SatsukiKun Posted May 29, 2017 Posted May 29, 2017 I made a mod, and use lots of meshes and textures that I grab from other home mod. And some of them I don't even know which mod they belong to. I can't even ask authors for permission.In this case, can I upload my mod?
SatsukiKun Posted May 29, 2017 Author Posted May 29, 2017 No, you'll need the permissions first.If they're from modder resources categories, I still need to ask for permission? Or I can just put their link in description?
BombBloke Posted May 29, 2017 Posted May 29, 2017 You still need permission, but you may not need to ask for it. When viewing the page for a given mod, click the "perms" button (underneath the download stats) to see what's required.
leonardo2 Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) I would say, always ask for permission even if it isn't necessary, but remember to credit the original author in the readme just as a courtsey. Edited May 31, 2017 by leonardo2

In fact what I want to ask is if I don't know which mod they belong to, can I upload it? If author sees my mod and doesn't allow me to use, I can delete it.And if author doesn't reply for a long time, can I upload my mod?
RatB0Y68 Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 If you can't find which mod author made the assets, it is better not to use them. Also, if the author doesn't reply to your request for permission for a long time or at all, then assume permission denied by default. Silence is not consent. Some mod authors have caveats on their mod pages that read to the effect of 'if I don't respond within x amount of time, permission granted'. It should be said that these are rare cases and not to be relied upon.
