Important notice to the Manhattan Mod Team! I finally found the time to check out this modification and came across some files that were taken from the Los Angeles Mod (by me) and the New York Modification (by MikeyPI and co).
While I'm aware that everyone can use files from the Los Angeles Mod, it doesn't mean my work can remain uncredited. That was also the only condition I had: credit me for my work (source). I tried to look for a readme in the modification and it's not there, so there is no written credit and I cannot find my nickname (Hoppah) anywhere in the modification. I would appreciate it if I am credited for any work. That includes the models that are present in the modification as well as some of the scripts that were made by me or that were based on mine.
Some examples of models that are present in the modification and made by me:

I'm aware the Los Angeles modification was used as a base to start off the Manhattan Modification and that people are free to use content from the Los Angeles Mod, but that doesn't mean my work can remain uncredited. I've still put a lot of time into the Los Angeles modification and how much time does writing a readme take?
There will be either a readme that credits me for my work (models and scripts) or just remove all Los Angeles Mod files from the modification (and at least the models that I made). In case the models aren't used in actual gameplay, I suggest to do the latter. I'm just surprised that virtually no effort was put into cleaning up unused and unnecessary files from the modification prior release.
The deal with MikeyPI's stolen models is a more serious and vital problem. I've immediatly contacted MikeyPI regarding the presence of his models in the modification and he was shocked that his models were directly copied to this modification.
While he may not be active on the forums for a while now (over 2 years), it doesn't mean people can simply take models without his (written) permission. He told me he never gave permission to use any his models in the modification and asked me to take necessary actions. As an admin and mod-creator I feel compelled to do so.
MikeyPI considers the theft of his models serious copyright infringement (an actual violation by international law) and wants ALL of his models to be removed from the modification within a couple of days.
That includes at least the following models which were all made by MikeyPI before his absence (see spoiler):

I'm going to give you guys a couple of days to fix these issues and re-release the modification, otherwise I will be looking for more serious consequences.
I hope you understand what this means and are willing to set this right.
I'm not trying to be a total dick about this. It's just that the team may violate (international) laws by releasing models that were not made by the team's members uncredited and without permission. It's unfair for people who've put into a lot of work in their models in their spare time without getting paid or anything. We're talking about hobbyists who at least deserve the proper treatment and credit when it comes to distribution of their work.
