Rather more troubling was the fact that a Wabbajack developer immediately took it upon themselves to break open the exe and integrate that ability into Wabbajack, which contradicts previous commitments to abide by the wishes of mod authors and not include their mods if permission is withheld.
#YOU HAVE COMMITTED CRIMES AGAINST SKYRIM INSTALL#
I find that contradictory - either exe files to install mods automatically are good or they are bad as far as I'm concerned. However, despite this people do seem to want a Wabbajack exe install.
#YOU HAVE COMMITTED CRIMES AGAINST SKYRIM MANUAL#
What we discovered is that people definitely don't want exe installs, even if they are performing manual installs. At the click of a button it installs and activates the mod - no mod manager or user input needed.

Nonetheless, the installer was designed in the days of Oblivion to make the install process bullet-proof for new users to ensure the maximum number of users can have access to the patch - and the installer still does that.
This is why the Nexus mirror of USLEEP was converted into an installer - note I said "mirror" here because Nexus is not the primary download location, really, AFK Mods is and you can find the mod there as a. So, it was decided to see if people really want exe installers, or if they want Wabbajack despite it being an installer. executable as best as possible, defeating what looked like DRM to other people.īut now we cut to today, where a member of the unofficial patch team showed up to explain what happened: In addition, Wabbajack as a response to this (and due to the USLEEP executable being made with an open source program), was updated to accommodate files packaged in an. His actions are wholly immoral and illegal since he's now advocating breaking our license terms for the sake of pushing mod packs on a community they don't fit in with.Īs one might guess, people didn't like this and the general attitude of the people who supported it, especially when one of the more prominent supporters of it showed up to defend it. If people actually cared about the community they'd be confronting him on these issues instead of finding new ways to stick it in the mod authors' eyes. Wabbajack is a vector for malware from untrusted sources. Especially when what they're pushing on the community is an order of magnitude more insecure than any single mod packaged as an auto-installer. Nobody should be supporting someone willing to go that far to achieve their agenda. He's committed piracy in doing what he's done. He's in this for his own agenda that's going to permanently damage this community at the expense of the only people who keep the community alive - its mod authors. Halgari proving he's not in this to make things easier for anyone, or that he actually respects mod authors like he claims he does. It's obvious he has no plans to actually honor the wishes of mod authors and is willing to commit piracy in order to advance his own goals.Īnd that image is precisely what this was about. In any case, I got the information I was looking for regarding Halgari's true intentions. Unfortunately I think the original annoucement post on the Nexus about it is gone but here's some choice response posts from Arthmoor, lead? of the USLEEP team about it: This was intended as a protest about Wabbajack's existence with what was said about it. Yesterday, it was updated to be installed via an executable file instead of the traditional (and mod manager friendly) method of having its files be packaged inside a compressed file.

Some mods at the time of Wabbajack's release, whether for Skyrim or another game like Fallout 4, either went private or announced that future updates would be on controlled platforms like until further notice.īut we're not here to talk about the various random mods, no, we're here to talk about a big one: the unofficial patch for the version of Skyrim released on PC in 2011. The thing is, mod lists, or other forms of simplifying install a list of mods like the traditional mod pack compilation, tends to be pretty controversial among certain members of the Skyrim modding community. Wabbajack's thing is essentially automating the task of installing a massive list of mods (whether from a guide or from a friend) as much as possible, without breaking the rules: it's designed to conform to the rules of various modding websites (such as Nexusmods) while still minimizing the number of clicks required to actually download those mods. This bit of drama involves a recent modding tool that was released, Wabbajack So this is going require a bit of background reading.
