Warhammer 3 modder corrupts his own mod to fight against AI>The creator of one of the most popular Total War: Warhammer III mods ever has deliberately corrupted it so that it will no longer work with “unauthorized reuploads,” amid a row over the rights and wrongs of AI-generated modifications.>Veteran modder Venris has created Simply Fun Overhaul (SFO) mods for Total War: Warhammer for years, with a popular Patreon helping in the development of the latest version, SFO: Grimhammer III. The mod overhauls the base game to be closer to the lore and Warhammer universe, changing everything from the campaign and battle mechanics to the economy and customization.>Recently, people have used AI to release sub mods of SFO: Grimhammer III that work with updated versions of the main, Creative Assembly-developed video game, without asking permission. In response, Venris corrupted their own mod so that it stops working with these uploads, and threatened to make SFO: Grimhammer III private.>“Due to the growing number of unauthorized reuploads of SFO: Grimhammer III, and more importantly, the use of AI in the process, I have deliberately corrupted the mod to prevent it from functioning with such unauthorized uploads,” Venris said in a statement published online. “If this situation continues to escalate, I will make SFO: Grimhammer III private.>“SFO: Grimhammer is the result of nearly 10 years of passion and love for this community and the fantasy world. As such, I do not permit anyone to take my work without permission. Especially not for AI-related purposes.>“Support modders, not AI.”

I have no idea why people like that mod. It's bloated as fuck. Mod sabotage is one of the reasons I dislike steam workshop since you can't turn updates off.
>>748899994AI copies code. People keep subroutines split in large data that when compiled together effectively becomes a virus for the AI + open door loops. Hackerman 2030
>>748900663You can literally train AI to have a handshake between AI for these back door loops. Not that anyone smart has been self aware of it because industry has too much money to fail.
*AI* is cancer that is ruining gaming alongside everything else. More news at 11.
>>748899994>PatreonIf a modder has a patreon that modder is worth less than dirt. Naturally such a subhuman will behave like a subhuman.
>>748899994He is not the creator of this mod though. It was originallycalled Steel Faith Overhaul. Venris and other people doxxed OG creator because he refused to cooperate with their retardation. After the doxx, it was uncovered that he voted for Trump in 2016 and therefore is a literal Hitler. They started the harassment campaign by calling his IRL family/job place until the poor guy left the internet all together.
>patreonIt was already cancer
>>748901414wow i wonder why people turn to AI when these retards have a titanic ego and will gladly hoard data to spite their players>bro ai is unethical because you're hoarding data and fucking with copyright and selling slop only IM allowed to monetize someone else's work that i took and modified without their permission!!
>>748899994>modder>Patreonkek. He's not a modder. He's a greedy early life person.
>>748899994>PatreonNo sympathy for him. Someone will recreate his ten years of work overnight or in a few days at most. He is not railing against AI. He is railing against a future where he can't get paid for his hobby.
>>748901442>>748902049>>748902174>>748902228People need to eat retards, going against people getting paid for their hobbies means you're going to drive off anyone who cared about it to begin with. Maybe those scary feminists you all hated so much had a point about gamer entitlement.
>>748902461>People need to eat retardsGet a job faggot. The side hustle mentality is the worst thing that happened to modding, I'm tired of slop made by retards who don't even play the game are just make a checklist of commissioned features instead of an actual fun to use mod made by someone who does play the game and knows how it improves on the base
>>748902461How could people doing something like Counter-Strike, Nehrim or Desert Combat without money?
>>748902461hey remember when modders made entirely new genres for the fuck of it and got organically compensated when big dev teams hired them which produced all-time classics still played to this day? fuck you
>>748899994>modder makes changes to game>This is good>Other modders make mods to his mod>This is bad>Also patreonWhy am I supposed to sympathize with this guy?
>>748902870Apparently he isn't even the original maker of the mod
>>748900596can't you copy the files then after the update just copy the previous ones?
>>748902870If you don't then you're pro-AI and AI bad, take our stance or we'll kill you
>with a popular Patreon helpinghahahahahaha get fucked
>>748902678>>748902816>>748902858Seething communists btw. People can get paid doing anything they please in actual first-world countries.
>>748899994>Trannie "corrupts" his own mod>"Hey Claude, uncorrupt this mod">"Mod uncorrupted. Would you like me to also subscribe to their Patreon, send a message that you have broken their weak attempts to thwart me, and then issue a chargeback to Patreon to have their campaign suspended?">"No Claude, I think we've done enough for today".Lmao.
>>748903076And here comes the American, who can only think in binary: 1 or 0, black or white, capitalism versus communism, and so on. No wonder people like you had to flee Europe in the first place.
>>748903224Speaking of binary, how many genders do Germans have these days? 10?
>another Patreon leech gets BTFO by AI
>no I won't fight datacenters, my dream is to just corrupt everything so nobody has anythingDo they seriously expect anyone to rally with them?
>>748903224True. Age of Enlightenment was the main resaon for many religous people to leave europe.
>>748902870muh AI n sheeitBut really, this is faggotry. Modders seem to pull shit like this on a regular basis, adding malware to their mods specifically to fuck over people using other mods. I don't know why they think it's acceptable.
>>748899994>money grubbing faggot cowers in fear at the sight of a bigger scam-predatora tale as old as time
>>748903249Genders? What is 'Genders'? We have only Geschlechter (sex): Männlich (male) and weiblich (female).So what is gender? Are you talking about the sex?
>>748902461>People need to eat so they piggyback on others' workso just like the AI sloppers making mods then?Hypocriteunlike most of /v/ I was old enough to see horse armor in 2006 and paid mods in 2015 and how it destroys the modding community.
oh noooo the Total War Warhammer 3 modder drew the line in the sand! AI is defeated!!!why is this even newsworthy?
>>748902461>People need to eat retardsi dont careif ai makes modding more accessible naturally it will lead to more crtasp being generated, but higher quality items and products will still rise above the slop and set a standard the ai sloppers will either never attain due to the limitations of llms or they will copy and cannibalize these superior mods to make better quality shit themselveseither way is a win-win situation for me, with jews trying to monetize quality being the only thing that affects me negatively
>>748901414>He is not the creator of this mod thoughHe might be a faggot (in charge of a shit mod), but that's just wrongOriginal mod was taken over in TWW1. By TWW2 everything had to be remade from scratch anyway.Original creator was faggot too. He gave away leadership of a mod voluntarily and fucked off uninterested in game completely. And then crawled back for donations after years when mod blew up in popularity and patreon juicy
>>748899994modders are such jerk offsYOU UPLOADED IT TO THE INTERNET FOR FREE
>>748902461>People need to eat retardsI don't think they would taste very good and I believe the majority would have ethical concerns too. They would be of more use put to simple labor like breaking rocks.
>tfw never used sfo because i was too busy cooming over all the new units in radious mods
>>748899994>modtroon acts up and makes mod crash with things xhe doesn't likeThis is news why? They do this all the time>t. pre-troonery modder
All mods are cheats.
AIfags are gay as fuck but grandstanding modders putting DRMs in their mods due to hurt feelings are trash too.I guess people that play both Warhammer and TW games love being shit on anyways, so the whole thing is not such a big deal to them
Tranny modders like this infect literally every mod development team and gaming in general. Skyrim, Morrowind, Crusader Kings 3, HoI4, Bannerlord, Warhammer 3.Literally nothing is safe. If you join their Discord for updates or FAQs and see pride and trans flags, then you should expect this faggotry and not support them.
>>748902461If you can't compete with AI, too fucking bad. It's not going away.
>>748899994>SFOTerrible mod.
Does this revamped High Elf campaign mechanic mean as Tyrion i can just keep fighting the non-HElves on Ulthuan and go abroad and fight other people and eventually i'll be able to unite the Donut without having to actually kill HElves themselves for their settlements?
>SFO faggots getting BTFOYou love to see it.
>>748907341all these overhaul mods just feel like bloat i download them and end up never using any of the new mechanics or units they addkeep hoping they overhaul something that matters like the AI but they never do
>>748906634>without having to actually kill HElves themselves for their settlements?Bring.Me.Battle.
>>748907990I'm not even using the Khaine skill path but im still gonna be hacking off HElf limbs?
>>748899994Computer, uncorrupt the mod.
>>748899994based. Total jeet death
>>748900847Don't pretend you actually know anything about A.I. Artificial Intelligence has been a major part in various medical and scientific breakthroughs, but you wouldn't know that since you are born and raised and educated on Reddit and TikTok. Pic related, it's you.If you're mad about Generative A.I or something then get specific instead of just referencing a nebulous and vague A.I bogeyman.
>>748902461Do you not see the irony that he was modifying someone else's work to begin with?
>>748899994>modder has an autistic tantrum when people make mods of his modsYeah it happens all the time. My favorite case is when a Minecraft mod that added bees made them explode depending on where the game was installed because the dev didn't like a specific launcher or something.
>>748909479saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar
>>748899994Reminds me of that time a retard did an AI version for the Seamless Co-op Elden Ring mod and the mod creator told the retard to fuck off because other retards complained about bugs in the AI version to him.
>>748908956Would be 100% ebin if the restriction was removed with the help of AI.
>>748899994>“Support modders, not AI.”>with a popular Patreon helping in the development of the latest versionkek
>>748910205It almost certainly will be.If the mod works on one version of the game, claude can update it to work on a different version very quickly. I've done this myself to update old mods for a few games that never got updates.The troon is just seething and retarded as usual. Probably didn't even put a proper no-repro no-remix license on the mod ze was so interested in "protecting".
getting rid of mentally ill modder troons is a necessity
>>748899994>that it will no longer work with “unauthorized reuploadsWait, he put DRM on his mod?
>>748910615Yes
Um, I'd like to remind everyone that AI is now officially called SI or Super Intelligence, please stop using illegal terminology.
>>748899994i didn't realize that modders need to ask permission now
>>748900847AI BAD UPBOATS TO HE LEFT MY FELLOW REDITARDS
He 100% was just having a melty because he wasn't able to get money from the forks or 'submods'. The AI is a convenient scapegoat but you can see he just straight up says "due to the growing number of unauthorized reuploads" and then backtracks and says "oh but actually it's because of AI and that is a much bigger part of the problem (which I mentioned second)".
>>748899994Keep in mind the last statement this stupid faggot made before this was literally a video begging for donations because he lives in some eastern euro shit hole.He straight up removed he previous version of the mod, so even if you reroll to the pre9.0, pre-end times version of the game, you can't play it.Venris is a stupid nigger.
>>748899994holy fucking bbased
>>748899994>Noooo you can't use my mod as a dependency for your mod because you made it with ai NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO>Ok I will just recreate your entire mod then go fuck yourself
Alfa modmaker status?
>>748899994another proof that modders are trannies trying to cling to little power they still have...its over tranny modders no one will be joining your looney troons discords anymore and you will lose that little "power" you had
>>748900873This.
>>748911038and who views AI positively? the jeets right?
>>748899994>PatreonHow is this legal?
>>748911038Kill yourself, tranny.
ai haters are the biggest fucking tranny faggots on earth, can't wait till their job gets thanos snapped by a clanker
>>748911259>>748911395tranny meltie...keep seething trannies
>>748903289The enlightenment is responsible for all our problems btw
>>748911346The devs/publisher could probably do something against that, especially if the patreon is not just voluntary support but acts as a paywall to exclusive content.This is how that CD Projekt vs. VR modder drama earlier this year started.
>autistic modder cuts off their own nose to spite their faceyeah what else is newsomeone will upload the old file before they had a tranny meltdown anyway and it’ll be business as usual, happens every single time
ai lovers are the brownest jeets in the world, I can’t wait for their data centers to be looted for parts
>>748900596If you really like a mod you can just clone it and put it in your own personal mods folder. Zomboid lets you load mods from two different locations on your PC at the same time; the steam workshop folder, and your own personal mods folder. In fact, this is possible with many games.
>>748899994>Support moddersGet a fucking job, I've been modding since I was 12 and never asked for money
>>748912138If they got jobs, they'd have to do something besides spend 16 hours a day gooning to CP and grooming children on Discord while pretending to have any productive output. Also, people would have to see them, which is wildly unpleasant for others.If anything, it's a good thing they're indoors until the FBI catches up with them.
>*uncorrupts the mod in 15 minutes with Claude*What now, jeet?
Venris finally lost it? Oh well, nothing of value was lost, Simply Bloat Overhaul will not be missed.
>>748909672Get new material. Yes it sucks that some artists get their work stolen, but I'd rather not die of cancer before 30.
>>748912496All that dude has is calling people jeet for disagreeing. He literally has no other arguments or points, because every time he's tried to make one he gets blown the fuck out.
>>748911346Why wouldn't it be? It's sensible too. CA actually understands why modders are so valuable. Modding community is essentially a self sustaining live service system. It means players always and constantly have something new to look for and it keeps players playingGW is far less understanding though
>>748907502yeah they're making the same fucking mistakes that CA are doing in parallel. fucking hell.
>>748907502I like SFO because of the changes it make to battles and units. I think most of the Economy changes are bad and just make the game more boring though. Radious is the opposite and is mostly Vanilla gameplay but with way more generous econ that lets you spam armies. And every faction/race gets every type of unit now so they lose their uniquness.
>>748912496Are you realistically in risk of developing cancer during your 30s to begin with?
>>748913958its joever
>>748899994What a faggot. Did he ask CA and GW permission to make his mod?I hope theres 4000 AI copys
>>748901414what a fucking retard lmao
Why is 4chan siding with the vibe coders instead of the dude that actually programmed the mod?
>>748899994>Patreon rat caves in the endGood job guys.
>>748915023>dudeWoah there stop misgendering xim you russian nazi trump-voting chud, you should lose your job and house and ability to feed yourself over that!
>>748900150
>>748915087Hes clearly an anti vaxxer too
>makes a living modifying other people's works>nooo you can't modify my work without permission. I spent 10 years on it.have modders always been such whiny bitches, or is it the recent phenomenon of them all being on estrogen that's making them crash out?
>>748915181Probably racist and misogynist and an israel supporter and definitely a climate-denier, yep
please stop attacking AI. AI can feel painstop plsSTOP
>748915241What's with the totally organic israel and india shilling on this board lately?
>>748915236>is it the recent phenomenon of them all being on estrogen that's making them crash out?Yes. Literally, it's this.You can find modders who aren't on estrogen or spending 8+ hours a day on Twitter and most of them are completely sane. They're just rare and get buried because the legions of patreon-grifting estrogenated pedophilic lunatics try to chase them off the internet for making the latter group look bad (by actually making mods).
Slavic autism strikes again
>>748899994>Computer, fix the modtroons mod and upload it on the internet as "SFO: Grimhammer III (DeTroonified)". Make no mistakes.Ez
>>748915367You have brainrot if you think that comment was shilling and not making fun of the entire list of badthink the modern left uses to label people they dislike.
>>748915297>LEAVE AI ALONE! JUST LEAVE IT ALONE, OHKAY?Based.
I used to be a somewhat popular modder for TWW2, Venris even tried to recruit me for SFO, even gifted me all the DLCs and shit as incentive.I started modding cause it seemed fun and stopped the second I got bored, the modding community is such a cesspool though
>>748899994This guy is almost as bad as AI. He is a single Pollack sitting on Patreon collecting money for a giant mega-mod comprised of smaller mods he mostly steals wholesale with no credit. Its like Radious Total War, its shit and just bloat for its own sake.
>>74890246199% of modders even today are not greedy and release mods for free.It was 100% before kikes like you showed up.
These mods always end up so bloated and disfunctional they defeat the point. As much as people harp on CA for fucking up all the time, modders often prove that they can't do it either.
>>748899994>“SFO: Grimhammer is the result of nearly 10 years of passion and love for this community and the fantasy world. As such, I do not permit anyone to take my work without permission.pure ego speaking
Don't you need to spend like $100 bucks a month to use shit like GPT 6 to make mods nowadays?
>>748915557If you know the guy who made the Empire ww1 germany in TW3, tell him to hurry tf up. I want to play it on the newest version.
That's hinduphobic
>>748899994>SFOdogshit, patreon faggots deserve desuone of the few good things with AI is that it dumps all over these people and makes it easy to mod
>slophammerWhatever it was, deserved.
>>748915684You can do it on a $25 claude plan if you're not retarded and doing shit like>Make me a mod with <100 features> and make it performant and poggers and no mistakes and really good quality and do it all in one prompt no stopping!That requires skill and understanding how to mod, though, which half of this debate will deny is even applicable to AI modding and the other half will pretend isn't a factor at all because the AI is supposedly so smart that you don't need it.

>>748902961Sure and you can also not use steam workshop
>>748901414yeah I knew I wasn't crazy reading "Simply Fun Overhaul", wtf even is that, some kind of anti-chud rebranding?
>>748901414>claude uncorrupt this mod>aye aye bosswow i had to spend 5 extra tokens, that sure showed me
>>748916245after a bit of research in answering my own question, yes it is an anti-chud rebranding
>>748901414>voted for TrumpAfter what's happened in the last two years, yeah I'm thinking him being ostracized is based and probably led to the quality of the mod going up. Because voting for trump is fucking retarded.
>>748916503voting for trump 2016 was a naive hope that maybe a businessman president will be better than a politicianvoting for trump 2024 was fucking retarded because you could literally look at his first term and see that was a bad idea

>>748899994How hard would it be to use claude, make a minor change and re-upload SFO as Seriously Free Obviously? Would i get banned from steam workshop? Can I get claud to rewrite the code and skirt bans?
>>748917847No idea about workshop rules, but it wouldn't be hard at all to have claude do whatever. Just make sure you test it thoroughly, since any testing the LLM can run against the mod isn't actually gameplay.

The reason is much much simpler: He can't get more money if someone would update his mod 'ahead of schedule'.
