releasing a mod question

[deafoe]

i have been working on a dmw compilation for myself for awhile now i recently learned a little photoshop so i made new screens load screens for the levels that didnt have one and i did some credits cause i wanna release the question is should i release it i didnt get prior permission for the levels and such but i have credits covered in a file and i added mod credits menu so what do ppl think ? thanks for reading my rambling =)

[deafoe]

its got almost 30 dmw levels in it, i just wasnt sure if i should release it or not sorry posting late late

First things first, the full-stop is your friend.

Second, I'd ask permission from people first before releasing anything. Its just common courtesy.

[deafoe]

full stop ? i wasnt going to release with out getting some good advice first i dont wanna piss nobody just figured ppl would like the convenience of it. thanks man

[deafoe]

so is TEH PERIOD. Seriously, punctuation marks got invented for a reason.

anyway, opening a thread and telling people to give permission is not the best idea because not all of the original creators are gonna see this thread. also you didn't mention a single map-name so who do you expect to reply to you?
Anyways, I'm sure every single original creator of those DMW maps has put hours/days/weeks into his map so it's only fair if you take the effort and write each of them a little e-mail asking them for permission. most people leave their e-mail adresses in a readme attached to the mod download.

i'm sure you'll receive lots of positive replies. there's a few exceptions but most modders in this community will welcome the use of their map in a mod. at least that's what my impression is after being in this community for quite a long while.

Maybe you should give a few informations about your mod when asking for permissions, or at least do that in this thread and then give the authors the link so they can check. They would be interested in knowing something about what their level(s) would be joined to, like if you tweaked the gameplay, skins, or if it's only a DMW pack, etc...

A list of the DMW maps you used could possibly be useful : "Oh, this map, I know the guy who did it, I'll PM you his mail address so you can ask him", this kind of stuff.

Anyway, good luck, 30DMW maps = lots of authors = lots of authors who disappeared...

[deafoe]

its pretty much strictly a map pack it has my test level in it menus to alot of maps some new load screens , some credit screens, a few maps required like a baseball bat or some music mostly nothing was changed. small changes in chateau i dont think i can use his bt in just his map. can i have your permission corwin while i got you here ? i made a loading screen for all the maps that didnt have their own, for yours i did one for your address uknown level.

I was going to mention that Lupino Showdown is made by me, but AMD manage to do it before me, so I didn't post, but it's ok to use it.

I actually should have enchanted version of it in my comp, so I may let you use it.
