I would not be surprised if the TLD unofficial mods were blocked by Hinterland on purpose. What is stopping them from using this oppurtunity to hide malware within them as well? To sum it up - in order to create unofficial mod, the modder must break the law. If the initial means of modding means that this person broke the law, what is stopping them from hiding malicious malware in these mods, to prey on the unsuspecting players? If this happened, the backslash would then fall on Hinterland, whom had no say in the matter in the first place. Problem is that in order to do this, they must break the author law, because the modification happens without the Hinterland´s approval. But, if someone unofficially mods the game, it means that they illegaly crack through the protective layer of their game, exposes the code which Hinterland has exclusive author rights for, and modifies it through unofficial means, completely out of the control of Hinterland. With official support, Hinterland can monitor and control the modding and protect the players from potential abuse by modders. When the game receives official mod support, it means the company created another product which has tools to adjust their original product, through their own tools. TLD is their product, and as such its protected by author laws. I am not a moderator or any kind, and I am not Hinterland staff, but I study company economics and maybe my explanation of why this is bad will help you people understand why I believe Hinterland cracks down so hard on unofficial mods. So I know it's hard for you, hopefully Hinterland makes it all okay and allows modding one day but right now I don't think they are for modding which is quite unfortunate.Īlso, be careful - the Hinterland dont take kindly to discussions of mods, modding of the game and or discussions on this topic, as seen here. Basically modders mod at their own discretion, and if they don't know what they are doing they could seriously harm their game.īut I understand why people are hurt after this update, we had the whole fiasco where people (me included) were not able to play their game due to crashing, thankfully I fixed my game, but also now people have lost their ability to mod. But also once people mod their game issues can arise especially if that individual has no real clue as to what they are doing, and Hinterland don't want to be bothered with the reports of issues because it takes attention away from those who have reports from their unmodded game if that makes sense. etc.īack in the old days most gaming companies admittedly did not like people modding, thank goodness companies are starting to realize that usually those who mod don't want to cheat they just want to better their game.īut yea I think also why modding is not supported for TLD is because it's not really finished at least story wise, even though the sandbox is where it's at in my opinion - I LOVE TLD Sandbox / Survival Mode. Hopefully one day Hinterland will accept and allow modding since most companies do, I think it would actually help them not only sell more of TLD, but it would also help bolster the Forums, the Teams Rep, etc. I don't want you or anyone else to get in trouble, this is why I am just letting you know in a friendly way. I don't want to speak for Hinterland, but I don't think they like mods, and I heard if it's mentioned people can get in trouble. If Hinterland is taking way too damn long to implement even the very basic mods, why should they flip off unofficial mods as temporary workout? Makes no sense, tbh.īe careful, I am only warning you out of concern. That program apparently doesn't work anymore since this update. The big problem is, there is a program that is used to collect PNG pics from the TLD code and they are used on TLD wikia. You could probably search around the forums for other Mod related threads and see there what their stance on the subject is. I am fairly certain mod support is one of the most commonly requested community suggestions, and as such is probably in Hinterland´s own wishlist for future, but as far as I know, TLD does not have mod support yet.īut I could be wrong, just a regular forum member here. ![]() I dont expect the Hinterland will respond to this and if they will, not in a very friendly manner. These few mods were created by the community unofficially, and players use them at their own risk. ![]() ![]() I am pretty sure that The Long Dark doesnt have official mod support yet.
