Diana Prince

The trouble is the Beta was left open for so long that alot of players have been playing that. This new Update is just making the Beta Official, so no nothing new from that.
From the Hype from the Dev Team it sounded as if there was alot more new content. Im sure they worked hard and are proud of what they have done.
For example, you cant release a New song unofficially for months and months and then expect everyone to be excited about it when they have already listened to it dozens of times already. Just doesnt work like that.
I guess the blame can mostly be put on players for imagining more new content other than what was in tha Beta, poses etc, all these animations that are being shown on official discord Server, people are wanting that material and thought it was going to be part of this Update. Wrong.
Now to fix all the new bugs i guess, any old ones on the list like i read in a Dev post? 
Maybe the Dev Team get some Negative criticism becuase of the years and years and years of bugs they refuse to fix. Add to that maybe new ones we will keep. 
Getting praise for hard work is always nice and what most people want but also taking negative comments when they are factual and warranted, without being personal attacks are part of being a business. Threatening customers for having a veiw on an Update and then making it to be personal attacks is not on. Track records play a large part in peoples opinions and 3DX Track record for fixing bugs is, well, obvious.
Congratz on the work done and to the Dev Team, for what it is its a great addition to the Game, people expect alot because the believe you can all do it...Bug fixes please.....these words seem to mean nothing though..sigh.
Have soopa funs peeps and try to enjoy your vapes and chips

It runs okayish an my MS Surface tablet that I use when I travel.

3DXC is a Windows game. Like there are PS and XBox exclusive games.

About the copyright: I'm not sure, I'm no legal expert, but I would see it like MS Word and Word files.
The texts I write with Word don't belong to Microsoft. So, do the rooms I create with 3DXC belong to SGD? I don't think so, they are just plain json (text) files. You can create a world file with Inkscape and Niblette's Naughty Designer, without having used 3DXC. Why should this world file belong to SGD?

Lol. In your list is one person who is using a tool and a other did use an club of a friend and did open it if it is her work. That is quality? You guys are talking here without beeing inside this issue...
It is interesting to see how people use this topic! And I did not talk about the free-rooms. It can be how its. I was just asking for a function to protect designs from people you did mention

I understand this point of view, and it's indeed a whole other subject. Having said that, for people like me, who systematically create from scratch without ever downloading or take a model from anything, the problem is that what we create has no possibility of protection in the context of sharing. We could quite legitimately sell our work (as a kind of compensation?) without fearing the slightest worry in terms of copyright, but this problem of control over our creations arises upstream and has not been resolved. For my part, for example, I've simply chosen to archive photos and videos, and to create public events on the game, in order to retain control over my creations and still share a minimum of my work. But it's a bit frustrating in a way, because I'd love other people to benefit from my work as a host.

I don't know how many of us there are. From my point of view, what is certain is that offering players control over their creations, whatever their skill level, would boost sharing and the desire to create from a blank page. I systematically encourage people to do this, once they've got past the room tinkering stage, which is a perfect initiation. But it's true that it's not a natural tendency for many people, I realize that. I still hope that something will be done in the future to offer players the possibility of being authors, and not just craftsmen, with all the virtuous mechanisms that entails (no more dramas about the authorship of a room, more original creations, more recognition for each other's work...) That would be great ! 😌

I am asking for an option. An option to choose when I do share a room that the room is protect or not. The magic about the editor with all the function is to share! I was talking with a lot of builders before and they all did agree because it would be an option. That’s why I did start this topic. 🤨

Let tell you a story, a story about me and a friend. So one day I'm surfing through all the wonderful worlds and I come across the most beautiful place, a world that clearly took many months (if not years) to make that I was overwhelmed by its sheer beauty. This wasn't a room made for a "Cold Fuck Room" it was art. So I think to myself, yeah, I can do something similar maybe not everything or as good but something that I can make and call it mine. So I go searching through Google finding all the ideas and pictures I need to start my new project and get right to work... one hour turns in two, then another and then a day and a week... and finally after over a month I'm finished.  I'm so very proud of myself that I even tried, that I stayed focused and never changed the goal that I set out to create. And this is were it all goes downhill.
I'm of course excited and I want to show everyone, and well... so I did. Some loved it and some clearly not as much but I was happy that my project was seen and that's all I cared about at the time. Then one of my friends asks, could I have the file? Now I'm kind of private and almost ever show my work so I thought, sure why not, thinking they would use the work as is. The next time I'm on this friend ask me to come look at all the 'changes' that they made for me and I'm thinking... "Oh no, changes?" but hey, maybe all they did was downloaded a few objects and inserted them into the room.. okay, I'm not super happy but I can deal with it. I mean, something I spent more then month on was changed in less then a day...  keep a open mind Bella I think, stop worrying it'll be fine and I'm invited to take a look... and I'm immediately heart broken. They had ripped off walls, changed colors throughout the room, downloaded a sex dungeon and bunch of other rooms stitching them in the most horrific way.. worse yet it had nothing to do with what vibes I was trying to create and mentally I was devastated. This wasn't what I wanted people to see, not in anyway would I make something that looked so terrible but there I am staring at my masterpiece torn apart in a day and looking nothing like the way I wanted it. I was beyond upset but hey, I shared it and that was the risks I took trusting anyone at all... call me stupid for ever thinking to be kind enough to share.
After having the experience that I did I would love to have the ability to lock the room and then share it so someone other then myself can show it off but are not able to modified it whatsoever. Then as updates roll out I can add them in and make new revisions but in the way I want them or maybe even through suggestions. This might even make me want to share more, maybe all my work if the in the future we had the ability to lock it down completely. If you ask me I'm a firm yes but give me this option Gizmo. It's all some of the members are asking for. Thanks from your friend, BellaGirl

I didn't state that that is how it is, I stated my opinion. I could care less of what becomes of this anyway, and I stand by my opinion. Because I can see this is one of those conversations that go around in circles, and nothing happens any different in the end.  But you all do have valid points, but I believe this is one of those things that will not make everyone happy in the end. "You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time".

It seems to me that we're missing out on the real issues linked to the question of a dual file-sharing mode.
Imagine a customer in a bakery, who would like to order chocolate pastries... But the bakery doesn't use chocolate. His arguments are "we've already got enough to do with pastries without chocolate", or "you just don't eat chocolate, what's the problem?" or "we don't have enough customers asking for it" or "why do you want chocolate? You only think of yourselves !"
The problem is, if we were to take a poll, the majority of players would opt for chocolate pastries as well. Simply because they wouldn't be losing anything, but gaining something - an extra choice. Because the game doesn't have a minority of builders, but a vast majority. It's not a question of judging the vanity of so-and-so, and let's beware of judging everyone's motivations, at the risk of falling into moralizing, which always avoids getting to the heart of the matter. Instead, let's ask ourselves what the creation of a dual file-sharing mode would or would not bring to the community. Nothing more, nothing less ! And our developers will calmly assess the situation, taking their time. There's no need to put ourselves in their shoes - that's not our role, and they don't need lawyers either. Our role is to bring up ideas. If these ideas appeal to them, so much the better; if they don't, it's no big deal.
For the moment, things seem set to remain unchanged, but this kind of decision can't be made in a hurry anyway. The message seems to have got through, that's the main thing, and we'll adapt anyway 🤗
 

It is and I honestly do think 3dxChat should be more flexible for people who contribute 

But if I WANT to share it, but don't want it to be edited? How would you do this then?
I grouped everything, so it's more difficult to change stuff. But it's no protection.
Is a non-editable room really such a bad thing? Then all the dramas about who's creation it is would vanish. In my opinion, we would gain more than lose. It's always better to have an option than to have none.

You rock! I've lost my color palette a few times over the years, and always wondered where they were stored! Thank you!

In fact there is always 2 kinds of "stealing" in game among the builders: either just steal parts/whole room and claim as their own, or steal the idea and technique from others. But the difference is stealing(or maybe "learned/inspired")the idea and skills is doing far-less damage than just steal the whole thing and claim it: because this also need the skills—— let's admit: builders are all copying and learning either from each others or from the internet and everyone is okay with that. I'm okay if someone copying my idea or use my techniques to build their own things, or actually I'm happy to see that! but nobody will love the room they worked 3 months on it became some "cold no chat"fuck room, or just some talentless(more like lazyness) folk's show off.
Adding a code feature to the room, or simply a " non-editable" feature will surely save a lotta time working on anti-copying objects, but mostly like the official's attitude of "we don't like your stealing, either getting good, or getting some template rooms that uploaded by others, and admit it." It's not a hard work, but it surely could help most of the builders to protect their shares around friends... at least we don't have to save our most precious works and never showing to public

@Torax:
 
I agree. When I talk about increasing creativity, I'm not talking about quality but quantity: in other words, encouraging players to create, globally, with the means and experience they have. To make the effort to go the extra mile, shall we say, with all the pitfalls that entails, but which are always rewarding in the end. I'm sensitive to this aspect of things, but I recognize that it's probably secondary. In any case, to answer your question, with the possibility of sharing my rooms via read-only files, I would probably have shared them all without exception for free, and for a long time. Instead, I keep them on my computer and open them between 2 and 4 times each to bring them to life and share them at least for the duration of an event. I've often been offered money to acquire them, but I've always refused, and my close circle of friends also advise me against accepting. That's why I reacted to this subject.
I'd also be curious to hear from other creators. I think whatever choice everyone makes will be the right one (selling, sharing for free or abstaining), but from my point of view a tool to save read-only files might have a real impact on the game. While some clubs would undoubtedly remain exclusive, we could, on the other hand, see the reappearance of many "forgotten" chill/sex-rooms or discover more new rooms... At this moment I am not sure either, but this question is very interesting.

3DX needs Builders, they are content creators which is an asset for the Devs.
Like Gizmo said, Players who are not professional builders like to Download other Players Creations that they share freely by enlarge and give these Players the creative freedom to modify the downloaded room. I dont know how many "professional builders" are actually "professional", they may seem it but you only become proficient at anything through hours and hours of doing it.
"Proffesional Builders" aside, 3DX has a large reliance on this "Freeware" created by Players for other Players to be able to use and modify. This is a selling point of 3DX, it has been from 1.0, to be able to moves furniture around in your Default room, add items etc.
Now with the Builder, this feature has only become more prominent as a way to provide all Players with New content on a regular basis and satisfy the Games Player Base with readily available Free content that can be personalized by basically anyone with only a little skill.
The Devs will not dam this free flowing river as it basically has ended their role in providing rooms/locations and now is primarily on the Player Base to create this content.
Gizmos question is, why are Builders so afraid to share their rooms. I dont think "afraid" is the word, hundreds of roomsobjects are freely shared already. Those people who dont share their creations, firstly have every right not to and secondly might only share to a friend or two. they might also have different reasons for building rooms/objects. Creative people just create, its the way they are.
Some want passwords to protect their rooms from being edited. A reasonable request, but I think Gizmo is exaggerating his projected future of a password protection option leading to the majority of rooms being uneditable. Maybe a fear, for obvious reasons as stated earlier but the current climate is that most Builders want to share and do share free of charge.
It seems like most Builders prime reason for Building is to share, to show their work so I dont think this would change much at all.
Seriousley, I doubt a password Protection System will be added, I also doubt a read only file scenario will be added also because the Devs need the Free content and forfill part of the Games features, that of being able, at any level of proficiency, to modify a Room in the Builder and make this available to everyone. This is fair and really cant be argued against.
If this is stated over and over for being the reason against Password Protection on Created Rooms then there is really nothing that can be argued against.
Builders who are actually in favour of some level of Room Protection from Editing I would say are a small Group. I would also say that these "Builders" spend most of their Game time in the Builder building. You would have to enjoy it to spend that amount of time creating. Time is the currency here.
The more detailed a room the more Time went into it, once spent time is gone forever.
Compare that to a Downloader, who has all that time of the Creator entwined into the room they just Downloaded, and in an hour or two they can modify it, share it, pass it off as their own, take credit for, the list goes on.
Personally im for tha abilty to create a read only file and have the "choice" how I would release my content.
The "Fear" as Gizmo put it, well the Fear is not having the Choice.
I think we should all have the Choice.
Finally on this looong ass post, Gizmo is the Dev and he will make decisions based on satisfying the most Players to keep the base at a particualr size and keep the profits coming in. Its a business, most of us get that, but he has the decisions to make and every one has an affect on Players and mood of the Game.
In the End if you really dont want your rooms messed with then DO NOT share them, its simple.....with that said I wonder how many "Professional Builders" as Gizmo put it, would inject their Rooms into the Game that do not. Would the game be better having these Builders share even though Players might have to deal with them being uneditable. Would Players be angry they cant Edit such rooms..I dont know, just a thought.
Anyhoots have soopa funs

that's creepy, lol. Never seen it before!
Is that maybe the Mount Chiliad of 3DXC? 😉   Thy mystery might reveal when you set the sky to nighttime one day before the update...

So, it's his Pet Semetary? 😜

Cause other people do use free rooms for profit. This are just two examples:
5 years ago I shared a tiny design of an chapel-church as free download. Someone did download it.. did delete everything inside and is offering this church now as download and his work I did desing a hotel room. It was used in a video at youtube to get attention and clicks. They original room was edited for the video needs. There was no comment about that I did design it..  

Maybe I want to give the room I worked on for many months to someone else, but I want them NOT to change it. I can put a logo somewhere in the room with "Built by Diana Prince".
If I had now the possibility to save it as an world file that can NOT be loaded into the editor again (only open it as a public room), that would save a lot of discussions.
So why not have the function to save as an editable file or non-editable file? And you only share the version you are comfortable with.
*.world files would be the same as always.
*.worldX files would not be loadable into the editor and are encrypted, like the avatar files. Not plain readable text files.
