jojje5 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) So hey, i could really need some advice regarding uploading rules. A couple of months back i started to edit one of the player homes that was posted on the site just for fun, i did not have the authors permission to do that, but since it was just for my personal use and i had no intention of sharing it i thought nothing about it at the time.However since i sometimes have problems putting an end to my projects this kept on growing,,and growing, and now i am at a point where i would really like to share my work. and if i did it would probably be one of the largest player homes that has ever been published on the Nexus. but since i based this project on someone else´s work i am really not sure on how to proceed, and the original author does not seem to have been active on the nexus for the last year or so, so it does not seem like i can ask for permission. Currently i would say that the project contains 95% of my own edits, and 5% of his, and i could probably remove most of his edits. but some things i am not sure about, like for example location and entry point, keywords and shared (not custom) scripts. and even if i removed all of his edits, our mods would still conflict. so i am really looking for advice here what i should do. and wondering how much of this projects needs to be my own for me to be able to upload it?

jojje5 Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 I could elaborate a little on some of the dilemmas i am wrestling with if i should remove his edit with some examples. If i remove a wall that he placed and place down an identical wall at the same place but with a new ref ID is that then my wall or is it his because he was the first one to use those 3D cords? or if i have placed an X-marker with a custom script to open some doors and named it after a door that he originally placed, then remove his door but keep his name on my marker, is that ok?

Kodiak412 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Did you look at the permissions tab for the original mod. Some mod authors will give certain permissions when they leave about using their mod and giving credit to the original author. However some just leave and don't.

However some just leave and don't.yea i did, and no word there. and i have sen´t him a message and asked for permission. but i doubt that i will get an answer. so currently i am leaning more towards removing his edits, and it´s mainly regarding this i have questions. If i do this i wan´t to make sure i do it clean, and i do not wan´t to get accused of stealing content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
