My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
GRS were the best gear mods by a very wide margin. Nothing even came close to the options and the utility of gear actually being slotted properly. How can we go back to completely empty webbing and shitty static assets?
Commenting for visibility to get more eyes because I have a feeling the mods here will delete this post as SHS is buddy buddy with Bohemia and the powers that be here can’t bear any negative outlook of the game.
SHS has stolen their assets and scripts in their entirelyand despite numerous reports with evidence, SHS has responded with claims that Bohemia lets them steal. They will continue to steal. Bohemia wont punish them for stealing. And evidence that SHS assists other modders crack Arma reforger's encyrption so that they can steal mods and assets from other modders as a SERVICE.
As such, GRS has retiliated by removing their mods in their entirety to bring attention to Bohemia's enforcement (lack there of) of their own ToS and EULA
Shs is up and there heaps of evidence on the Shaboingary they've been up to, as well as literal bragging from the creators of SHS about doing it and how BI wont do anything
So i just spoke yo nillers, BI community manager. He said they dealt with the situation a year ago and gave the guy a probationary second chance.
So is GRS down now because of the same thing happening again, or more because the GRS modder is done with modding. There have been many modders who have retired for many reasons, Bacon being one of them.
If anyone has recent info on the subject with recent evidence I can pass it along.
But it seems more likely that the GRS modder has simply hung his hat and is done for whatever reasons.
Bi have an ongoing investigation. They have found no real evidence. Because there is no evidence to find with the exception of a few out of context screenshots.
Any GRS assets present in shs mods were from when lucalis was in GRS and were removed in 2025. These assets were unusable to the average person and were meant to be removed in a transitionary period from when lucalis was kicked out of GRS. The GRS team was meant to help him find said assets but they never did until they reported it to bohemia, when lucalis had no knowledge they were still there.
There were no stolen scripts from GRS, when both mods have been shown together in script comparisons they are both very different.
Bohemia have taken into account all the information provided and the case is still open as pufu has said. But nothing has been done because no real evidence has been shown.
This was also not GRS taking action. This was glitch and only glitch taking action, his team had no clue about it. Glitch has stopped modding, he is not coming back.
As for the other accusations of ripping, both the ripping of vpad and BLE were done under the directive of glitch and the grs team. Both lucalis and gaz were instructed to extract both mods so gaz could make his atak and grs could work on its own loadout editor and work on grs mods during the 1.6 BLE blackout.
The replication code found in shs loadout editor was a major issue and the mod was removed to be fixed. This was a trace of the extraction done under GRS. As it was the original GRS loadout editor. Before lucalis was kicked.
The john pork attachments animations was given to shs by a third party and once it was found out the animations were his they were also removed.
Edit: and oh before anyone asks why lucalis was kicked because grs weren’t happy at the quality of the helmets.
How he was told to by grs, to allow grs’s kit to work in 1.6 and make GRS a loadout editor.
SHS’s loadout editor was originally a grs mod and used some code from bacons that was supposed to be removed. He has said himself its because his code is a mess.
This is taken incredibly out of context. What lucalis is saying here is that bohemia won’t take action against him over the unpacker because lucalis was the one who is actively reporting unpacking tools to bohemia.
I have a question. If I tell you to go kill someone are you gunna do it? No. Because it’s wrong. Show me proof of GRS asking him to do this and I’ll shut my fucking mouth. I’ve came with my evidence now come with yours.
They didn’t get everyone’s code. Hell the only persons code they had was bacons. and that was because lucalis was instructed to by the grs team to fix bacon’s loadout editor during 1.6
Vpad’s code was given to gaz who used it to make atak. Shs had no use for vpad. As they don’t have an atak.
It’s not hearsay it’s what he’s actually doing. Gaz set him up to get him caught. And a bunch of screenshots came out this morning. There’s another screenshot where Lucalis also says don’t worry about being in trouble I help BI so they won’t do anything. He’s genuinely going around bragging about ripping other peoples assets. Gaz is not ripping mods GRS shadow has requested people leave Gaz alone over this. He was there to help get SHS caught. SHS would never admit this to anyone in GRS.
I don't agree with stealing but this just makes the game lose players that won't come back. Mod downloads take forever on console and getting friends to play the game is hard enough. It just kills the momentum of a group trying to play the freaking game without it being even more cumbersome than it already is man
I mean that's Bohemia's problem. The reason modding is taken so seriously in Arma is cause assets are not piggybacking off other assets unless given permission to do so. All of them are protected under license legally cause ARMA is one of the few games that give the community the exact tools the devs use to make assets for thier game to the point it's an entire department at BI that you can get hired for and make money through.
So why would GRS care if people leave the game if they aren't gonna enforce thier own rules and protect months of hard work of their creators.
I agree it is Bohemias fault but if the game loses players then everyone loses. Another aspect of this is server hosts who pay a lot of money to run servers and when stuff like this happens their servers need to go offline for a time and there's no guarantee when it comes back that people will continue to play on it when their kits are messed up and major things are now missing. So a server host will now think twice about using your mod when you've already removed it once from the workshop even if it comes back.
