Here's a sticky comment to try to keep people ACCURATELY informed as to the current situation of this mod:
Yes, this port is hosted against his wishes. No, it's not against licensing - his repository is licensed under GPL-3.0 which, regardless of nexus permissions, means that people have the right to modify and release under that same license. Which I have done. I did not want to release this against his wishes. I did attempt to contact him, but both failed to wait long enough for him to reply and also failed to find appropriate contact info. This is not entirely my fault; his contact information on the mod pages is out-of-date and unusable, and I am unaware of how to initiate DM's on nexus mods. - EDIT: the mod was placed under moderation as I hadn't included the license file; even after fixing that, I waited to unhide it and sent a nexus forums message (now that I know how to use that, it's a bit of a pain IMO though) - he has yet to respond to that after 4 days. The files will be deleted once he releases his own port, barring any major exceptions such as if he does something to make it unfunctional for certain users. I am not seeking to steal his work - I even offered to let him host the files on his own mod pages as "extra files", no credit required. he refused. He is working on his own port. This patch is just a temporary fix until then. Yes, I did link people to this page from his comments. You can't see it anymore as he removed it. Does that count as advertising? yes. But the intention was to steer people away from the stream of "nautilus port please", not to steal from him. You can't even use this port without download his mod.
And please, please stop harassing him in the comments of his own mod. If people want to know what's going on, they can come here, since he's not accurately stating the situation.
Well, been a year since OSubMarine posted they they were “not that far” from releasing the updated version so I’m guessing they dropped the mod. This mod will likely cause issues with your game and unfortunately is best to not be used.
This tanked my fps, added stutters and inventory lag (the more items, more lag - 30 fps). Edit: Not this mod`s fault, it just alleviated the issue a bit, when removing it.
yes this happened to me too, I think it's due to a bug in this mod that causes items to be duplicated to 0,0,0 so hopefully it will be fixed soon since it absolutely destroys my fps!
During playtesting I could narrow it down to this mod (or the original mod which is also required) that for me, the airbladder-tool was no longer working properly: The animation would still play, including bubbles and sound; however, there´s no lift, no pulling up to the surface (and I want that thing in my earlygame...) I have some stuttering as well, but with >130 mods going around @4790K, I could hardly blame it to any specific mod... Ditched for now - but would be great if this mod could be fixed!!! Would need the carry-alls from this mod as well...
