Would be best for Laikdinks to just abandon it so others can work on it if this is usually how long it takes for him to update his mods
Is 2 months long enough to consider it functionally abandoned?Info: he's probably still updating it (there is a post about that on his discord a few days ago)
But he's doing updates mostly on weekends anymore, quite busy with rl lately
Also for me it does not feel right to kinda "overtake" only because it's not updated soonish
Based on the rules here, 6 months without any update is only considered abandonedIs 2 months long enough to consider it functionally abandoned?
I mean, as a general rule, anyone with the technical skill, time, and willingness can take over a mod that hasn't been updated for a while. If you want to, you can even make a competing mod.Can we have news from the modder?
What is the rule for a mod that no longer receives updates? can any modder take over or should we report so that an admin can take care of transferring the mod to another modder?
Very sincerely I hope that you will resume the mod, you are the only one who has clearly expressed yourself in favor of resuming the mod, it has still been 2 months since the game update was released.I mean, as a general rule, anyone with the technical skill, time, and willingness can take over a mod that hasn't been updated for a while. If you want to, you can even make a competing mod.
But, if you do make a mod based on the existing work of another modder (reusing the actual code from the original mod), it's good form to at least credit the original modder for their previous work. I did this myself when I continued a few of Ripson's walkthrough mods.
I'm a little bit hesitant to continue LainDink's work myself, though, even though he clearly needs the offload.
You could always use URM and UCD together. As, for the most part, they usually work. Assuming you really wanna play a game and a wtmod hasn't been updated for awhile or perhaps hasn't had a wtmod made for it.Okay, so, just a question though.. Does anyone know whether this mod will be updated?
Not asking b/c I'm trying to rush the dev or whatnot; genuinely just curious, ya know?
Wanna download the game update sometime, but I also wanted to ask here in advance so I know whether or not to check here every now and then.
