One subject that seems to be coming up more, as of late, is Open Modding. STEP's stance on open modding is simply that we agree with it and support open modding efforts. We have been working on an Open Modding Agreement (OMA) which we'll eventually release for community use. The core of the OMA is Wyre's Open Modding notes, however, we've built upon it and re-worked areas that didn't mesh well for a large community. More on that in the future. | One subject that seems to be coming up more, as of late, is Open Modding. STEP's stance on open modding is simply that we agree with it and support open modding efforts.

Since we believe in open modding, all assets which are produced by STEP or for STEP are or must be released under open modding concepts. Over time several mod authors have also discussed with us about taking over their assets when they retire from modding. We will happily do this for any mod authors, but those authors must be okay with their assets being converted to | Since we believe in open modding, all assets which are produced by STEP or for STEP are or must be released under open modding concepts. Over time several mod authors have also discussed with us about taking over their assets when they retire from modding. We will happily do this for any mod authors, but those authors must be okay with their assets being converted to align them with open modding concepts, once they are within our hands and our control. We don't believe in holding back assets from the community due to personal ideals, pride, or ownership rights. Modding has always been and should always be free and open. | ||
With this said, STEP supports the entire community as a whole. Authors who do not support open modding have the right to do so and we respect their decisions. | With this said, STEP supports the entire community as a whole.
