Please write down all your wishes here so I maybe can include them into the mod.
Ihr könnt natürlich eure Wünsche auch in deutscher Sprache äußern.

Hi max!

I see you like my advtrains_subwayblocks mod so much that you've decided to improve it. However, your mod is a clear violation of my copyrights since you copied the pictures without crediting me. Also, your licensing under LGPL is also a violation, since my mod didn't have any license before (that means, it was proprietary, because I was too lazy to add a license) and it is now under AGPL.

I would like you to properly credit me and to change the license to something compatible with AGPL.

[maxx]

Thanks for your answer. The mod isn’t ready yet as you can see. Of course I will change the license file and add some copyright information.
But it is my first mod which I added to the forum so I am not perfect now.

Today I have found a bug in the code because of the signs and there will be many more signs like train sings in general.


And the mod is only inspired by your mod which is on the Linuxworks server (I haven’t seen your mod anywhere else) so I created the graphics and most of the code myself with the subway as the model.

"License for Textures, Models and Sounds
---------------------------------------

CC-BY-SA 3.0 UNPORTED. Created by maxx"

You were very clearly trying to pass them off as your own.

[maxx]

At first I didn’t understand the License but I will change it the next days. Also I have removed the link as you can see

[gpcf]

The textures of the line numbers, except for line 2, are absolutely identical, btw.

Upper row: yours,
Lower row: mine.

[maxx]

That’s because I tried to make it like the signs on the subways by orwell but YES I will add you to the license

[gpcf]

I'd hardly call a pixel-by-pixel copy "inspired". Please make it clear that this is a modified version of my mod, and I'll gladly use this mod on Linuxworks server, since it adds a couple of nice new blocks!

Btw, my textures are under AGPL v3.

[maxx]

Yes I’ll do so.
Thanks for your help and support!!!

[gpcf]

May I ask you for another favor?
Can you please change the node names so they directly supersede the ones of subwayblocks, so this mod is backwards-compatible with subwayblocks, as a drop-in replacement?

[maxx]

Yes I will do so (but not today because it is too late now). And I have some other ideas as well which will be included the next days or weeks.
One other question: Which other mods did you use, when you tried out my mod?

[maxx]

I have downloaded your subways mod but your license file is wrong because you forgot to write in your name

Code: Select all

<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>

like you can see here.
I have added you to my license file.

And can I please have LGPL as License?

[LuLa]

Hey,
I think the compatibility could also be maintained with minetest.register_alias like this:

Code: Select all

for count = 1, 10, 1 do
   minetest.register_alias("advtrains_subwayblocks:" .. count, "trainblocks:line" .. count)
end

minetest.register_alias("advtrains_subwayblocks:germany", "trainblocks:subwayblock")


Please correct me if I'm wrong!
Very nice mod btw.
Lu

Download trainblocks_bc for backwards-compatibility to advtrains_subwayblocks!

[maxx]

In a few days there will still be one version online (_bc as "normal" version). So please download trainblocks_bc up from now!

AND: new signs are waiting for you
e.g. emergency exit signs, new sbahn signs and traditional stuff

[maxx]

New version available!

Currently I am working on these tiles just like those in the subwaystation "Marienplatz" in Munich:

ich hätte einen wunsch: Das du vielleicht noch ein paar schilder erstellst auf die man z. B. eine haltestation schreiben kann.
