Hello, I would like to know if the mods can be protected so that only the author can edit and update them.

I don't expect that there would be much of a market for paid mods (obviously, I could be wrong on that), and if your mod is poorly made, I don't want to play it.
- the intent to make money off of said software or
- a way to hide poor implementation of that software.
Might as well be I'm missing another source of motivation to "protect" mods.

No i am essentially against this!
Modders claiming their work and Modifications as only editable/useable by themselfes is one of the mainproblems of Giants-FS!
As i'Ve written, since the first day i am here especially for modding!
I already asked MBB multiple times if it is allowed/accepted to start a topic about modding.
Me was given the answer to wait until EA starts and Modders Forum goes online!
Since then i am waiting and i expect to others do so too!
So please delete/close this thread.
Stay kind and fair!
And better think twice before requesting such things!

The OP is a spanish youtuber, as you can see he already shows his social media... and I'm pretty sure he's asking that just to try to make money with mods.
This is just his third post and he is asking this kind of questions.
So yes I think this thread should be close!

The intention is that other people do not edit my mod and upload it to other websites as their creation

I understood Vanquish in this way: He doesn't want someone to take his mod, write his own name as the author in the unchanged mod and upload it - so noone would know, who really wrote the mod, people would think, the "thief" would be the author or creator of the mod (remember: the thief didn't change anything in the mod, only the credits).
Is it, what you meant? Otherwise I would have to agree with MB-M@x...

I think you need to abandon the idea you own a mod when you make it. When someone download a mod he is happy to get it and it doesnt matter who made it. When you upload a mod, you must be happy that lots of ppl can use it, and some guys will make shitty edits of it. Other will make a nice conversion from it. Be happy with it.
There are some ppl modding in fs17/15 who only edit mods, make nice edits, show pics of them and get angry when ppl ask if they get released. Its like showing kids lots of candy's but dont give them any.
I never released a mod, but i've some drawings finished. When i release my mods, everyone may edit them, im happy ppl use them so i didnt waste my time when drawing them...
We need a new attitude in my opinion. Not that of always complaining guys use your mod or upload them, but of being happy your mod IS used!
(sorry for my bad english :p)

Players continue to go these sites because they can find all the best mods in one place but they don't realize just how much these criminals are earning by stealing other peoples work and profiteering from it.

I will not give up the idea that I have a mod when I do it, maybe abandon the idea of publishing it.

130,000 Steam members signed a petition saying modders should not be given the choice to charge something for their mods. This episode proved that most gamers think mods are worthless, and a modder's time and efforts should not be rewarded.BamseTD wrote:
