As much as I would love to ask for a download link of a previous version (I was last here 3 years ago). That would be disrespecting the wishes of Hobbes.
It's annoying as hell. I really don't like the decision that Hobbes made, But I also am aware that I can't do what s/he has created, and generally as a labour of love.
I love what Dioxine has done (sorry if misspelled). I'm enjoying all the hard work that SupSuper did creating OpenXcom in the first place.
But it's a bit on the nose to enjoy what content creators have done and turn around and not respect the content creators wishes at the same time.
Finger's crossed it won't be too much longer.
No. Hobbes posted that current versions of mods are fine.
As posted elsewhere, as an author, I've decided that my original work/files in the Terrain Pack, Area 51 and other mods cannot be used anymore by other modders on their own mods.
This applies to any mods that publish new versions after today - you're not required to remove any previous versions that have been already published.
Any unauthorized use of my work will be properly notified and reported, if necessary.
https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,7617.msg119863.html#msg119863So from what I understand, any existing mod can contain this content without any issue, but all further versions must have this content removed.
Don't get me wrong, I really don't care about anybody's position on any of this - I am not allowing an extraordinary mod to wither because of some drama between mortals. However, it really does seem that Hobbes is okay with current versions of mods containing his work, so I feel like the removal of the Xpiratez download link is either because of "Hmmmph"-ing, or because of going totally overboard on the response to Hobbes' request.
Anyway. Until Diox says something about why we can't download XPiratez, I can only speculate. Regardless, just hit me up if you want the K2 version (the K3 is a WIP, it seems).
