skyline99 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 In order to upload a new version of the mod, you would have to get permission from the author first, as stated in the 'credits and permission' section. If permission is granted, then I don't see how it would be taken down. It would just be that the original version is outdated, where as yours is the newest version.

mrbic Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) You could use his mod as sort of a tutorial to create your own version, but you couldnt directly copy off anything. For example, say the modder created a custom zombie, you could use his same method of creating that zombie to make your own, but you couldnt directly take the zombie he made and put it into your own mod. Mods dont have to be original, they just cant have material taken from the original mod. Examples of copyright would be taking his mod, naming the file something else, and posting it back on the nexus. You also couldnt make your mod too similar to his; you could make a mod with zombies in a city, but you couldnt take this guys mod and remake it step by step, even if you didnt directly take the files from his mod. Lets say that someone made a custom AK-47. I can look at that AK-47 and decide that, because I disagree with some stats, I want to make my own custom AK-47, however I'm not a good modder and I cannot make a cool-looking AK-47. I can open up the mesh for the AK-47 and design my own using the same idea of what he did, but I just couldnt use that exact mesh that he used- Id have to build my own from the ground up, but of course it wouldnt matter if I made it using the same idea of that modders AK-47. To make sure that its not too similar, I would apply a different-looking texture to the AK-47 and of course I would make sure that the mesh isnt exactly the same shape. Anyway if you dont want to make an entirely new version of the mod, you should just ask Dark0ne then, but its unlikely itll be approved because this site is zero tolerance and Dark0ne owns this website(?).Its someone elses work we are talking about. At this point you may get approved to be able to make it very similar, however actually taking the person hard-work and reposting it is a big request.
