Gantu Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Hello folks, maybe im wrong in this forum with my question but I`m a Newbie and didin't found a Questionsforum especially for Witcher 2. I have just completed a Merged Patch out of six different Mods. My Problem is - one off the original Autors can't get Messages from me and now I`m not sure if I can release the Patch without violate th Forumrules. Also i messaged the other five Authors but don`t know when the answer. Can anyone tell me how I should react if no answer or explicit permission is given? Sorry for my bad english I hope you can understand my Problem and help me. Maybe the patchdescription can help to solve my Problem ----------------------------------Description------------------------------------------ This is a easy to use merged Patch wich contains the Work of six different authors. Basicly it is a complete overhaul of many Gameplay Concepts in The Witcher 2. Long Description: This is a merged Patch wich comes with 6 different Mods. I realized that most of the mods i want to use interfere with others or kill each other completly. For this reason i created this merged Patch for all of you how doesn't want to search and edit .xml Files for hours. Brief Description of the Patch Functions: - now you have the possibility to use 3 mutagens instead of just one at the very end of every skilltree(for more Information please visit and endorse http://www.witchernexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=47 ) - you can create higher Level Mutagens from lower ones, all you need is the scheme for the mutagen (now purchasable at many vendors) and the incredients(for more Information please visit and endorse http://www.witchernexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=75 ) - you have the ability to carry 500 pounds around with you cause of the lack of your own treasure chest(for more Information please visit and endorse http://www.witchernexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=14 ) - the marketprices if you sell something are much higher Ratio 1:5 (rather than 1:24 like in vanilla version) which makes incredients gathering much more convenient(for more Information please visit and endorse http://www.witchernexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=67 ) - you combat ability have been changed (wimp at start god at end) to reflect the difficulty of each act correctly(for more Information please visit and endorse http://www.witchernexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=44 ) - the obtainable items and their stats have been changed to balance the "More Powerfull than Chuck Norris and God together" Weapons and Armors - for much more Immersion(for more Information please visit and endorse http://witchernexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=89 ) Installation: just put the Bewitch Merge Patch v_0_1.dzip in your coocked pc folder. Some Notes: Attention - if you have a sword or a armor with equiped enhancements they seem to be lost but the are not - keep that in Mind if you want to equip new enhancements. First: Also i would like constructive critisism about the compilation of mods but nothing like "This is crap" - You don't like it you dont play it. If you found some cool Mods wich are not included post them and describe the reason why you think it should be a part of the Patch. Second: If you notice any bug which can be tracked down to the merging process i try to solve it but i didn`t go on bughunting in the original Mods. So far i didn`t noticed any bugs (but I'm just at Act1 ). Third: I try to keep these patch up to date but i will only look once in a month after new versions of the mods. This is a merged patch so basicly you have to ask the original authors, mentioned in the description. But i would be happy i've you appreciate my work by reffering to me as the creator of the used Merged Patch. At Last: At this point everyone should have noticed english isn't my first language, i hope you can forgive me my bad english and keep in mind "Jeder Rechtschreib oder Gramatikfehler den du als erstes findest, darfst du behalten" I want to thank they authors of these 6 files - cause they are the real Masterminds behind all the Gamechanges in this Patch with just little changes by me. ---- Better Combat 2.13 ---- http://www.witchernexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=44 by Lautreamont ---- 3 Mutagens ---- http://www.witchernexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=47 by Tukabronazo ---- MUTAGENOLOGY 0.3a Beta---- http://www.witchernexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=75 by Kamilius ---- Market Price Mod 1.2---- http://www.witchernexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=67 by Paul_NZ ---- Change Max Weight Capacity Mod ---- http://www.witchernexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=14 by fireundubh ---- CEO Complete Equipment Overhaul 0.8 ---- http://witchernexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=89 by Kindo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Basically you need permission from every author before you can use their work in your own mod. If you don't get permission then you can't upload it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordsman5 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Well I for one would use this, and in my view, whilst the mod contains work from multiple creators, you haven't at any point tried to claim anything more than the merge and a few personal tweaks. Plus the fact that all the relevant mods merged have been linked in the readme points any user to the original creators of the various mods used. Within the Morrowind/Oblivion modding community it has been the norm for years to recognise the work of others used in the manufacture of any mod, in fact all but a few make it a standard part of any readme to either grant or decline the use of their material in other mods. @ Dark0ne, Maybe it might be prudent to insist that any mod that is uploaded here includes a readme (many don't) and that permission or denial of further usage be included within it.

Gantu Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 Hello Folks, thanks for the advises. But i have to confess this discussion maybe is obsolete, reason why is i just found the extra tap "Credits and Permission" and found out that all six authors have given their permission. I know i'm a bloody newbie and I'm ashamed. But it is nice to have the explicit permission from 4 of the 6 authors. Sorry to bother you guys maybe the patchupload is is a little peacetreaty. cu Gantu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordsman5 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Far better to ask and keep everything sweet than to charge in and cause antagonism, you did the right thing mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfmod Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 One of the problems you are going to run into is that gamers come and go. This month it is all this game; next month it could be something entirely different and so getting permissions is often going to be difficult.
