🧩 City Bus Manager (Text Version) – Modding Policy

Overview

City Bus Manager (Text Version) supports user-created mods and DLC vehicle packs to expand gameplay.
This document outlines how mods can be created, shared, and used, as well as the responsibilities of creators and players.

1. Ownership of Mods

  • All user-generated mods remain the property of their respective creators.
  • By uploading or sharing a mod, you grant permission for others to use and modify it within the context of the game.
  • Mods do not transfer any ownership of the base game or its source code.

2. Licensing and Distribution

  • The base game is licensed under the MIT License (c) 2025 shay-coding.
  • Mods are not automatically licensed under MIT unless the creator explicitly states so.
  • You may distribute your mods freely, provided they:
    • Do not contain copyrighted or trademarked content owned by others.
    • Do not include the full game or any paid assets.
    • Clearly identify the mod’s author and version.

3. Compatibility and Liability

  • Mods are created by the community and are not officially supported or guaranteed by the developer.
  • The developer (shay-coding) assumes no responsibility for:
    • Bugs, crashes, or save corruption caused by third-party mods.
    • Loss of data or system issues resulting from user modifications.
  • Always back up your saves before installing or removing mods.

4. Content Guidelines

When creating or sharing mods, please ensure your content:

  • Does not include hateful, discriminatory, or explicit material.
  • Respects the intellectual property of other creators and companies.
  • Keeps gameplay fair and balanced for all players.

5. Reporting Issues

If a mod causes crashes or conflicts:

  • First, try running the base game without mods to confirm it’s not a core issue.
  • Report reproducible bugs in the official GitHub issues section, noting if mods were active.

6. Developer Rights

The developer reserves the right to:

  • Remove links to unsafe or infringing mods.
  • Update the base game in ways that may unintentionally break old mods.
  • Incorporate ideas or mechanics inspired by mods (without using mod assets directly).

7. Official DLC Packs

Official DLCs curated by the developer are available here:
👉 Official DLC Folder on Google Drive

These packs follow the same open JSON structure and are compatible with the modding system.

8. Summary

You are free to: ✅ Create, share, and modify mods
✅ Distribute them for free
✅ Customize your experience

You must not: ❌ Redistribute the base game or its source code as your own
❌ Use copyrighted material without permission
❌ Hold the developer liable for issues caused by mods
