Hi Noah...I have a few tables that I have missed emails on regarding mod/conversion requests. Any tables or artwork that I have done in the past can be freely worked one by anyone. Please add me to the list. Thanks!

"Hello everyone.
 
From my point of view, a MOD should be a major change, and not just redraw the PF and put new FX sounds. As Noah mentioned, it must be something deeper and more noticeable, that changes the perspective of the table. A: "It looks like... but it's not the same, it's different"."
 
I agree with you but...
     can i add one thing my friend?  some used photoshop to cut and past parts of other art into a new updated playfield.  and some draw everything from scratch with a reference in mind.  probably as much or more work than most code block updates!  people acting like the art part is not work let me explain.  like my tom and jerry and TMNT art and toppers.  thats all hand drawn frame by frame.  then animated in autodesk animate.  just one took me 2-3 weeks of work. and drawing.   and for the record.  I've never released anything under my name really.  always just helped and gave it to the person or team releasing it.   all love here.  Yet I was kicked and banned from many groups for standing up to exactly this!  and i've been helping this community since 2012....
   back to the subject.  the custom art and design is. just as hard as the "coding". and i can the complications in both.
 
Mod are just what they say.  a modification of someone else's work.  I have tables with art that would very much impress allot of people.  but i have never released them as i just haven't had time to track everything down for release.  but i will soon as i finish the project Im almost done with for this community. Hopefully my new project thats coming helps to clear thing up on who's who and who did what where.

Ok that makes sense sort of. But just about every original started with something else, so its a sketchy line.

that is exactly right.  unless they use orbital framework which houses no-one's code but Scotty Wicks.  yet all Scottys table say>>>enjoy free to mod, just credit. lol

Terry's and Jp's and many other say, credit.  but some are now screaming ownership over pasting fozzy flipps and fleeps sounds into the table.  adjust in the editor and calling it theirs.  thats where the problem lies.

I thank you all for standing up top this.
