Mud Skippers
I am saddened to see that others have stripped my work from me. I spent several months making and testing that mod all by myself, along with several beta testers. Holidays In Ohio Toy Trains is edited the exact same way. The Mud Skippers files I have run perfect...so what's the beef? Just want to smash my face in the mud again...pardin the pun.
I was not informed anyone was going to re-vamp and "take-over" my mod work. If you required any type changes...you should know I of all people would want to be the one who made any type changes.
Bobby never made Mud Skippers...nor Florida Gold...which I was asked to reload along with Georgia and others. What am I to expect...someone to take them over and claim them to be theirs too?
PNG's hold more color layers. If you import a png as a bitmap you just stripped off layers from the png that I painted on...so you would "see holes" in the bitmap image. I tried to explain this many times. If for some strange reason all images need to be edited as bitmaps then I will edit all mine as "flat" colored bitmaps. But the game displays PNG's just fine.
The Mud Skippers I built runs Flawless even now...so why take my work?
Please explain. Also other maps were made as Sams and the old map makers names were left alone...so why was mine stripped? Just a vendetta? Not to mention that Mud Skippers is and always was a self contained map so it didn't need to be made a sam, it already was one.
I am not upset...just want the truth before I go any farther. Thanks
P.S. Oh...not to mention that I have a new "proper" type cargo ship for that mod. The one used that Rodea had was for loading and unloading from the rear door. I just have to get down my new LightWave 10 export to Nif file extention stuff, I also have several new engines and cars etc.
