Hey everyone,
When I posted the link for downloading the MOD2023 from the GPrace blogger, I didn't mean to stir up any controversies. Just to clear things up, I'm Brazilian, but my nationality doesn't matter in this case because I've been a fan of GP4 game since its release. I'm here to learn more about MOD development, whether it's on this forum or any other site that can help me with my doubts, any site at all!
As for the issue of authorship and credits for the work done here, it seems to me a bit of vanity. It's not right to copy modifications made by authors and remove the credits, but for someone who downloads a MOD to play or study how the MOD was made, like in my case, honestly, the authorship of the MOD, credit information, none of that matters much to me, whether it's from A or B.
In my case, I download MODs, modify, test, and thus I enjoy and make the most of the game. When I develop a MOD to share it with the public, I'll definitely give credits to those who produced each step. Apart from that, I modify MODs for learning at home and for personal use. Many times I've made a Frankenstein MOD, with cars from one, tracks from another, etc. I don't see a problem with that, unless it's shared without the proper credits. It's not hard to add a .txt with the credits, and it doesn't diminish your effort in showcasing a worked MOD.
Anyway, I don't care if it's from A or B, if it answers my doubts, I'll be there without judgment.
The concept of a forum aims at several stages: Members can discuss and share modifications (mods) they created or found to improve or change aspects of racing games, such as cars, tracks, graphics, game physics, among others; The forum can serve as a place to share tutorials and guides on how to create or install modifications, helping members understand the modding process and make their own modifications; Participants can share useful resources, such as editing tools, 3D modeling programs, textures, sound effects, among others, which are helpful for modifying racing games; The forum can be used to discuss technical aspects related to game modification, such as programming, optimization, problem-solving, and compatibility between different mods; Members can share their personal experiences with specific modifications, providing feedback, tips, and suggestions to other users, and besides sharing information about modifications, the forum can also serve as a space for racing game enthusiasts to connect, exchange ideas, and form a cohesive community around this common interest.
I think you guys are forgetting about this. I wasn't offended by Thiago Rocha's comment about being Brazilian, and honestly, I've learned and continue to learn a lot from him. He's always very helpful with my doubts. I frequently visit his blog and several other members' blogs here, and I'll keep doing so.
Now, if there's prejudice against Brazilians, that doesn't bother me either. Maybe it's envy because Senna, the greatest of all time, is Brazilian, or maybe because Brazil is the only five-time football champion. Along this journey, I've seen injustices with Rubens Barrichello, Felipe Massa, among others. The only shame I have is that Nelsinho Piquet is Brazilian, he doesn't even deserve comments, whereas the father, Nelson Piquet, is a legend!
Stop making controversies! GP4 is a game, and games are meant to entertain, not to divide!
Just a tip!
