I think you should discuss the gtr2 conversion in a gtr2 thread. The original mod is made for Race07, and I have given some people permission to convert it "with respect for the original mod".
The super touring mod is like my artwork (there are much better mods out there, but this one is what I care about). It's impossible to count all the hours put in this mod. There are +20 different cars that has been modelled, mapped and painted. It has taken a very long time to do. I have had some very good and useful help too. Some of the interiors have been replaced by more detailed ones made by qwerty24. These are very good, and have improved the experience a lot. I have also had some help from others, and they deserve credit for that, and they are in the ReadMe.
If you had made a painting or a sculpture I guess you would not want anyone else to make changes to it and then present it as their work.
Replacing things in the mod was never my idea when allowing conversions, but I have to respect the decisions of the converters. I respect it but don't like it. After all, the mod I have made is like a conversion of the real cars, liveries and drivers into the game, and maybe one of the livery artists doesn't like that (I wish I knew who they are).
This is not to accuse anyone of anything. Most of the converters have asked for permission.
But I have had some experiences when people use my models as their own or change something and then call it their own. This was very much the case with the rfactor conversion and some conversions of the v8 s60, where people who have never spoken to me or asked for permission changed a lot and didn't even tell were the models were taken from. This is so frustrating.
I don't know if this makes sence to anyone, but:
tips about conversions are welcome here, but please discuss the conversions to other games in their threads.
