Use of work without permission!

Post by Qdin »

Hey guys.

As some of you know, I was the one whi created the 3 Clone Commander weapons for Kashyyyk: Shores 3.0/3.1 and the 3 weapons in the Elite Sides Mod.

originally, MajinRevan told me to create them for him, but its still my work, and I don't want people to use my hard work without my knowing and/or permission.

So far, only 2 people have 100% free access to use the 3 weapons without my knowing - but I still wants to be mentioned (which Delta keeps forgetting :wink: lol).

Delta_57_Dash & MajinRevan, since I made the weapons for them :)

at http://starwarsbattlefront.filefront.com/potd/48080 in the Picture Of The Day, I see 2 clone troopers holding my blasters!

that's confusing me, since I haven't given any permission to the creator to use the weapons.
I think its from Geonosis: Catacombs from Era Of Desann, and one of MajinRevan's 'students'.

its not the fact that I haven't been asked for permission or anytihng, but the fact, that I'm not even MENTIONED where I can download, nor in the ReadMe.... THAT pisses me off :cry: (yeah - its sad...)

I wasn't even SURE if it was a good idea to release the weapons in one of MajinRevan's Source Packs (I'm not sure how many he created :roll: ) because people could simply use them and take the credits for themselves...!

I know Era, 'newbie'/youngling mistake :wink:

but I just want to clear things out, that if anyone ever is using someones (or especially something I made :P) the creator shold get 100% credit for that work - mention the username and/or real name - if the creator wants it mentioned - and also write what he/she did :)

thanks

- Qdin (and I also personally wants to know if anyone wants to use anytihng I created to a mod/map/anything :) )

Do we really own our mods? hehe. I think it would be nice to say hey everyone give me credit or shoot me an email so I can play the mod, but in all honesty you couldnt do a single thing legally and people are takers..... So i guess your just requesting that people show some respect and add your name to things that come out containing your works. I just wanted to let you know its all good:

We all know in the community who makes good mods and where they come from and end up. Dont lose any sleep over it Qdin.

You should feel lucky, i made the first mods for dungeon siege 2 , put 20 or so files online and people used programs to rip the code and make new mods and call them their own , lol. Now people send me emails saying "your mods are copied" or that the only mods I made were godly cheats and ruined the game, lol. It cracks me up .... 10 million downloaders in a month , then i get whines that the mods are no good cuz there too powerful or someone else work. Least you get some type of props! rofl. Its not easy being a ~~mod god!~~~

lol guru, true :wink:

I know some people are true whiners, and I hate such whiners :roll: but
i know you made he first mod for DS2 :P

I just want people to respect my wishes, and give credits to people in the manual - and its NOT good enough to write:
credits:
AName
AnotherName
A3rdName

- you see? that's not good enough, because people don't know WHY they're written in the credits... :?

anyways - I hope Era Of Desann see's this, and changes his ReadMe :P :P :P especially since he's a 'good guy' :wink:

In Defense of Desann(I know he's not being accused of evil, just a mistake): It's not really a noob mistake, technically his map counts as Majin's usage of your stuff, as Catacombs is part of Majin's (SB) saga battles and majin did the sides himself. Just an FYI. Qdin, did you do the ODFs and sounds, or just the models? Good job either way.

Sorry about that Qdin. :oops:

As we discussed I gave credit to you in the comment section and I'll change the ReadMe for the next version. I guess the reason I forgot that was because I didn't do the SIDES myself. Again, I'm sorry! I hope that peace has been restored.

first: Ace, what is GYI? :roll: :roll: :roll:

I did the model and skinning, and not the .odf :)

I know its a part of the Saga Battles, and thereby a part of Majin's work - but he still forgot to mention me :P :P :P

lol

great map Era! (loved to play it in SPTest and had Invincible and Unlimited ammo and Infinite Reinforcements :P )
