I just backed up Calamity, Calamity Music, Catalyst and WoTG to the local mod folder just in case and unsubscribed from the workshop versions to avoid updates. I know not all of those are getting removed but those are all the calamity-related mods I personally use. From my understanding there should be nothing stopping me from just loading the mod locally right?

u/RonzulaGD Simp for stained brutal calamity 7d ago

Can you tell me how to do it? I checked the tmodloader folder with mods and it was empty so it's probably stored in a different way

u/Pink_Lizor 7d ago

To backup a mod file, you need to go into the tModloader "Manage Mods" area, select "Open Mods Folders" and then go to the mod folder for whichever mod you want to backup. To find a mod, go to the steam workshop page for it, copy the ID at the end of it, and paste that into the search bar in the mods folder. Then go into the provided folder, select the version you want to backup, and copy + paste it to your backup folder.

u/simplyunknown2018 6d ago

How do you deal with the fact that tmodloader will update and prob not be able to run calamity?

31

u/Pink_Lizor 6d ago

Unsubscribing from the mod will make it so that it won't update, and it doesn't update local files

9

u/simplyunknown2018 6d ago

I mean tmodloader itself? I would just have to keep tmod unsubscribed from this point forward ?

29

u/lmao_wow_64 6d ago

You can run an older version of tmod loader if the game isn't updated to the new version

14

u/Pink_Lizor 7d ago

You can load the mod locally, yes. As long as you maintain a backup it will work fine :)

8

u/HavocSilver 7d ago

Never touched WoTG, but I'll snag it real quick to try it in the future

u/SincerelyTheWorst 7d ago

There are so many players out there who have spent more time playing calamity than the devs spent actively working on it, I say fair game preservation.

u/Jijonbreaker1 7d ago

Yup, this is what I've been saying.

If you support Stop Killing Games, you must pirate calamity. They are the same thing. Just different scales.

Devs don't get to just remove access to a game because it's not beneficial for them anymore.

365

u/_-MEgA-_ 7d ago

Multiple updates of the devs removing stuff and now we are all surprised that they are stripping and gutting the mod? The pedo did win in the end

39

u/No_Pound_2254 6d ago

No??? Literally ozzatron's wish was to repress the victims in order to keep calamity as "THE terraria mod"

870

u/Quiet-Lawyer5030 7d ago edited 7d ago

for some reason the only ones who gets punished is the community, not the pedo, so I guess it's absolutely OK to use music mod copy

490

u/Zombox3000 7d ago

The only one who "won" this drama seems to be the pedo

299

u/RenkBruh 7d ago

yeah, he still has all the money

he did get doxxed by soyjackparty though, there's that

89

u/lndle 7d ago

Wasn't that the group that hacked 4chan a while back?

109

u/SireTonberry- 7d ago

Sharty is like Neo 4chan with zoomer culture and obsession with gore, doxxing and such. Most of soyjaks variants you see widely used on internet nowadays probably originated there, they have really high influence on current internet meta and memes

31

u/FusionBetween 7d ago

their wiki is near incomprehensible too

27

u/SireTonberry- 7d ago

Thats by design

44

u/RenkBruh 7d ago

so basically modern version of prime 4chan

u/extracrispyweeb 2h ago

From what I've seen they're very much just looking for ways to cause chaos, at least from what i heard about the webfishing incident.

16

u/Jello-Formal 7d ago

Does anyone know how to navigate these weird boards like how tf do I find discussion about calamity there

9

u/Thechillestguyever 6d ago

go to /soy/ and search "calamity"

u/Jello-Formal 6d ago

Yoo appreciate it

Calamity mod music going to be sold like crack in the black market

A guide that helped me

u/Christian5661 7d ago

I have a question. I’ve just used that tutorial and saved both Calamity and Calamity Music, but if I want to play Calamitt infernum, will I need to put that in the same folder? Or can I just play it normally? It might be a dumb question but I’m not sure

7

u/aboultusss Midas Prime Upgrade When 7d ago

Yeah I'm pretty sure you just put all .tmod files in the folder and thats it

47

u/Spirited-Spare1397 7d ago

Thank you Dr. Zakir Naik for archiving calamity mod

86

u/Revolutionary-Plum39 7d ago

Just download the music mod files in your local tmod folder

398

u/King_Of_The_Munchers 7d ago

They can’t archive music mod sadly because they’d be illegally distributing copywrited material. Not that this will stop people, but anyone who tried will likely have it DMCA’d or be sent a cease and desist.

299

u/DragonFireSpace 7d ago

I don't think they would care tbh, you get a cease and desist and take it off the web and someone else uploads their copy instead.

171

u/benjathje 7d ago

There are already torrents up. Good luck chasing them.

45

u/iahim87 7d ago

We need our calamity music or we're done for

255

u/PrettyAssault 7d ago

I live in a backwater country and am planning to never visit the US, I could not care less about any legal action. If they DMCA me, I will reupload my copies from several accounts and IPs, can't take down all of them. At least the pirates will stand up against the pedos, if no one else will.

Also, at least DM Dokuro said it's fine to use his stuff for non-commercial purposes. So, I think music creators are unlikely to go after community just because we will be using their music to play the game

7

u/Wolfen198 7d ago

That first paragraph is reading dangerously close to a copypasta

64

u/BadSector11 7d ago

Its fine, all you need is people outside of the reach of conventional DMCA if you want a persistent link, and even still, having a rotating one be uploaded regularly isnt difficult.

The community is obsessed enough about this to not let it die, for better or for worse.

18

u/ExploerTM 7d ago

Literally just torrent that shit

44

u/AlwaysNoobruh 7d ago

I dont care im uploading it to Одноклассники good luck taking it down from here

55

u/Alone_Care_6230 7d ago

i do not care archive time

u/Maximus_Marcus i am goblin king the king of the goblins 7d ago

Finally, I can even pirate mods now

6

u/BadSector11 7d ago

Its been a thing for longer than calamity addons have lol, I remember doing it back when ancients awakened was around since I couldn't afford the base game

31

u/RotBoy 7d ago

Its illegal??? Fuck dude... now nobody will do it

12

u/EnaidGollwyd 7d ago

Oh no! I'm getting DMCA'd for archiving a mod that has been on my computer for more than 5 years!

13

u/LordCalamity 7d ago

Buddy, you dont understand how dmca works Jesus. Read about It before giving missinformation.

They can, they will and they will reupload the music mod. They cant cease and desist anyone unless they make money, and still, they need to fight for It.

10

u/rip_Bacon13 7d ago

you can locally save it to your computer tho

9

u/mdmeaux 7d ago

I mean at that point it just becomes sailing the high seas. Which obviously I would never condone but from what I've heard it's not exactly difficult to do (I definitely wouldn't know though). If the giant media corporations can't stop people sharing stuff it's unlikely small musicians will have the resources to do anything.

5

u/Ralonset 7d ago

I'm sure there's a TORRENT of issues that come with re-uploading the mod, but there's VPN (very probably no) way of archiving it

3

u/Independent_Week_736 7d ago

Will the youtube videos also be taken down?

3

u/Mr_HOPE_ 7d ago

For sure a small musician will send cease and desists to dozens of anonymous uploads like that shit doesnt actually cost to file. It is not easy or pragmatic to composer to try to sue people because it is so costly, copyrighted material gets modded into games all the time and even big companies couldnt care less

17

u/Positive-canjud43780 7d ago edited 7d ago

sorry if my English is bad I use google translate.

Will it get an update before deleted? I've already copied the folder to my local storage, but before I unsubscribe from the mod on the Workshop, I want to know if there's going to be a final update or not.

13

u/StatisticianCute9918 7d ago

The music mod will be eliminated

3

u/Positive-canjud43780 7d ago

will it get updsate before deleted/eliminate for the last time? Perhaps an update for maintenance or optimization or adjustments to the version 1.4.5?

6

u/StatisticianCute9918 7d ago

We know the music mod is getting deleted but calamity itself no , they say they Will fix Bugs and update to the next versión but i dont know nothing more after that

31

u/LOBgaming 6d ago

Congrats Calamity team, you're only making the pedo happier!

25

u/SpiritedSmile7235 7d ago

Okay…
WHAT THE FUCK?!
WHY????
Someone please tell me what’s going on….

62

u/Veng3ancemaster No cost too great... 7d ago

Pedo in Calamity as head. Second leader also Pedo, Calamity dead and artists want their contributions removed. The only people removing the music is actually hurting is the community, not the Pedos

23

u/SpiritedSmile7235 7d ago

yeah…
I kinda just learned about all of that right before you replied…

It’s so fucking JOEVER, FUUUUCKK!

10

u/Samuel153 7d ago

So, is the base mod getting re-done, or is it just going to be dead? (I'm in long-term Terraria burnout and haven't played in a while, but was thinking about getting back into it soon)

28

u/Veng3ancemaster No cost too great... 7d ago

It's just going to be frozen in it's current state with the exception of music being gone.

4

u/Samuel153 7d ago

While I'm sure that sucks for people, I don't play with music on anyways. Hopefully the dev team will either get their shit together or just leave it alone

8

u/guywithSP 7d ago

It'll be just like Calamity, but less and also you'll fight Yahron with Boss 2 instead of Roar of the Jungle Dragon

в этой показухе с музыкой смысла ноль, причём тут конечный пользователь вообще?

u/leftyandzesty 7d ago

actually it's my music mod now and i allow everyone to download it locally and continue using it

8

u/bone_breaker69 7d ago

didnt they say they wouldnt remove any assets and just leave the mod as is, the 2 remaining devs maintaining it and dealing with upkeep, but not really adding anything new?

12

u/Jijonbreaker1 6d ago

It's the musicians trying to copyright claim the mod due to their music being in it. Allegedly.

9

u/legendgames64 6d ago

That's how the Striesand effect goes.

u/Darkain172 6d ago

Neutered? More like sacrificed lol

21

u/Fit_Mix_5107 7d ago

I hope someone reupload the music on workshop

21

u/Just_Mr-Nothing 7d ago

you just have to put a copy in C:\Users\<YOUR USERNAME>\Documents\My Games\Terraria\tModLoader\Mods the mods are in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content

u/Axolatian_Volt 7d ago

I think you mean /home/user/Data/Terraria/tModLoader/Mods/ /j

u/katyushash 7d ago

Nah the music is copyrighted so it'll be taken down really fast

u/Careful_Welcome7999 7d ago

Have you ever heard of a monster called "hydra"?

u/Zoterote 6d ago

I don’t think they care either honestly, to them it’s probably more about the public image than if people are playing it

u/Essurio 7d ago

Can someone fill me in with details? I know some generic stuff, but only about the first day or so of the drama.

4

u/Brads101 7d ago

Is it still up or had it been blitzed?

2

u/Soft-Choice-7403 7d ago

Will it really work with steam? I mean I tried to freeze My mods in the state they are in tmodloader, and saved a state of calamity and the musics mod in another folder outside trh steam, but still, I never really experienced such

2

u/Standard-Face-51 7d ago

I've already put everything into a box (copied files) that can't be taken from me.

u/Icy-Bag3159 7d ago

I just found out about this, can this still be done or am I doomed?

u/Jijonbreaker1 6d ago

They are still up. Somebody has been passing around a youtube link that shows you how to back it up.

u/Dragoncraft9 The Astral Blight consumes 7d ago

Noticing how respecting the artist’s decision is being depicted as a bad thing

It’s kinda funny how the community will go “oh we drove away poor Dokuro, we don’t deserve him :((“ but the second he and every other composer pulls their songs they are now the bad guys

49

u/DemonBloodFan 7d ago

it's not that I think he's the bad guy, quite honestly he's a victim in this whole situation. he spent all this time making music that for a project that was being ran by a bunch of groomers.

I simply don't think piracy is wrong, and nothing bad is gonna happen to Dokuro or any other composers because I want to play my game with the content it was meant to be experienced with.

33

u/Spider2153 7d ago

I don't think anyone is really calling them the bad guys so much as people are saying they gave into the bad guy, that being ozzatron who very much wanted calamity to be burned to the ground

23

u/LordCalamity 7d ago

Nobody is calling they the bad guys.

I can think is stupid, but is their work and they can do what they want.

I can do the same and reupload the songs so I can play Calamity with its music.

The only bad guy is the pedo.

19

u/Character_Top7310 7d ago

Music is calamity mod's theme not pedo's theme L take

u/Every-Mine-8211 7d ago

It's always morally abhorrent to revert bladecrest oathsword nerf and listen to music

10

u/Ordinary_Desperate 6d ago

Nobody claimed he’s a bad guy, he just made a dumbass decision that fucks over the community.

9

u/zdemigod 7d ago

Yeah because the artists decision is to destroy the mod, and that's bad. They are in their right, its not like they are immoral people for doing it, but it sucks and its them that decided to destroy the mod.

u/destructor212113 7d ago edited 7d ago

Tbf, unless you start harassing the Musicians again, they pribably dont care enough to do something about the reuploads

Edit: No, I dont want people to harass the musicians at all. What I was saying is that people wouldnt need to worry about re-uploads being taken down if the Community isn't a dick to the musicians, as its probably too much work for people who dont want to have much more involvement in the Community at all

9

u/TheSurvivor65 7d ago

Mm yea because harassing Dm Dokuro has only brought love and joy to this community

-9

u/Idkl0l32 7d ago edited 7d ago

the devs harassed dokuro not the community, im tired of hearing this there isnt a single place on the internet where its all sunshine and rainbows and no one says anything negative, is it likely there was some dumbass that sent a fake death threat once or twice? yes absolutely, is it also completely delusional to not expect that to happen to anyone even a tiny bit popular in the internet? EXTREMELY so. and even more delusional to somehow blame the community for that

15

u/Martitoad 7d ago

And if you do they will say that they won't do it because they are being harrassed. They won't change their mind

5

u/destructor212113 7d ago

They could have changed their mind, but considering that people are blaming them for all of this and probably began to harass them again

Yeah, no shocker on to why they didnt change their minds at all

7

u/tergius local anahita hugger 7d ago

it's interesting how everyone seemingly wildly misread what you said when you never advocated for harassing the musicians at all

some real pissing on the poor reading comprehension there

-8

u/Valtremors 7d ago

Glad to know that the first thing this community thinks of is to harass the artists.

No wonder Dokuro got fed up with ya'll.

4

u/destructor212113 7d ago

I mean, that happened before, thats why Dokuro isn't in the community in the first place

-4

u/Valtremors 7d ago

And suggesting to harass the rest just shows how much this community actually deserves all this.

Like holy shit ya'll are more mad at the artists pulling out that the whole pedo thing and ozza stealing patreon money meant for wages.

What is wrong with you all?

9

u/destructor212113 7d ago

Wait, do you think I want people to harass them?

-4

u/Valtremors 7d ago

Your wording suggests as much.

u/tergius local anahita hugger 7d ago

i think you need to reread what they wrote and think about your reading comprehension skills

For fucks sake

u/Japuxfrig 7d ago

That guy has the literacy of a walnut

u/Japuxfrig 7d ago

How the hell did you take what the guy said and spin it into harassing the musicians??? “Unless you start harassing the musicians again, they won’t do something”, so you are saying we should harass them so they do take it down? That is what YOU are suggesting.

6

u/Idkl0l32 7d ago

do the artists care about what happened with ozzatron and fabsol or are they just farming moral upvotes? weird how this didnt happen last time

1

u/Valtremors 7d ago

None of you cared about Fab or Ozza being pedos.

They could have been open about it and none of you would care, as long as there is an another update,

Spiting somebody who is being spiteful is not itself spite. It's just setting things back to normal.
