pikey1969 Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 I will be quick and straight to the point. I have a Starcraft Ghost Mod that I would like to update with some new content resources.http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36750 Recently Blizzard put out Starcraft 2, as I am sure you're all aware, and with it comes a very extensive modding tool of its own. Within the modding toolset, is also surprisingly readily available Starcraft 2 resources (some of which are the models used in interactive components of the game). I was hoping to use these model resources in my mods. If I properly link/credit Blizzard with all the resources that were used, would the mod be allowed on Nexus? References for you to see which models I am talking about: http://forums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=741693http://www.fpsbanana.com/skins/97509
bben46 Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 If and only if starcraft's Blizzard allows free use of their assets in a different game - This is not very likely as Blizzard does not allow use of WOW assets. But you can ask them. Please be prepared to show us documentation if they give a go ahead to use their assets. Just saying they said it's OK won't work. We need a post on an official site or a letter from them authorizing use of their assets.Bben46, Moderator
sesom Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 Did you read the forum posts of the description in your second link? As long as !!all!!! (mesh/texture) is your work only inspired by the original modells no problem. Simply porting from another game is not allowed as far as I know. Edit: Got :ninja: with a better answer. ;)
pikey1969 Posted November 15, 2010 Author Posted November 15, 2010 FPSBanana's rules are not ours. Liberal usage of the word 'illegal' by a bunch of random posters in their comments sections didn't concern me much, as this question is posed for theNexus community. I went through the EULA for Starcraft 2. Technically there's nothing in their agreements that would be violated for my using of the 3d models for a public/non-commercial mod. That being said, as requested by Bben46, I've made a post on the Starcraft 2 mapmakers official questions thread inquiring about this, and I've also contacted their support department. Thank you Bben46 for responding in a timely manner.
