Paul Ricard - Le Castellet 2021
Imo you are not stupid but they are for telling you.
Yes, credit where credit is due. Sharing, improving, discovering things is what it should be all about. Personally I don't think people put the same amount of pride and detail in to F1 skins as I do, however every now and again I find something in someone else's work that I think... damn, that's good, why didn't I think to do that? I agree that sometimes the best work comes from people that can work together. Look at Portimao for example between myself and @marc_13000 we ended up with an amazing best version ever. Both bringing different things and ideas to work together. Same will be hopefully for a final accurate Paul Ricard in a few weeks.
The entire point of modding was to improve on the base game not to steal assetts not to take work from others without asking. Assetto corsa devs kunos gave us great tools to work with on our own. If you see a mod you really like and you think you can make better, open blender start modelling get gimp start texturing (lots of free tutorials for both of these plus open source). Take inspiration from the original modder by making a new mod from scract and not stealing their encrypted one its very rude, think of it like a test if i take a test and someone copys but makes minor changes without my permission thats plagiarism not improving this is basic highschool stuff.
Probably also depends where original modder got assets from. If it has Kunos, GT sport, Forza etc. parts/3d model, isn't this also some sort of plagiarism? And so we come to the modders like a3dr etc., who afaik make non-encrypted scratch-made mods, and ofcourse a bunch of other "original" modders that encrypt their creations.
that is completely fair to say but at the end of the day its down to the mod creator to decide if they dont want to encrypt cool thats their choice they feel comfy letting you guys use their mods. Coming at people who make encryped mods because they want to protect the work they spent time making is not okay, if your given a free encrypted mod thats good deal and done whine. I hate to say it but the repost i see of non encrypted mods are almost always sub par.Probably also depends where original modder got assets from.

this, I said it months ago.
Have you ever learn modding from other modders non-encrypted mods? Did you use stolen (converted) 3D models from other games instead of scratch making them? Have you ever found a mod that you like but lacking a few things that you can add / modify yourself so it is not going straight to the bin? Answering this three simple questions should enable you to decide whether you are going to follow the non or encrypting mod way. The Jedi or the Dark Side way
Is there any tutorial on how to decrypt a mod?
Thank you
After looking at the pics (not talking about the skin you made Blacky
Much better quality tracks available without the authors demanding money for it.
Oooh. And just wait until the CSP 'mod worskshop' thing is added. Then everything will start becoming 'pay for play'. Mark my words.
