Well, in my oppinion then there is no need to erase a name out of the picture. Seriously, don't get me wrong, but, for example, if someone wants a DVD9 conversion of a already existing DVD5 conversion then there is a way to get that through external Setup.ini if the creator decide to not make these options, or? I think no one has a problem when someone comes up and post a Setup.ini file with dvd9/blueray/whatever options for the creators conversion (like i did on gatosky's Sims 4 conversion for example). Just my two cents.

exactly. i did not make any conversion so far. i am not familiar with the process and i am not that skilled with ps. if i ever do, i will not claimi that i created the graphics from nothing but if i took the time to look for the pictures, make something shiny and nice and put in that conversion that it was me who compiled everything, i think it should remain there. and then if someone wants to update the conversion, thats ok. take credit for modifying it but do not remove my credit for making it in the first place.

So FF... as T-Bone did... fuck you.
Bamse, I did say "Without downloading the WatchDogs conversions and just going on the installer pics", obviously I was wrong, my apologies.

I did post the file listing etc to suit DVD9 for Revo to make changes, he chose not to so I chose to do it. Again nothing was used from Revo's conversion by me, none of the pics were Revo's in the first place so I had no qualms doing the whole process myself. I 'did' create it and my name is not plastered all over it. Why would I put someone else's name on it if it was me who did all the work. I've said this before and will say it once more, I used Revo's Wolfenstein conversion as a learning tool as he used most of the features of Yener's script but the workmanship was sloppy to say the least. It was just a rushed job in my opinion. I have an eye for detail and fixed the flaws. The conversion was for myself only, it was never going to be released onto the net, but since Revo wouldn't budge on the changes I did it myself. It is as simple as that.

that is completely true, we can't argue that but if someone took the time to create this conversion (same conversion as above as example) why hasn't he left everything as it is and just made a note "created by bamse, updated to latest version by me"?

same thing for Wolfenstein - The New Order. you (grumpy) have "credits" for graphics of that conversion yet that conversion is a plagiated version of revo's conversion with "revolution graphic arts" removed. i guess that should be considered as a "compliment" as well?

I am all for updating conversions to latest versions of the game when new update or dlc gets released but this is ridiculous. hogging the credits for something that you just modified, not created from nothing.
hogging 'credits' WTF !!! Ive NEVER put my name on ANY conversion nor ever will. Don't need to feel that important that I have to have name in 'lights' for all to see. I stated that I made a copy of SC1 as close as I could match it, without having originals to go from, and that I forgot when I made the post to thank fox' for it was his SC1 that I based it off of. I DID quickly put the 'credit' to him as he was fine with that.

Its the rest of you I have doubts about. you don't like it here then leave & don't come back, simple as that. You start posting, bitching & whining about past issues, again quite simple, stop coming here go elsewhere for your conversions. Or make your own & put your name all over it for all to 'praise' you. I do this simply for enjoyment but if all you want to do is cry about them
then again go elsewhere & don't bother coming back. Sick of this BS

@Bamse
Well what can I say except to say 'sorry'. I have since taken a closer look at your Watchdog installer Pics. Yes I concede my previous comment was 'un-educated' and you have actually taken the time to construct those pics yourself using images you don't actually own. Before you jump on me let me explain and this is where that very 'fine line' is drawn when people start accusing people of stealing. You do not own THIS pic but it was clearly one of the pics used to create your installer pic. I can see the work you have done to the original pic to get it suitable for your installer by adding the 3D Box effect etc. At the time of looking at your installer pics I did not realize the 'small installer' image was showing in front the Background image. Hard to put that bit in writing but what I guess I am trying to say is I thought you had just posted 2 pics as one. I thought you had just layered the installer pics all together for preview purposes, I didn't realize it was actually how the installer looks when installing.
I don't mind admitting I was wrong and I am sincere when I say 'sorry' I was wrong with my original comment. You did create those images which pakrat 'borrowed' and has since thanked you for.
I did say this to 'fox' in a PM 'I don't think Pakrat is the type to purposely piss people off', I stand by that comment and think he genuinely forgot the Credits and added them as soon as it was pointed out.

Oh sorry, the point "erasing names" didn't goes out to you.
