Better Than Wolves Forum

And now seems look a good time to call it wraps on this last day :)

Thank you all for your kind words today. It means a great deal to me to be able to leave with such affection.

Goodbyes are hard. Have a song instead.

Thank you so much guys.

I never felt very comfortable saying too much about the donations in the past, as I was always worried about it influencing my creative direction if I focused on the monetary aspect too much. But suffice it to say your generosity over the years has had a huge impact on my ...

I will see what I can find for old releases of mcp for 1.5.2 and see if I can get a matching version. If not I can certainly fix the errors myself given a little time.


I was just trying to find some version info within mcp. Best I could come up with was 7.51, although I don't think that covers ...

Is the reverse patch a big deal or just a matter of setting a flag to apply it in the correct order?

I suspect the errors may be a result of the version of mcp being used to decompile the source being different. I didn't update mcp since one of the first 1.5.2 releases in order to avoid dealing ...

With today being the 10th anniversary of the first release of Better Than Wolves, and with the release of the source code, I feel it is a good time for me to say goodbye to the mod and its fans.

It's been a wild ride this last decade with plenty of highs and lows along the way, but it's clear to me ...

Please keep things civil with other creators here, regardless of whatever your grievances with them are.

Moved to tech support as it's exceedingly unlikely this is a mod bug.

Nothing personal at all yany. I am extremely cautious about running other people's code and get nervous when anyone I don't know distributes through the mod channels. Glad to hear others here know you and are confident in it :)

Anyone willing to vouch for yany here? New unknown members posting code makes me very nervous.

People posting on this forum are expected to follow the following simple rules:

1) Be polite. This forum is intended as a place for civilized discussion about the mod. Please be respectful of other forum participants.
2) No politics. The rest of the internet is available for this kind of discussion ...

Never got around to creating an account even when it was available since I've seen plenty of people get banned for pretty harmless stuff


Passive aggressively complaining about the forums by way of joining the forums is not exactly getting things off to a good start. Please keep in mind the ...

Thanks man! That's very cool of you to say :)

EDIT: I would like to say that I am very excited by the prospect of forum registration opening back up. The discord has been a fantastic landing pad for meeting new players and teaching the game, but discussion goes off topic often. I still yearn for a more organized place that is 100% BTW all the ...

Reading into the comments surrounding these announcement posts it would indeed seem that they were causing game breaking bugs. If you would like to add the remaining, missing links (only those which were immediately patched) I can add them to the table but honestly I don't think it's required as ...

Clicking through all the links to find broken links and I noticed that versions 2.70 onward (save for the most current and A9PustulesLancingb) are all still set to private. I wonder if your bulk change only worked for a single page of files on MediaFire?

You're right. The Mediafire interface is ...

I was wondering if it might be possible to get previous versions of the mod now that your outlook has changed. I'd love to be able to play some of the older versions that weren't as hardcore or survival intensive.


Nm my previous, as I figured out a way to do a bulk select for permissions within ...

Yeah, I was considering that. It's more just mindlessly clicking the interface ...

Everyone is free to make add-ons for Better Than Wolves as they see fit, and post them here, as long as they do not contain malicious code or otherwise violate the forum rules (not overtly trolly, etc.).

Better Than Wolves and its source code are made freely available under the creative commons ...

This thread is no longer relevant as BTW has moved to a new form of licensing. Please consult the stickied thread in this subforum for the current license and rules governing add-on development.

Not to get all up in your business but based on what I think you're trying to accomplish might I suggest the MIT license for the source code? Short, simple, extremely permissive, compatible with other open source licenses and requires attribution.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_License ...

WRT to creative commons. I'm assuming you already read and considered https://creativecommons.org/faq/#can-i-apply-a-creative-commons-license-to-software ?


Ah, fair enough. I was not aware of those, because yes, I also do want this to apply to the source code. I'll read that over later on, but ...

Sorry for the delay in posting the updated add-on rules. I was trying to figure out an overall license for the mod that would accommodate both add-on development and other uses as well.

I've decided to go with Creative Commons Attribution, which can be found here:

https://creativecommons.org ...

Given this was something that was frowned upon in the past, I just wanted to put out this request for anyone that figures out solutions to the remaining bugs in the mod reported here, to please feel free to share them in the related threads.

Please don't get involved in these kinds of discussions ...

Thank you everyone. I really do appreciate all the kind messages. It makes this a much easier process to move forward on.

What I think i would like to do at this point is start tackling the items on my list one by one, perhaps one per day until we get this all sorted out. I have other things going ...
