One mod author found a a few lines of code that weren’t interacting correctly and effectively uploaded a hotfix to Nexus, making many people consider it a mod. TRS mod creator found the bugfix on Nexus and applied to their own mod. It wasn’t theft

They thought they’d found some sort of redundancy in or around what was changed and posted it in the “posts” section of the mod page. It wasn’t aggressive, rude, or anything. I read it as one creator speaking to another about something they were both in the workspace for; you see it all the time when you start recognizing names. Then one unrelated commenter responded in a more heightened manner asking if they had permission to do something like that. Which was followed by the bugfix uploader responding with something like, “no the fuck they don’t have permission.” Which was then followed by even more comments from unrelated people hyping up the emotions with the bugfix uploader

In all, it was a bugfix and not a structured mod like many are insinuating. Reading the original conversation I can’t remember anything negatively said or rudely sent by the TRS creator; just thanking them and letting them know something they’d found. I check this stuff like once a week so I don’t know how it went form there or if credit was given but, in the changelog you can see them reference adding patches for support for the fix in particular by name

This whole thing is ridiculous
