einherjrar Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Hi everyone; Some of you might be familiar with some of my previous work, such as: M72_PPK12 Gauss Beta v3http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=4258 Or my most current project; 20th Century Weapons (WIP)http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5059 Today, the M72_PPK12 Gauss Beta has been hidden (by the moderators), and suspended (by myself; the author) until an issue of copyright is sorted out; M72_PPK12 Gauss Beta makes use of models from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (GSC Gameworld);I have been informed @ CS nation, FPSBanana, Fallout NEXUS, and elsewhere that GSC Gameworld permits 3rd party non-profit modders (such as myself) to use their graphic material in other games so long as they are not used for profit . Now I'm certain that many of you have heard the same thing as I, but I have been unable to locate an official document from GSC gameworld (in english anyway) that makes this statement. If anyone can post a link, or can point me in the right direction of this information, I would very much appreciate it. Failing that, I'll take suggestions for other forums that may have the information. M72_PPK12 Gauss Beta will not be available for a quite a while unless I can obtain this information; and may also impact other mods which have used the materials from this mod. Please Reply;-ein P.S. - I need something a little more to go off of than [http://www.gsc-game.com/]; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted187290User Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Yes, GSC Gameworld state that their resources may be used in 3rd party mods as long as credit is give where credit is due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddah Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Post a link to an official announcement, on their website or have a representative of their corporation contact me here through the email link in my user profile. I have heard this many times and asked over and over, no one has yet been able to provide one. What must be understood, I have nothing against it...but my actions are driven by the rules and policies of the site. Protecting the site from any litigious entanglements are of a primary concern.....copyright/intellectual property issues could cause the site to receive a cease and desist order. Which could have disastrous effects for the site and members alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astorius Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I recall hearing about this too from GSC Game World, the creators of Stalker. I'll find you the link. -When I have time. If I can find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
einherjrar Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 Alright, i have some information regarding the ports of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (GSC Gameworld) game material; and it is also probably why many are certain that GSC Gameworld allows ports of material from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Appearently FPSBanana was threatened with legal action over a year ago by an unknown game publisher for hosting various game material ports (mods that take models, textures, sounds, or other game material from one game and place it into another: ie; weapons swaps between CS:S, CS, DOD, COD, MOHAA, ect). FPSBanana created a 'white list' of game developers that have indicated that they will allow porting of their game content, as long as it is not for profit. Link to FPSBanana Whitelist;http://www.fpsbanana.com/pages/755 This whitelist was posted by Tom of FPSBanana ('Super Admin')http://www.fpsbanana.com/members/1382 A GSC Dev has appearently posted it on the forums, but the poster was unclear of which forums (FPSBanana or GSC); I await his clarification. I have also made a personal inquiry on the GSC STALKER forums; which has received no replies yet. GSC Gameworld:http://www.gsc-game.com/ Well, that's about all I've come up with in the last 24 hours.-ein If you know more, help me out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
einherjrar Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 More information: Good news from the GSC forum! My personal request for information on the GSC forums has received a response.http://www.gsc-game.com/index.php?t=commun...&offset=420 Quote from Don Reba (GSC Gameworld moderator)"The key point is non-commercial use. You are fine as long as you do not try to make money from GSC's content. Can't give you a link, because it is in my ICQ chat history with the previous Stalker project manager." I'll PM this to Buddah later tonight (unless he sees this before I get a chance); I'm still awaiting some hits on a few other forums for possible links to the previous 'historic' GSC Dev announcements. I will continue to gather information until either there is no more credible information to be had,or until the Nexus Staff finds the information sufficient to resolve this issue. -ein FYI - I say 'Nexus Staff' because I don't want to single out Buddah, this is an issue of website liability and copyrights; it's clearly not something personal. I wish to be clear about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddah Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 just shoot me a link to the actual post, and I will have a look. If it appears genuine, and I am quite sure it will, I will set the file visible and remove my post. Buddah Kudo's for finding it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ATM it is 4th down from the stickies, on the first page; there's not a huge crush of thread traffic, so it should be there for a while). I'm really sorry I can't do you one better on this; but I cannot directly link to the thread.I was surprised when I checked the link this afternoon. sorry, :unsure: -ein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
