Hey guys, could someone please update CCGPU? We arn't looking for new features or anything, just the ability too use it in 1.2.5, and even then, 1.3 is coming around soon. This is a great, extremely useful peripheral, and we need it. Someone, please, update it.

Well, you can't. You must have permission from the mod creator (Mast3rPlan), cause he didn't release the source.

Of course there's ways to decompile the code, but that doesn't mean you have permission.
He has been inactive for two months, not sure if he'll reply.
You could rewrite the mod, using his code as a guide (not copying it).

He also said he made some bugfixes, so you must have the new source code (and permission) to update it.

This problem wouldn't have existed if people released their source code. It's not like they have any major financial benefit from keeping it closed source, so I cannot understand why they keep it closed source. Many mod developers are also smart enough to compile the package in debug mode, meaning that you are able to almost fully decompile a working source code. It just needs to be cross referenced with the Fields and method values of MCP and some manual labour later the source code is in your hand, i.e. the argument of protecting the source as a means to stop copying and passing off the code as your own - is invalid. It is infact easier to protect your code under open source, if you put it out on Github people can see the date you commited the source code and uploaded it. CCGPU havn't received any 1.2.5 update, and 1.3 is comming along shortly as well…bah.

I already updated this. Although supporting 1.3 is going to be a nightmare considering it is not SMP.
