Just looked at his profile, offline a week. 

 

Will you ever re-upload your files that were on GMC anywhere? I really liked the Magnum, the Durastar, the Explorer, the Caprice that you made. And I really would like them. 

Instead of creating a thread for the question: Will you ever upload more mods KevinDV? Try sending him a PM or something. Regarding if you would like to download any of his modifications good luck with that. I believe he is strictly against people re-uploading his mods without permission.

This is just my speculation but I'm assuming he's gone, possibly until GTA V PC or maybe for good. He hasn't uploaded anything here in ages and all of his recent posts/uploads have been to GTA Modding Chest which is no longer online due to DDoS attacks. There is more but its not necessary to get into because talking about it will only stir up the pot again. Like the post above me said, you would have a better chance of getting a answer by PMing him but even that may be a long shot

I meant reupload.

No. Maybe for GTA V, but no.

You will be able to find some of his mods including some more recent projects over on his profile at http://www.gta4-mods.com/

 

What happened to gta-mc is a huge shame and those responsible should know they are personally at fault for why the GTA (police) modding community is as messed up and catty as it is.

I also considered making a topic on whether authors from GMC were going to re-upload their models somewhere. It was a shame that someone had to DDoS it, and I would see why they wouldn't want to re-upload their models somewhere else. By taking down GMC, the attacker also took down all those great mods. In a sense uploading to another site would just be like giving in and joining other communities. What I think would be the best way to redistribute the mods without uploading to other sites would be the authors giving permission for other members to share their mods with people who request them or their friends via mediafire links or something (not re-uploading to modding sites for the general public to download though). Just a thought...

Alot of them have moved over LCPDMods here recently

If I understand correctly, Kevin had a beef with some of the people on the site, things got heated, therefore, his mods were taken down. Not sure by who. So, I doubt he would upload them here.

Yeah, Kevin's files here were removed by request. At this point, you may be pretty much reduced to what you have on your hard drive.

So, no more vehicles with Whelen Edges then...      My mother was right, hell is real.

Almost everyone is gooooone EVI as well, I miss him :( he really didn't say much  but I still miss him :)

thank god I was smart enough to save the models to back up disc but I do hope that they upload some of the models there as they were pretty damn good

I'm wondering what happens if we have copies of Kevin's unlocked mods. If I have a copy of his unlocked Edge from GMC, does the permission still stand to use it in my own models?

I would assume that per the readme that comes with the file, you could still release it.

Damn straight. I was following some topics over there, refreshed a page and got the "Good Bye" message. I guess GTA-MC admin did what had to be done.

 

Cheers.

You could say I'm done, you could say that I've had enough of this childish nonsense. I will say that I'm tired of it and I'm moving on.

 

I make mods for fun as a hobby to occupy my spare time, its enjoyable and I consider it to be a creative activity. I don't make a profit from models that I create and released a substantial amount of that work unlocked. GTA-MC was not meant to compete with any websites, the goal was to have a website that is run by modders for modders that encouraged creativity and uniqueness. It was my home, I liked that website and became attached to it, I'm certainly not going to go anywhere else. I definitely won't support this site as I still have my suspicions that a staff member originating from here was involved in those attacks. As for the other sites, there's only GPM, but there's no denying that its dead site.

 

I don't mind if people were to share my mods privately, but I won't allow them to be uploaded to any website. There's also no change regarding the unlocked models which I've released, they may still be used, but not re-uploaded in a standalone condition. Any future mods which I choose to do would most likely be uploaded to GTA4-Mods.

 

With all of that being said, my obvious choice would be to leave. I'd just like to thank everyone that has supported me in the past, I wouldn't have been inspired to continue making mods if it wasn't for that support and feedback.

Kevin, the circumstances in which you've had to make those decisions are truly unfortunate. I appreciate though your integrity and perseverance to have put up with all that crap so far. It's clear you've made a huge contribution to gta vehicle modding, and I'm sure just about all of us have used parts that you've freely distributed through the community. Above all else, what you've consistently produced have been original and absolutely loaded with quality work.

 

Thank you, and thanks for being a mate too!
