Even some years later I keep receiving messages about permission to use my Skyrim mods.
I learned how to use Cinema 4D, how to make textures and how to bring my models/textures into the game and soon after I released a few shields I found them on many other websites without my knowledge, without my original ReadMe and without any mention or credits. Therefore I decided to stop. Because there isn't really any way to fight this. But I would never remove any mods because of that and the least I can do to help other mod creators is to allow them to use my mods in any way they want.
In other words... You are free to use any of my work in your mods, it'd be nice to get credited if you do, but whatever, as long as your work benefits our community i'm happy.
"You are free to use any of my work in your mods". Thank you. It is a shame you are not making any more mods. I just looked at your shield texture and it is great despite being from the "oldrim" days when low res was normal. It is impressive for one who is "autodidact" (self taught). 1.5k endorsements is no trifle.
Perhaps one of us, maybe even me, could merge your mods together and release for SE. Level list integration would be a nice bonus, and possibly the diffuse maps could be AI upscaled to 4k.
FYI, this mod was uploaded to Bethesda.net for Xbox One (https://mods.bethesda.net/#en/workshop/skyrim/mod-detail/3060465) by pubwanderer (https://community.bethesda.net/people/pubwanderer). He has uploaded several mods without permission and has locked the comments section on each.
Good thing I already had downloaded it before it got taken down. I don't understand why it matters. He didn't take credit for the mod and half of these mod authors aren't going to port them because it's been forever since they've been on. Let people enjoy themselves, Killjoy. As long as people can enjoy my mod, I don't care who uploads it.
Because RobinBurnett Getting permission before hand Matters, , you might thing it ok to take someone else's mod they spent creating and getting the look just right, and then bothering to even share is Ok, But not the owners of these mods this player updated then re uploaded , and I agree with mod owners o.O Mod Authors / Owners should always have full control of their mods, Just how hard is it to simply ask for permission or contact for permission
RobinBurnette I gave up with modding before I created anything magnificent. Because 2 weeks after I uploaded these shields I found them on few other websites with no original readme or any mentioning of my name. On many chinese websites too and on steam workshop also. You don't understand why it matters ? Because I am not asking for money or glory. I am willing to spend a lot of time creating something for others. All I ask is some respect / gratitude. Instead of respect / gratitude I see people uploading my work on other websites. So NO THANK YOU. I rather use mods from other authors instead of wasting my time with creating any.
Is this only supposed to be available through crafting? Somehow it seems like every other draugr in my game has a Stark shield.
Edit: Scratch that. I found the problem. I prefer this Stark shield to the one that comes with BDYEB, but I forgot to remove the Stark esp from BDYEB. derp.
Hey I just wanted to let you know... For some reason, the shield appears black with no textures, just black... You can still see the shape of the shield but all black with no textures, I'm thinking it maybe cause I equipped the shield via console command, maybe that can cause an issue, but idk... Thanks and it looks like a good mod judging from the videos so I'll endorse anyway, great job!
