@WNP78 oh sorry

@WNP78 Hi WNP78

@Englishgarden I linked the comment explaining why, not the mod itself

@WNP78 but I got it on App Store so I can't put the mod in the game

@WNP78 Oh.

@WaterFlavouredSpitfires They theoretically could. It's just not practical/worth Jundroo's time (and it's not always as simple as a one-time money trade-off; there's other legalities involved).
32 adds a good point.

They could just make their own underwater camera code, or agree to pay some cash moolah for the rights to use Gestour’s. The problem is that there’s no land underneath a lot of the water, and sinking ships just pass through what little land there is.

Gestour

@TheFlightGuySP Why can’t they contact the user then to get the rights for the mod to be added to the game???

@WaterFlavouredSpitfires
Advanced Targeting was made solely by WNP78, a Jundroo developer who added them when he joined the team in 2019.

Underwater Camera, however, was a joint-project between WNP78 and a non-developer user.

It would become a legal hassle for Jundroo to add it as a vanilla feature.

Because Advanced targeting was in the game

@TheFlightGuySP Wait why cant they add author’s mods to vanilla for some reason.

@WaterFlavouredSpitfires Doesn't matter.
The only reason Fine Tuner/Overload/other WNP78-features were able to be added is because the authors of those mods/features are Jundroo developers.

And again, legality issues wouldn't permit it anyways.

@TheFlightGuySP Well it’s optional and players can turn it off sooooo

Two problems with that:

1. They can't do that without facing legal issues, since one of the authors isn't a part of Jundroo.
2. I believe WNP78 (Jundroo developer and the other author of Underwater Camera) recently said something about the fact that the borders of the islands are visible while underwater (which looks really weird) and would classify as a "bug".
