Blake81 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I'm pretty sure this has been asked before but I can't seem to locate the thread. I'm working on a mod where I wish to include some FO3 Weapons and Armor(Chinese Pistols,Chinese Assault Rifles and others) that aren't used in FNV.Would that give me any legal trouble to upload it here?I don't wanna get any strikes(as the Moderators call it) for doing it.

Quetzlsacatanango Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 If NV didn't include the assets, it's a no go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minngarm Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 They should be fine to use, I believe they are in the FNV database, as there are mods that simply unlock and add them to the game world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baduk Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Make sure u take the file from the FNV bsa archive only cause then u will not make an accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake81 Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 Even if there is many of FO3 that was reimplemented in FNV ,Chinese weapons and armor(except anchorage stealth armor)aren's included in FNV database.So,what if they aren't included?Would it be ok?

baduk Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Ok.. Maybe you are not understanding, as you say "database" it is a strange choice of words. If u are loking in geck there is refs from fo3 in it. and if u are looking in bsa archives there is resources from fo3 in it. I have no idea what percentage of stuff is included form fo3 but, since data files take up more space than the ref entries do, i would assume that u see a lot more fo3 stuff in the esm than you do by browsing the archives. Because they would want to remove content they are not using to reduce file size. But its really simple tho, if the resources are not included with fnv then u cant use it.

Blake81 Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 By ``database´´ I mean all the resources included in the bsa.I'm sure that I read somewere(Maybe it was at Beth forums)that as long as I don't port a large part of FO3(like say,the whole Citadel and it's NPCs) on a single mod for FNV there is no probem,but since I haven't found the place were I saw that I'm not sure of what to do... About the precentage of FO3 stuff in the GECK there's a wide selection,but all of FO3-non-FNV weapons and armors aren't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidlallen Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Sorry to simply repeat, but if NV didn't include the assets, it's a no go. You cannot copy even a single item from the FO3 game into FNV. You can use whatever you want which is in the FNV files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 It's extremely simple (and yet people are trying to make it more complicated than it is). Treat every mod you make for New Vegas as though you don't have Fallout 3 installed and never did. You can ONLY use assets that are in the VANILLA version of Fallout New Vegas. No "ifs", "ands" or "buts". No grey area. No nothing. People are now getting banned for breaking this rule as they've had ample warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidlallen Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Is the policy to ban people who ask whether this is legal? Or only those who give some evidence that they have done it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
