my case, I have one simple rule about messing with my crap: just ask me first. It's a simple request, and the minimum of effort shows me who is a decent human being, and who is a garbage human being.
If someone offers you money for something you don't have permission to use/edit, and you don't turn them down - or at least turn down the money - you aren't just lacking in ethics, you're an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.
The most you can do is sadly file a DMCA or a report on their accounts, and hopefully have action taken against them. A lot of these services like Patreon will very quickly take action, and in most cases terminate or suspend the offending accounts.
From my experience being in the same boat as FFox, your best option is to go to their Patreon or wherever else the money is exchanged, and submit a report/DMCA claim.
Do it in well-written, tone-neutral, and - most importantly - respectful and calm writing. Detail exactly what is stolen, with as much proof as you can possibly shoehorn in. Leave out personal attacks or bias-style writing, as they undermine your position.
If you make it clear without a doubt that the person making a profit off your work is doing so illegally, they're likely to get removed from the service(s) and you might even see a kickback in the best of situations.
Patreon has a support email, here.[support.patreon.com] You should be able to use this to file a takedown notice on his Patreon. They have another page here with more information[support.patreon.com].
And I won't talk about the "employer" who should simply see his rights to use the Workshop and Source SDK overall removed, engaging people to do the dirty and illegal job? Just to slap your name on it at the end? GTFO
Modders locking content behind a paywall, or charging for services related to the Source Engine should be careful.
Valve is pretty cool with that and don't really mind about people making a couple of bucks with some Source Engine but guys beware, read the ToS / EULA and you will notice that what you're doing is wrong. The day Valve (or some other third party companies) decide to kick in and and distribute sanctions, some people out there will see their rights to use SteamWorks tools and services removed.
I know a couple of people who had a couple of DMCA strikes and can't publish on the Workshop anymore despise their mod being available for free. So now imagine for "paid mods".
As for mappers, I recommend you to use heavy obfuscator(s) alongside other anti-decompile protections.
