Dragon age hair mod request

Thank you for asking them too! If they respond with an okay or not okay that would let me know if this dream is an impossibility or not and then I can just drop it into a pit or dance for joy! Either way...

 

Thank you for those links! I'll go watch the videos and such as well.

 

Thank you for being willing to look into doing this even if it is a no go for permission. :D

@vBrumenn, Haha, actually, I figured out how to export it with a different tool. There are Blender scripts for DA II that work fine for Origins since both games use the same engine, and thus register the exact same file types. I just don't have too much free time on my hands at the moment unfortunately to fix some placement bugs the model I made had. If you've already made the mesh and it's ready though, that's great news.

 

As far as permissions go, I thought I might mention that if ShepShy has not been active for several months, it should be okay to release the modified hair for private use so as long as the original author is credited in a readme accompanying the download, as well as a PM about it for whenever they come back. If you are really unsure, you might check with Nexus staff about it.

@AugustiusV; What does "release the [mod] for private use" even mean?

When wanting to use another's material in a mod to be published here on the Nexus, "Giving credit" is never sufficient. "Getting permission in advance" is always required.

Please read our Terms and Policies (link at the top-right of every page) if you need clarification.

Ah, Thank you for letting me know Thandal! I'll keep trying to get responses from people for permissions and so on. But it's looking like a hair that looks even remotely like this is going to be a no go. Oh well. It was a long shot anyway.

@Auroranin Thank you for you understanding. I really hope permissions will be granted so you can have your hairstyle. Or at least a no-no reply so the ashes of the dream could rest in peace lol. Also thank you for the nice pm!

 

@AugustiusV It's good to read, really! I thought you had issues as you mentionned previously that you couldn't contact the creator of the Blender import script (NBP I thought). I won't have to invoke the Holy Nug in this thread again lmao. (Also for ShepShy, I saw in their profile that they login few days ago so I tried to reach them by pm. We'll see if we're lucky or not).

 

@Thandal That's what I thought. I even read again the policies of Nexus and even if the specific case of "Releasing the mesh in Mefiafire and send the link via pm to someone so they can use it in their own game" obviously wasn't mentionned, it would have seems strange to me to share other peoples materials without permissions without digging into any trouble about legality. I will try to contact NewSea (original meshes author, ShepShy was the one porting it) and get the permission of converting/editing their hairstyles if I find a way to do so or trying to teach the magic of hair modding. This way we won't harm anyone's rights (I suppose? We have the right to convert hair for our own game without permission if we keep it for ourselves, right ._.? ) and you won't have to jail us all in Aeonar lol.

If I have any reply I will update Auroranin about it so this thread will eventually meets a end.

 

Have a nice day/evening/coffee again everyone!

@Thandal Ok! Thank you for the clarification and for your time! I came to have a doubt on the moment hehe! Happy to know I'm not a wrongdoer! I wouldn't like the idea of asking hair creators if I can port their stuff if I can't for some technical reasons, that's why I prefere to give a try before asking.

For what it worth I completly understand your position and why you have to be strict about it. It would be a shame to lose this community and platform because of a general blacklising from games devs and other games modders.

 

@Auroranin Don't be. Lots of peoples don't bother with the permission thing so the "everyone do this" may be quite confusing when you're unsure about what you are allowed/forbidden to do (that's why basing behaviour on other people's is often a bad idea generally speaking). Also nobody did wrong here. You asked, you got your answere and you didn't insist. No bad ending here ;) ! [and I think everyone knows how frustrating is it when you want a mod very badly and can't have it for some reasons nor you can do it yourself ^_^. Tbh that was my #1 motivator to learn how to make mods myself lol]

 

Have a nice day/evening/coffee/football final if you're into this (and I don't even support my countrymen, shame on me xD)!
