metaphor Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 What's the controversy here? I don't understand. I'm guessing it was just an oversight that they didn't release the source code. Why do you think it was something else Khaoscorp? Why is releasing the source code so important? I'm lost...I've been playing with this mod and I'm really enjoying the added planets. I'm in the middle of a mission to Ablate, the one orbiting close to the Sun. It's a pretty big challenge that I haven't had for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sumghai Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Why is releasing the source code so important? I'm lost...According to the Plugin Posting Rules And Official Documentation:RulesBecause of the nature of these things, All plugin sourcecode must be made publically available, either by including it in your parts zip, or by posting it on a public code repository (like github). This will help prevent malware. If you contact a website or other network or computer system with your plugin, you must tell users exactly what you\'re sending or receiving in a clear and obvious way. This means no fine text and no big words. Your plugin must not edit, delete, or create files outside of the KSP installation folder. This will, again, help protect user privacy and avoid destructive behavior. Do not pop up ads or install additional software. Do not decompile, modify or distribute any of the DLLs or other files KSP comes with beyond stuff in the Parts folder. Follow the EULA. For assemblies, you may only use exposed public or protected members of classes, and you may not examine the code within any member. You are not allowed to remove or modify Squad logos or copyright notices. Keep it clean. No cursing, pornography, or offensive material here, please. Get permission before using or editing someone else\'s work, unless their license explicitly gives you open permission. This includes external libraries.

Specialist290 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) Friendly neighborhood moderation staff reminder: Let's keep the inflammatory posts and personal attacks to a minimum, please.As others have previously noted, links to the download have been pulled because Kragrathea failed to provide a license and access to the source code in compliance with full regulations. That may not have been a wise move on the developer's part, but it's no excuse for members of this community to antagonize a developer or one another over the fallout. Once the proper requirements are met, we will lift the restrictions on posting download links; until then, we expect the community to remain calm and civil.Have a nice day Edited November 7, 2013 by Specialist290 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LtHeckard Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Where is the download link? I heard it's been released. Am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Destroyer Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I'm amazed at the response- a little glitch, no source code, and everyone goes mad, even though in a few days the source will be cleaned up and back to normal. Then we can all enjoy a planet mod, shall we?@above it was taken down by Mr. Shifty because theere was no source code. It will be back soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metaphor Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Thank you, Specialist290.LtHeckard, download links aren't going to be up on this site until Kragrathea releases the source code. There's a thread on Reddit about the mod though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william758 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Kragrathea posted a comment on the reddit post with plans of releasing the source code this weekend.Guess everyone will have to go to reddit to download or wait until then.-Also a new version is up that's supposed to fix the problems with Mac/Linux/Steam versions.

KhaosCorp Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I'm amazed at the response- a little glitch, no source code, and everyone goes mad, even though in a few days the source will be cleaned up and back to normal. Then we can all enjoy a planet mod, shall we?@above it was taken down by Mr. Shifty because theere was no source code. It will be back soon .Its not 'a little glitch' though...lack of (or potential lack of) a source, and the ensuing idiocy (that was no fault of Krags mind you) was the reason Krag's first thread was locked. So not including it and making a release...not a glitch...Think about as it applies to this whole situation...not just that ya have new planets to play with.....my bad for trying to keep the community strong for the right reasons.I swear...this is starting to become another g-mod over the past few months...makes me sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanKell Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Not touching the rest, but just, folks, can we not just assume maleness? On the previous thread it was established that it's "she." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaydeeDem Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Don't criticize. This mod is awesomeOr make a mod like thatStep back from your screen and take a minute to realize this isn't just about "ERMAGHED PLANERTS!" This is about a user who purposefully broke plugin rules so she could have "fame" and a monopoly on planet mods. Think about all the revolutionary mods before this one; Kethane, Mechjeb, KAS and KMP. Did those mod authors break rules for internet points? No. In fact, most of them encourage the editing of source code and other assets! Kragrathea is being selfish by not abiding to simple rules and I really hope she wises up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KasperVld Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I'm closing this thread. It's constantly derailing into a discussion about releasing the source code. This despite several warnings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
