Func_Msgboard: Contract Revoked: The Lost Chapters

The Theme

Return To Fodrian

Fodrian is a planet. Though it isn't exaclty a medieval version of Coruscant, it is flecked and pitted with numerous cities, some vaster than could ever be fully explored. While the events of Contract Revoked depicted the trial of one lone slipgater, countless other beings have visited this world down the aeons.
Daring individuals frequently invade the library-cities, hoping to steal artifacts of great power and renown.

Written on pages torn out and discarded, filed away in secrecy or scattered to the winds, these are their stories.

.wad Policy?

#87 posted by Entar on 2005/04/12 20:11:38

I was thinking about starting a new topic, but I saw this one and figured it was as good as any (and it saves a new topic).

Anyway: I emailed Kell a while back but never got a response. I was just wondering what his policy was on other people using his .wad files and skyboxes. I wanted to use some of them for a standalone DM project I'm doing with Quake.

BTW - The levels are pretty great! :)

EDIT

Drat that lack of edit button.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that I'd be making maps with the .wad files, but possibly using replacement textures (hi-res, tga or pcx).

you can use any wad files found on the net w/o any limitation and w/o mailing author etc.

as for the hi res textures, please for quake's sake do not use them.....

That was quite possibly the most retarded thing I've ever heard you say.

From what it sounds like, Entar is making an engine mod and full on game code change, meaning it's no longer 'Quake', and is instead something new and differant... perhaps Kell doesn't want his work associated with that.

If there's no readme with the wad or nothing about it's use is specified, it's always best to try and get in contact with the original author beforehand.

well under 'w/o any limitation' i meant just usage of the wad, possibility to edit it etc. maybe that was too wide statement, i agree. of course, any respected programmer/designer will read corresponting txt file and do what's said there, i.e. giving credits etc.
as for the mailing author, well, if there'are special conditions stated in the readme mailing is required of course.
i said that meaning all that conditions, i just lazily thought that entar realizes all that as only truth. of course i constantly keep forgetting that there are a lot of newbies around who don't understand such things ;)

so from your arrogant pov it sounded retarded, but from my pov it was rather advanced and short statement meaning i speak with the person who understand all that netiquette or how u call it ;)

bleh, i hate typing so much....

I Promiss Vondur!

Oops... Found It

#93 posted by Entar on 2005/04/13 08:20:33

Found the .html file - it's got distribution information in there.

"If you release a map containing any of these textures, I would appreciate a credit."

Will do.

Woot

How long until you finish the start map ( roughly ) and are able to package a finished product?

Seven Days
