Credits Discussion

[Bully@Wiiplaza]

1.) Let´s say, I made a code and released.
Then someone else re-makes it/ports it, but the code has like 1 different address, while the other two exactly match (according to how addresses are arranged after porting) How would credits look like?
In this example, the person didn´t give any credit hints.

2.) If someone makes a one-lined RAM Write code, but someone else finds a good hook address (1 liner also) and releases it as his.

3.) OR if someone uses specific codestypes to hide certain address to do something like this (many people don´t know what that means):

Code Select Expand

lis r12, 0x8012
lis r11, 0x0001
ori r12, r12, 0x6785
addi r12, 0x5D12 (r12)
stw r11, 0x500 (r12)

Or maybe also adds some fake writes for confusing purpoises.

This has happened many times in the cod triligoy specifically, due to online patches and everyone wanting the fame and glory of being wifi coders.  I am also curios as to peoples view on this.  It sounds ethically correct to atleast have an annotation as to who the original creator was in the bottom of the code, I.e.

-code-
*Thanks to Koala for finding the original address

Or,

However, your ram/asm point made me think... but what happens if a no gun recoil code was made by me, using a hooked address in c0/c2, but you released before I did in a ram write with the same addy... is it ethical for me to release mine as it was with my own credits?  Good thoughts... good thoughts...

If I use anyone else's codes in even the most trivial way, I leave a note thanking the original hacker for the help.

One example is a code by hawkeye for Tales of Symphonia.  When you begin a fight, the screen "cracks".  The color of the cracks determine whether you were surprised, the enemy was surprised, or neither.  hawkeye's code merely changed the color of the cracks, nothing more.  I then took the cracks code and made an "always surprise enemies" code.

But I suppose when you're dealing with "hackers" who don't care about ruining other people's online gaming experience, you should expect that they won't care about stealing codes either.

... you should expect that they won't care about stealing codes either.

That´s probably the point... quite damn.
It almost never happens on offline stuff, though lol.

Cool quote btw.
It fits to this thread ;D

:o Now you might see why hackers are so stern about getting credit for their codes.  These can take several hours of trial and error, and that's if your lucky!

Obviously different people would have different feelings about this... If I were the one making that code, I'd actually prefer to remain anonymous and not have my name attached to anything at all. But I guess in some situations abiding by the golden rule of "do unto others as you would have them do to you" probably isn't such a great idea...

I make codes and choose not to release them if there game-ruining I probably not release it. If its non game-ruining I may release it. Depending if its like a money hack ill release that.;)

Who cares? You don´t even know the basics and this doesn´t fit to the thread.
Please stay out with your codeleakers style spam. :rolleyes:

And there goes my respect for bully@wiiplaza everybody!  Id like to point out not everyone at codeleakers is a spammer, and whyre you such a dick?  :rolleyes:

On topic: it seems your not the best as giving credit where its needed, either, bully.

However, I do believe that if the circumstances permit, you should atleast contact the original maker and let them know that you are building onto the code.  I suppose it isn't necessary, but it'd still be nice imo. 

But then again, what happens if you make a code that already exists, and releases it after its already been released?  Do you get credit?  Do the original releasers get credit?

I dunno about that. Bully accused codeleakers were spammers and here you are doing just that.

[Bully@Wiiplaza]

I justed noted that this codeleakers guy keeps spamming everywhere, I felt free to tell about it so that it is taken care of finally.
Is that a bad thing? I try to keep everything clean and I´m accused by trolls for that... great. :rolleyes:

And about the credits, I always give them properly. I mostly made all the codes long ago that´s why I get full credit for my personal work.
People were stealing from me and not the other way round. It happens that they find different addresses that also work, you should better learn how to analyse codes and figure if it´s a rip off or not. When I do rip stuff, I put credit.

I´m so sick about people claming random shit, where´s the damn proof? Typical for codeleakers.
Become better coders so that you aren´t in need of flaming others because you´re too bad to achieve anything, thx.
You all use my codes. How come that nobody else accuses me for stealing except for you leaker guys? Isn´t there something wrong with it then?

because you are in your rights ;)
i think they should just just shut their mouth when they don't know shit about the subject.
