DragonsCrest Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Hi people, or moderators or administrators. I recently started playing Oblivion again after reaching boredom point with Skyrim, and as per usual I created my character with the old Burmecian mod. I'm aware that the author has been contacted several times by other community members, and that he or she has not replied. Some of those related posts are a few years old now, and I was just thinking about those who didn't have the file anymore seeing as how popular it was among its fans and winning File of the Month (I think?) So what I was going to ask is..... Whether I may be able to re-upload the mod under the condition that if I did so, I would have to give credit to the original author under its File Description?? I still have the actual mod and its original ReadMe files, not too sure what version it is though. This is the only custom race that I had ever used apart from the High Imperial mod, and I think that it would be a great consideration to be able to re-upload it so long as it would be a supported ideal.

micalov Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Sure a staff member will probably confirm but if their readme etc does say you can reupload etc then you can not they need to give permission, without permission from the original author you can not reupload etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonsCrest Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 The readme does not state if it can or cannot be reuploaded...thats the thing. The author has not been present for years, ages really. I was a big supporter of his/her work, and If I was able to re-upload then I believe it would do a world of good. Fans would be happy, I would be happy...new supporters would surely follow. Obviously If I did bring it back to life nothing, and I mean nothing would be changed in its material. I have no idea how to mod anything, maybe just stats in the Construction Kit but thats about it. All I need is some official judgement, so that its known that I would or would not be re-uploading without due permission of at least staff. And I wont be doing anything in terms of uploading until its said so, i dont really want to get banned or anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonsCrest Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 So.....permission granted???? Denied???? :ermm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanceor Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Have you obtained explicit permission from the modder Burmecian? If not, it would be considered permission denied. If you want to obtain that explicit permission then I suggest doing some investigative work and tracking down a way to contact Burmecian and asking him/her. It's not likely that s/he will be checking this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
