Wow. I'm glad this argument is over. It kinda made me sick.
But anyways, some certain models can I think of? Hmmm. Maybe, perhaps.... the newest Cybernetic Maul model!?

And don't 'un-Canon this, un-canon that' to me. I see plenty of ways Maul could possibly have survived that fall.
Same goes with Mace Windu. Even though it officially says Mace died

But, you can never be too sure that someone is dead, you know?

I suppose if we're looking into some sort of legal document Fred's totally right, and I respect that. But still... 10+ years of internet users asking permission from other users to convert and use stuff out of courtesy and all of the sudden for the first time serious legal issues are coming up? Whatever. They're going to go after guys like Darth_Veritus before they go after community made content.
Convert whatever you want, we're not going to stop you anymore.

Now you're in sync with what I'm saying.

Of course, I haven't setup one of these applications in a while, so I did the association the "hard way", instead of during installation. Heh.

Well no, just community made stuff or JKA playermodels, eh?;)
I contacted several people and they never replied, so I'm happy about this. Cos there's great models out there, waiting to be converted
How about the pack that was released? Were all those guns oversized?
Edit: Whoa, heated topic it would seem. I'm staying out of this one.

The all-mighty ex-dev has spoken. Since he knows all I say screw what the modding community has done for years and years with no problems. Raid, plunder and convert all you want.

FTW!
Yeah. So then. No asking, just convert as many models as we want without asking?

Whoa. That was a big change in decision.
Anyways, what would a Halo Covenant Elite be without Master Chief? The reviews aren't that great for it, but I couldn't find another one.

I was being sarcastic. We're still muddling over what to do, but for now just give the original creator credit. And don't convert copyrighted stuff obviously.

And on Filefront, they dont care what the thing is, they'll still trash talk about it for no apparent reason or just mess around with smilies
I would buy the MC model but I ran out of allowance money. Perhaps we can generate some money to buy it.

Pirates FTW!
And so far I've converted Anakin's Starfighter, Boba Fett, Jango Fett, a cool sword, Cybernetic Maul, MagnaGuard, Samus, Sheelal (Kaleesh Model) and a cool sniper rifle to .xsi . I'm emailing the authors right now to ask if it's OK to export to .msh and use.

Yeah. Pirates are awesome Darth! I saw Pirates this recent weekend.

Loved it to death.
Oh and tell me when you have an in-game screen of Anakin's Starfighter. I wanna see that badly.

Just be sure you "thank" the model maker in a "README".

More like it was converted for Rends.

Here is what I think: They didn't think up the idea for model so they don't get the credit for inventing it, George Lucas gets that. They
do however get the credit for
converting a version of George's idea. I for one am not going to ask if I can use their model but I
will thank them for
helping me convert the model from the unreachable mind of George Lucas to Battlefront 2.

That is, if it is a Star Wars model of course.

...
...
...
I was feeling profound.
On a different note, what is the scale for models between JKA and BF2.
I find when I scale the model down by 0.03156 it turns out right.......At least I think it's right.

What do you guys use?
