lazloarcadia Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 So here is the deal, if I create a mod that uses someone else's mod as a master file, such as Deadpool's Service Rifle or Militarized Minutemen by Corvalho1, do I need their permission? Mind you I am NOT changing that other mod in any way, nor am I including any of their custom assets within my mod. Rather I would be making it a requirement that it be installed for my mod to work properly. Example: I make a Gunner overhaul that focuses on more modern equipment and I want the Service Rifle to be the default weapon on the Gunners. I am not changing or adding anything to Deadpools mod, nor am I actually using any assets from that mod within my own mod, rather that mod becomes a required master for my mod to work. At which point how much permission am I expected to get? NOTE: Very important here - I would of course ask for their blessings on this sorta thing anyway just outta respect for the hard work that goes into modding, however I'm trying to get some clarifications on this point to avoid stepping on toes as I go forward with a new project I have in mind. NOTE 2: Deadpool's Service Rifle and Corvalho1's Militarized Minutemen are being used here as examples because of how well known they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyYou Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Think I would be real tempted to 'play it safe', and get permission....... It may or may not be required....... but..... better to have, and not need, than need, and not have. Might try PMing a moderator with this question, see what they have to say. (or, link them to this thread, and get a public answer.....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorkaz Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 In the permissions tab there's something like "I give permission to other people to make patches, etc..."So check that out. Years ago I got reprimanded because I made a translation of a Skyrim mod I liked, so be cautious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
