Gaultus Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 What would be general consensus of hosting NWN modules on Nexus, with maintainer to correct any bugs in the modules as an alternative source to download material from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tchos Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 It's always been available as an alternative download source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaultus Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 Good, if there are objections simply remove offending item(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tchos Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 My answer assumes you're uploading your own work, or work that the original author permits uploading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaultus Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 Much of this material is so old now I speculate it is almost in the public domain now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tchos Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 A work enters the public domain when the author states that they release it to the public domain, and/or 50 years after the death of the author, according to international law. But you don't need public domain, you just need permission, which some authors put in their readme files or descriptions. Ben Harrison, for example, gave open permission for anyone to do whatever they want with his NWN work, including hosting it anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaultus Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 I see then, most games with a mod community have mods which are forked to other modder(s), I suppose I will look in the file for permissions to see how that works. There are many old modules which need updating to be playable, as they were made long before the final 1.69 patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
