DrPepper715 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Hello, So I have been recently been working on my own mod for Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, the mod brings back the U.S. Army to the wasteland, adds lots of dialogue, armor, weapons, re-skins, and even things such as hair.It is (For Fallout 3) a 1,280 kb large file, for fallout new vegas it is 500kb large. I originally made it for personal usage, but many people have been asking me to post it on the nexus for public download the problem is I merged things from different mods, including Slam M16 weapon pack, Dragonskin Tactical Outfit, and a few other mods from many other mod authors. Should I post this to the public? :ermm: I do know the "Golden Rule" about posting mods and giving the appropriate mod authors credit but I merged so many mods, I just need to hear from other people what they think. Like I said, I'd love to hear some talk about this... :blush:Thanks :laugh: I'll provide images when I get on my Desktop. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangman4ever Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 You have to get permission first from all of the mod authors whose work/assets you've borrowed from. Without those permissions, you can't release your mod publicly with those assets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzisparis Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 As dangman4ever pointed out, you must obtain the original author's permission if you want to include some of their assets (i.e. meshes and textures) in your mod's downloaded package. However, if, for any reason, you are unable to do so, you can make the mods those assets are from, required files, and refer people to the respective Nexus pages, to download it.

nivea Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 The actual "Golden rule" is Permission NOT just give credit and call it a day, you need permission and to follow the guidelines the modders post in their readme. If they say anyone can use their stuff then you have permission, if they say no one may use their stuff then you do not have permission and should contact the modder.
