Jarkon Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Hi all! I'm working on a mod I'd like to remain standalone (I.E. not require DLC's to download). One script I'm working on started out as basically a copy/ paste of one from the contraptions DLC (namely the script the launches fireworks). However, I have made a few changes to this script, mainly by adding a few new things that happen when a projectile is launched, as well as changed and tweaked a few variables. I feel it would be silly to require people to have the entire DLC just because I have a script loosely related to it, but at the same time I'd absolutely hate to even risk copyright infringement. Does anyone think that this would constitute any kind of infringement? Or am I just being a little paranoid? Any input would be really appreciated. Thanks!

HeyYou Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Technically, it likely would be infringement if you DON'T require the DLC..... Since you know what you want the script to do, can you just re-write it? Not use and code directly from the DLC script? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarkon Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 After thinking about it a while I decided to just go for a different idea rather than risk any copyright related incidents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werr92 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Skse, F4se utilities edit the vanilla scripts and it's fine. They don't get any of these copyright issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxShadow09 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) You won't get any copyright related problems if you edit vainilla or DLC scripts. In fact, there are mods that edit them, to change quests for example. It's perfectly fine, as long as you don't include any content from a DLC to a mod that doesn't require the DLC. I think that applies only to resources, but scripts are just code that generally works everywhere (some things will probably not work anyway if you don't have the DLC installed), so you can use them anywhere you like.
