towerwarlock Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I have a question. If I wanted to take a model of a weapon from Fallout 3 or New Vegas, and bring it in and create a mod to bring it into Fallout 4, would that be possible? And could the same be done with some of the structures from those games? I was thinking about using the model for the Gauss Rifle from those games, simply because it looks better than the one in Fallout 4. Can anyone offer any advice?

lilkandeekid Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 You could port for your own personal use, release on the Nexus no, as its material copyrighted to another game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minngarm Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 make a batch installer that finds the users install of FO3/NV and copies the asset from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilkandeekid Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Eh, as the assets are from pre skyrim, its not as easy as just copying them over. Things need to be converted and re positioned.While not hard, still something that would require you to have the meshes and textures with your mod.Been discussed a lot, conclusion always the same - cant host ported things without permission, and Beth isnt about to give it up lol.

ZsoSahal Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) The short answer is no. You can not port something directly from one game to the other, and post it here on the Nexus. The long answer is, IF, and this is a big if, you make something "inspired by" an item from FoNV for example, it has to be completely new creation, built from scratch. You can look at the Veteran Ranger mod on here. Its obviously inspired by NV. But its a completely new set of meshes and textures, and isn't just porting the model over.

There is http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/9519/? that uses The Witchers 3's actual textures and meshes, but CD Project Red who makes the game is actually cool enough to give the modder permission to use them (he even includes a link to the email from the legal team and all). Like I said, if you can prove you have permission to use them, then its all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
