Leister Locomotive Works Project Thread

Having spoken to him they are TS cabs and sounds, and for whatever his reason his he has just decided to ignore everything and to quit uploading from TS because “he doesn’t want to deal with it” and wants this thread locked. I don’t know what his deal is but this is childish behavior.

For as long as I can recall, any repaint for a SLI engine needed the shape file, and capview/sound folders. Of course one could swap out the SLI cabview and sound folders with something else. The shape file and SLI cab and sound folders shouldn't be part of the file.

It’s easier just to alias the sounds via the eng file and the cabview textures via the cvf file, that way you aren’t uploading payware sounds or cabs.

Describes him to a tee I'm sorry to say. There are rules and a code of ethics that you have to observe when it comes to stuff like this. His attitude will catch up with him. Short of starting his own website to peddle his stuff, other forums won't put up with this kind of behavior either. And if he does startup a website, word will get out what he does with the files and he could see himself in some serious legal trouble.

I know for a fact he isn’t going to make his own site to upload stuff, he just said his stuff will be uploaded to the trainsimcommunity site, since they have a small openrails section there.

His problem is he wants to be a creator, and I understand that, I love to create activities when I have the time. sometime just for myself, sometimes for the community. But when he is doing it for the community, a whole different set of rules apply, and he just needs to learn them. If he follows the rules, it doesn't matter how accurate his creations are, as long as he is enjoying himself. But, when passing off other people's work as his own, or not getting the proper permission to use other people's work and posting it here where the website could be held liable for copyright infringement. He is then claiming we are all in the wrong when he hasn't done all the research into what is required. That is not stupid, or childish, it is just ignorant. He should be asking questions and getting the information from those of us that know rather then calling us liars, or reporting us saying what we are saying is false. He just doesn't have the understanding of what it takes to do it right. I don't think he is another person that shall not be named. Just someone that needs to learn how to do it properly.

So he will upload the files there including cabviews and sounds like he did here?

The point was, cabview and sounds shouldn't be uploaded into the files just as much as the shape files shouldn't be uploaded.
It's not that hard of a concept to understand.

Simply state in the readme that so many others do, to copy and paste the files as well as the shape files used, into your new locomotive folder.. and that said locomotive will require you to have not only the original shape, but require you to have sounds/cabviews needed to be run properly.

Most likely won't now because of what I told him (I hope). If it does happen the people who own that site will probably just take down his mods.
It's easier to just alias the stuff to the original folders rather than just copy the entire cabview and sound folders into a reskin folder for just a single locomotive (also takes up less space on your storage).

OK.....Eric said earlier he pulled some of his latest uploads. Are the rest of his uploads in order? Eric or a MOD might want to check. Honestly, and I'm sorry to say, I don't think he'll be missed if he takes his ball and goes home.

I wouldn't go as far as saying that. It's already hard enough to have people willing to produce and release reskins and retextures of items. Just need to learn to do it properly when it comes to releasing items that are payware based, and learn to take help when help is provided or given.

Though, I don't think he would come back if he was hazed the way I was at this forum. It's surprising I even came back... Thankfully I discovered the ignore feature.

I've locked down the submissions that I know of which have unexplained cabviews and sounds. If the sources are identified, they can be unlocked.

If you find something with questionable content, let me know. We get one or two of those reports each week.

All that said......

This site is here to help those who want to learn and there's really no shortage of mentors available for whatever floats your boat, be it model creation, repainting, sounds, physics or route building...

That learning process only works if you're open to feedback and can abide by the standards of the community. Best of luck to him elsewhere if that's what he chooses to do. All of his other uploads remain available.

[eric]

Thank you Unoriginal for trying to lead him in the right direction over on Discord...

Just in case there was any doubt over the uploads that were asked about -- they did have the TSI cabview and sounds, and have been locked down:

You're making this way too hard on yourself. All you have to for a SLI repaint is say in the readme which shape file(S) are used and which cabview and sound folders to use. I believe it is allowed to add the shape for a FA if it was you who designed it. With some of your uploads you did this, others you didn't. If the user doesn't have the shape file, they are out of luck. And of course if the user knows how, they can use a different cabview with different sound. Heck, the horn and bell can be changed out to something else if one knows how to.

I would resubmit your re-paint without the cabs or the sounds but with them aliased to the TS folders. That should get you right with everyone and you would have learned an important lesson.
