Information regarding this mod.
We've been getting some input, some slander and some clueless responses to this mod regarding if its just a copycat-mod or if it has been stolen, duplicated etc so I might just clear this up once and for all.

Eternal is not in any way either ACA or Redemeption, it's a complete new mod that is loosely based on Redemption. It is also based on a few other core mods, and it also have our own twist to it. We are also listening very closely to what the community wants(therefore, its important that you leave your ideas and feedback), all together working towards our goal of making this a unique overhaul mod, which one could argue, it already is.

Yes, some structures, items and dinos is quite similar to the dinos in Redemption, but it's not a ripoff or stolen. To make a long story short, Tbjbu2, the main developer of Redemption, gave me the sourcefiles from Redemption to make it into something better. Problem was that he gave me the all-good signal to start working on it, and then went MIA for 5 days. When he returned he could not accept any new changes to this mod unless he was consulted with before, making 5 days of constant work(we're talking about 18 hours per day here) unusable. No developer could ever work under those conditions, so we had a talk, we tried to be reasonable. It did'nt work out. Our agreement was that I would be Teamleader and he would step back, which he now refused. I still offerened him to be an equal to the development of this mod, which he would'nt hear. That led to that he was booted from this project.

Me personally, do not have any hard feelings towards either Tbjbu2 or Redemption. I have even offered him to fix the broken state he left Redemption in so it's playable. Redemption is a great mod, and if fixed, I would even go so far saying that it's the best overhaul mod for ARK at the moment.

Back to Eternal. This is a collaboration between me, Leutiankane and
kotawolf.
We are listening to the community, and all of us have our own background, experiences and specialties. Together, our ideas and knowledge combined could very well make Eternal the 'best' overhaul mod for ARK.

All we ask for is a chance, give your feedback, leave your ideas, report the bugs you encounter. Help us help you enduser. But please do not just come in here and start drama, slander someone or beeing a jerk. Try the mod for yourself, then leave your feedback.

Also, if you have the possibility, join our discord aswell, thats where we are most active and you can actually be a vital part of the development of this mod. https://discord.gg/mPFx8ky

Feel free to discuss this in this thread, but understand that talking about these things in the commentsection will most likely be ignored, or even deleted if inappropriate.

I'd also would like to thank everyone involved, Kane, Penny, KnoT, our testers, you, the enduser, everyone that in any way have contributed to make this mod a come alive(no phun intended). I'd also like to thank everyone involved in the making of Redemption as alot of your work has gone uncredited. From a helping developer to the smallest contributor, thank you!

/ prome and the development team of Eternal.

what I'm curious about is how you would say this mod differs from ACA, like what significant changes are there?

I say this as someone who has never actually played ACA lol

"loosely based on redemption"
literally everything reeks of ACA lol.

What did you actually bring thats completely new and different and in no way inspired by ACA?

Even the ACA bugs are present in this mod.
Stop/Follow/All Stop/Follow doesnt even work without punching the air just like in ACA.
Spirit Bronto/Mega/Giga etc, Poison/Speed/Strength dinos (green,blue,red) ugh this mod is 95% ACA "inspired".

Millions of Poison snakes and Green/blue/red spinos in Swamps etc, just like in ACA.

Let me guess, are there Dodowyvern egg nests too?

And Alpha Mosasaurs that are superridiculouslystrong?

ACA creator says you're using his files.

TBJ also said he wasnt doing this anymore but when this became popular he got bent out of shape

Big boss please read the important message and realize who wrote it. Prome was a developer of ACA and he has simply continued and revamped tbj's work since the went awall and abandoned it. Sigh... If you truly want unique unique then go ahead and make a skeleton, mesh, animation and 3D model programs to make your own mod. These developers are using the tools provided to them by Wild Card to make it as unique as possible without starting from scratch and making their own dinos and items. They are doing a damn good job and made it more unique then any mod out there. You could also say ACA stole a lot of their ideas from annunaki because of the poison or fire classes. You really need to look at the facts man. Wish you the best but all the details are there if you look for it. The modders don't need the drama if you can't research.

I think annunaki is the doom of ark mods, and stuff like ACA, ark eternal, extinction core, etc. is the FPS genre

or annunaki is the rogue of ark mods, and the rest are the roguelikes

Wouldnt you if someone just copied 90% of your hard work and called it their own lol [/quote]


No i wouldnt if i quit working on it and asked someone to take over. alot of people seem to forget that in discord he just gave up and said he was done with redemption these guys took up where he stopped and made it something unlike the failure of redemption. had he not worried about extinction coming out he would have had time to make redemption good but alas he rushed and bam disaster. Tbj is a great modder and i believe if he takes his time it will be better in the future especially with the wild card devs paying for finished mods.

This is not ACA this isnt Annunaki this isnt redemption nor is it extinction this is what these modders decided to go with and so far it looks great so dont bash it maybe try it and maybe be more informed by joining the discords
