flamingsora Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 ok so when i wanted to restart a playthrough of morrowind i tried looking up some of the older mods that i used to use on my old pc but couldnt find some of them such as k potion upgradecm_minor questsvafex? i went back and dug into my old hardrive and found my old data folder that contained these mods but idk if can upload these since the links no longer exist or i cant find them? any feedback on how you upload something that isnt yours but no longer available since elric and planetelderscrolls no longer have these mods due to takedown of the websites. if the real owner of them comes along i would have no problem with them taking ownership of them again but its a shame taht some of these are amazing mods that just arent reachable anymore for download.

DoctorKaizeld Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 You ask the owner for permission. If you cannot do this you may not upload or share the files with anyone as that is illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVampireDante Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 All files uploaded must have been created by the uploader or used with permission from the original author of the content. Such permission must be indicated in the Readme text attached to the file and/or on the Description page (or in the Description field for images), and must be obtained in advance, before uploading the file. If you cannot provide proof of consent then your file will be removed and your account is likely to be banned. Unless the mods have readme files that say you are free to upload, or can contact the author(s) then I'm afraid you'll have to just keep them to yourself.

Tchos Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 As the others said, you can't upload mods without permission, but the ones you mention may already be available from here:http://mw.modhistory.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingsora Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) As the others said, you can't upload mods without permission, but the ones you mention may already be available from here:http://mw.modhistory.com/oh wow ty i didnt think they were available there...stupid google..cant search properly apparently. i almost feel stupid for asking such a thing...mods like those are hard to find nowdays. good to know there are still up somewhere. my intentions were not to take somones work anyway...i just dont want others to miss out on these awesome mods.

Tchos Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 It's not Google's fault. That site uses the Robots Exclusion Standard to prevent Google from indexing it, though I don't know why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon32 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 It's not Google's fault. That site uses the Robots Exclusion Standard to prevent Google from indexing it, though I don't know why.IIRC, Fliggerty got haXX0red at one point so when setting up GHF (and so MMH) made especially sure that things were locked down. Although, I agree, using robots.txt like that is (IMO) excessive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tchos Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 That helps explain it, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
