  1. I received a request from the DramaticShapeVoxelMod creator DramaticShape (also known as KingOfSpain on discord) that I take down this entire mod and its releases.
  2.  
  3. You can see his request and my response here in [Issue#6](https://github.com/artyrambles/DRAMALESS_SHAPE/issues/6). As I wrote there, I am respecting his wish to not use any code from v1.6.2 and onward of his mod, which was the version where he silently removed the MIT License. He told me in the discord that I am allowed to make a fork, of which a screenshot has been available in this repo from the beginning. I was not aware of the fact that between 1.6.1 and 1.6.2 he removed the MIT License from his repo, so I based my fork on 1.6.2 in good faith and used it to make my edits. For context of how I could miss such a change, v1.6.0 and v1.6.1 of his mod were released on the same day and v1.6.2 was released two days after it. I actually started working on my mod when v1.6.1 was released and thus it was originally the version I had based my mod on (as you can see from my ST_DramaticShapeVoxelMod repo which is the public fork made on that day), and as 1.6.2 got released I manually went and added in its changes.
  4.  
  5. That last step was now undone and I've removed the 1.6.2 files and code again. Specifically, the ForestAtmosFX and FogFX were affected. Viridian Forest no longer has its atmospheric fog and sunrays now.

  7. He said on the gen1recomp discord that he would take down his mod if my fork wasn't deleted, shortly after I announced that I was working on a fork. After he took down his mod briefly on the same day, my fork was effectively orphaned and I had to re-upload it as its own repo and therefore its own standalone mod. I hurried to get a released version online for people to download as the original mod was no longer available. The github page returned 404, File Not Found. I used some code from other forks of the DramaticShapeVoxelMod as well, as there are quite a few which have existed for a while already and added their own various improvements and fixes.
  8.  
  9. DramaticShape/KingOfSpain later on the same day made his mod available again, and as you can see in the linked Issue page, then demanded that I delete mine. I respect and complied to his request by deleting the v1.6.2.ST release of my mod as well as removing the code that v1.6.2 of his mod added.
  10.  
  11. I do not wish to cause any unrest in the community, and I am always a strong supporter of modders working together. We are all using our free time in our busy personal and job lives to create works of passion for our fellow fans, so I don't think there should be any competition or ill will between modders, or at least we should try to keep things peaceful even if we may have our differences. I named my mod DRAMALESS_SHAPE in the very hope of avoiding further drama related to gen1recomp mods.
  12.  
  13. I'm sorry that I'm not adding any "receipts" or whatever to this paste, but I am very exhausted from these events so I don't have the energy to go and track down screenshots or links. I'd rather focus on writing more code.
