[13:22:21] Corvus Urro: I have a question and I ask you to not read into it too much.
If were to make my own mod, what code from this mod could I use?
For example if I wanted a spawner would you object to me using that code?
And what about baubles code?
[13:24:15] Corvus Urro: And would you help me with that mod?
[13:24:48] The Sarge: read 6 and 7
[13:24:49] The Sarge: https://github.com/TeamWhammich/Soul-Shards-The-Old-Ways/blob/master/LICENSE.md#6-right-to-contribute
[13:26:13] Corvus Urro: The mod I made would still be a Team Whammich mod though
[13:26:32] Corvus Urro: So I would Imagine it would contain slightly altered rules
[13:26:33] The Sarge: I'm just saying you want to take the code from one mod and use it in another mod
[13:28:28] Corvus Urro: Okay my understanding is that you would not let me copy-paste code from SSTOW (obvious exception being my own work) to create another Team Whammich mod
[13:28:48] The Sarge: unless granted permission
[13:29:03] The Sarge: and that'd have to come from all of the team
[13:29:07] Corvus Urro: I just asked if I would get permission
[13:30:05] Corvus Urro: Team whammich is "The Author" correct?
[13:30:14] Corvus Urro: Or are you "The Author"?
[13:30:26] The Sarge: That's a grey area
[13:30:38] The Sarge: as soul shards did start off as my mod
[13:30:55] Corvus Urro: Well let's un-grey it, you were the original author but now Team Whammich is the Author
[13:36:26] Corvus Urro: Are you the leader of Team Whammich? Or are you just the project leader for SSTOW?
If you are the leader of Team Whammich what control does that grant you over the team?
And lastly I would like to revive Project Shards as it was before.
A version of SSTOW moving out of SS shadow. Allowing it to expand beyond what it can be now.
I have been considering reviving it for some time and only recently had I worked out some of the finer details.
[13:37:40] The Sarge: The problem with you working on and releasing project shards, people will believe it's a clone / knock off of soul shards
[13:37:52] Corvus Urro: They won't
[13:38:13] Corvus Urro: It will keep some of the base code but the visual and methods will be different
[13:38:29] The Sarge: what about item names?
[13:38:40] Corvus Urro: They will be changed too
[13:38:54] Corvus Urro: It will move away from the soul focus
[13:40:19] Corvus Urro: I'm going through the items and blocks and working out if:
1) they stay with the same
2) they stay with a name change
3) they get removed
[13:40:31] Corvus Urro: Most things fall under the bottom 2 categories
[13:42:54] Corvus Urro: Petrified wood and xenolith would get removed,
[13:43:16] Corvus Urro: Most everything else would get a name change and a visual overhaul
[13:43:51] Corvus Urro: Corrupted essence would be replaced, with another fuel
[13:44:09] Corvus Urro: soulium would get replaced with another material
[13:44:34] Corvus Urro: Shadow tools would remain too with a slight name change and a visual overhaul
[13:45:23 | Edited 13:45:26] Corvus Urro: The vampiric weapons would be in there too but not as macus
[13:45:28] The Sarge: so far, it's just sounding like the original old ways, just with stuff renamed
[13:45:40] The Sarge: with a few of the newer stuff thrown in
[13:46:02] Corvus Urro: It would allow more freedom
[13:46:22] Corvus Urro: The Teleportation would be in there
[13:46:31] Corvus Urro: I've conceptualised a power system
[13:46:43] Corvus Urro: An actual goal exists
[13:47:03] Corvus Urro: "A tech mod that feels at home in a mages tower"
[13:47:43] Corvus Urro: The power system could probably use RF
[13:49:17] Corvus Urro: Unfortunately a great deal of Archers work would be renders useless
[13:49:53] The Sarge: personally, I wouldn't want to work on two similar mods, so I wouldn't be helping (No offense)
[13:50:28] Corvus Urro: I would asked that you prioritise the mod with the most promise in your mind
[13:51:52] Corvus Urro: So
[13:52:02] Corvus Urro: Can I use SSTOW as a base for Project Shards?
[13:53:46] Corvus Urro: Also the soul shards will function differently and soul will the soul cage so there be even less points of commonality there
[13:55:43] Corvus Urro: Also I will not start on this without your blessing
[13:56:00] The Sarge: Okay, I'm going to scroll up and read / respond to everything you've said
[13:56:48] The Sarge: well, mainly the un-greying thing
[14:07:41] The Sarge: With our current "lack-of-named-leader" system, we've been having a lot of arguments and fights, even though with me bringing the team together would naturally make me the team leader, I have tried not to act like a leader, I've been trying to treat everyone as equals, which I thought was a better environment for everyone. But the only power that would give the team leader really would be adding / removing members without anyone's say so.

I am the project leader for Soul Shards (Again, as stated before I started with soul shards, then brought everyone together on it) but even then I'm not really recognised as project leader as I've tried to get people (If they're not busy in real life) to focus on trying to get features finished so we can get this release out, but that hasn't exactly gone to plan (again), you even commented the first time we argued about trying to work as a team to get the update out that me trying to get everyone to focus on a clear goal was bad for the team (Even though that's exactly what a project leader/manager is supposed to do) so...

Other than been a project leader by name alone, I honestly couldn't tell you.
[14:16:37] Corvus Urro: So Do you give your consent for me to start on Project shards?
[14:17:13] The Sarge: Only if Unstoppable does, but please be aware / prepeared that you may be working on Project Shards alone
[14:17:43] Corvus Urro: I am aware
[14:17:59] Corvus Urro: I will call it a Team Whammich mod though
[14:18:08] Corvus Urro: Unless you all alienate me and refuse to help
[14:19:13] Corvus Urro: Okay
[14:19:27] Corvus Urro: So now that I have your blessing I will start on the mod
[14:19:36] Corvus Urro: I'm calling it Crystal Tech
[14:19:43] The Sarge: You don't have the blessing until Unstoppable comments on it
[14:20:00] Corvus Urro: I Am starting on the mod though
[14:20:11] Corvus Urro: If he says no I will happily scrap everything
[14:20:13] The Sarge: [14:16:37] Corvus Urro: So Do you give your consent for me to start on Project shards?
[14:17:13] The Sarge: Only if Unstoppable does, but please be aware / prepeared that you may be working on Project Shards alone
[14:20:32] Corvus Urro: Oh okay you're consent relies on his
[14:20:58] The Sarge: yeah, I'm not signing off on anything until the other coder says so
[14:21:07] Corvus Urro: I will still start work on the mod predicting his response
[14:21:32] Corvus Urro: I will however as I said Scrap everything happily if he says for me to
[14:21:39] The Sarge: Soul Shards (Reborn) started off as mine, but The Old Ways, is technically mine, his and yours to a lesser extent (Before Whammich)
[14:21:48] Corvus Urro: But with how often he talks
[14:21:57] Corvus Urro: I want to start now
[14:23:24] Corvus Urro: I do hope you will not not help me though
[14:24:05] *** The Sarge scratches head at that sentance ***
[14:24:13] The Sarge: quit using double negatives
[14:24:21] Corvus Urro: I hope that you won't refuse to help me
[14:25:16] Corvus Urro: I will also still make textures for SSTOW if you ask, and may continue to help code
