URBANZ Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I have made the decision to remove automatic awards from marketplace. If you would like to purchase this system or need support if you have already purchased contact me on discord. I will still be updating and offering support for this module.

ags_cs4 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 good move to secure ur code, but keep the mod page and dont upload the files add a txt file for how to contact u and then they get the file directly from you this way ur mod will be still known and show in the market. GL engine need a licence / security to protect the sellers like you said urban we have to upgrade the mod installer with a connect ur MWG account with only one session each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ags_cs4 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 @Sim hmm its long story but will try to sum it up you conect ur MWG acc to verify if you have the licence to use the mod and only one user can use that mod so they dont share accounts .... just some extra security. os the mods or themes wont be shared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
URBANZ Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 With recent events i decided to protect my code for now before it too late, when a better system is in place i will use marketplace in the future. Maybe a MWG marketplace loader for each engine and no direct download of the module just adds it the the engine from ACP with API help. this could potentially reduce numbers of shared code.

Dayo Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 The problem with all of this is it’s all open source software. There is nothing stopping people removing checks etc ... you can’t really have calls to external servers as a game like mine with 1m hits a day would add too much overhead. Your also need that server to always be up forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup last 30 days 32m request 9.2k unique visitors but a lot of my players use VPNs so it’s not accurate. I would say there is about 3-500 unique a day. but let’s get back on topic ... We can add more checks on install of who and where you are installing but it still doesn’t stop people viewing source code and sharing it. you can always see about contacting a lawyer about copyright infringement, you may have to pay them 50% of the settlement, but it acts as a deterrent. Ive personally had no issues selling mods here and to pull them from the market place because one idiot hasn’t grown up only hurts you and your income revenue going forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legal way is the way i would always do things as its property and no different to anything else and would definitely deter people from doing it. I couldnt agree more with that it does effect income and i will still be looking to use marketplace in the future as i have alot of modules to publish and still gives developers a good way to make extra money, nothing against the service at all, dave has done a excellent job with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
