You are being needlessly hostile and going on a pointless “rampage” saying that we don’t have copyright over what we make (when, we do) and putting permissions in quotes as if they don’t exist.
You did not get “wickedness” when you released your 2nd mod, you did what I had already told you was wrong with your first mod (not using patches which makes your mod completely incompatible with others that edit the camera depending on deploy order, thus creating the exact same issue you yourself sought out to remove). Your mod zip was also invalid, which we pointed out, twice after you tried to fix it once. You got given constructive criticism as to why your instructions were dangerous and should not have been recommended in the first place and why not using a patch was bad. It might not have been in the best of tones (regarding me), but that’s after you soured relations by not apologising and instead trying to make me change my mind.
You never apologised either of us for STEALING our mods, which you cannot deny is what you did. It doesn’t matter if “it is your first mod” or “I just made a mistake”. As when you make a mistake, it’s common human decency to apologise for making said mistake, and try to do better next time. You don’t go on a quest to get the people to change their minds by borderline manipulating and insulting them multiple times. Which can be seen in the Discord screenshots you yourself posted.
As multiple people have pointed out (even in the Discord screenshots you posted), your conduct and attitude to this entire fiasco has been utterly unacceptable.
Dubai without the thick bottom cloud layer. Only looks alright from this one specific angle, the rest is just black abyss
Trying to do a ‘simple’ ToD conversion to midday for the sake of a variant

As i explained before, it was my first mod and i was learning how it works.
If i knew that it should require permissions before doing so, i would’ve done it without any hesitation.
All i wanted was to test how HITMAN modding works, and trying to improve already existing mods was an ideal way of getting started into modding.
However i didn’t know the protocol and i tried to ask you nicely about permissions then, but i only received hate and condescending.
I’m a content creator so be sure that i’m very worried about rights and everything related. I just didn’t know that modding required additional permissions before being allowed to do anything.
Instead of explaining me the process, you just accused me of stealing and acted like assholes. That’s not the best thing to do, especially when i tried my best to explain you that it was a mistake, and that’s why i didn’t apologize for this. I expected much better behaviour from talented people being able to release such mods.
I don’t want to steal you stuff, manipulate you, or say that it was mine. I just want to learn how to mod in HITMAN and trying to do stuff and things, and i started with the camera mod.
The lesson is learned now, and we can move on onto better and more interesting things hopefully. Please do not escalate the situation anymore, as everything that needed to be said had been said and the situation is clear now.
Project is still alive, just slow going
Slowly removing features I intended to have upon release (Even more than last update) just so it can get done. Main things left to do are NPC stuff, Outfit stuff (Nude variants mainly, though could make more outfit variations in general so you don’t see the same person three times on the map), minor NPC scripting, disguise zone stuff, last bit of furnishings and associated pathfinding/covers etc. Then need to see about making the spawn/s have proper intros and not just insta spawn you, then I should probably put in an agencypickup or something, then yadda yadda yadda.
No ETA because things keep popping up, priorities in life change. Would be nice if it was done in the next two months but we thought we were gonna have it done in April lel
Once the mod is released I’ll be hoping to do a Freelancer variant of it that will be playable via Isle of Sgail’s slot. That will probably be more interesting and replayable than specifically The Pen and The Sword
I’ve updated three of my mods that hadn’t received updates for a while:
Starting Suits Ultimate now no longer crashes on Miami and Mendoza, Offline Unlocks now supports the Ornamental and Ancestral sets from Freelancer, and Versatile Syringes has been updated to a newer QuickEntity version.
I do remember that You mentioned in the past that You’ll add an option to choose Hantu Port to share a slot with any HITMAN 2 map of choice.
Was the idea scrapped or will it simply be a default option with others reserved to variant picker?
That was before I remembered each version would need its own file anyway. Not hard to make 7 files for Hantu but just extra time and effort, and any map that shares a slot with Hantu will have no Alerted mode bricks, as if I kept Sgail’s hard brick on it would load all of Sgail when Hantu is alerted, and crash the game. So I’d have to disable all hard bricks on all H2 maps just on the chance that a player might pick Hantu for one of them.
Will look at other options in the future but for release version it makes more sense to just pick a map and commit and see how it goes.
In Offline ETA, some objective items, can movement in another place, or someone in the vicinity of the target can have one…
Nice
I will glad to see Chongqing in the future with asian faces and not white and black men
