Why promods mods are "locked"?

[nikitasius]

Hi folks,

First of all i'd like to say thank you for great and huge job you did.

And i would like to ask you why you're locked the "promods"?

You can use classic zip store, it's fast (due we nearly all have SSDs), it's doesn't require CPU usage (classic CSC need it) and game support them ("zip store" format, even a bit compressed) very well.

Because there have been quite a few eager people who stole our assets and re-used them without permission
The HashFS files are stored uncompressed in "store" ZIP format just with a different header.

Hi, sad to hear that (in every opensource projects there are such folks).

yep, your promods are uncompressed (while original are using gzip randomly).
Guess, in-game conversion zip2csc ruins all features of "zip store" files.

on `scssoft forum` folks told that "SCS vs ZIP" are have almost same perfomance in-game <3
