Darth Dex Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Okay sorry about this my iternet was having problem and it clear my post then added it 3 times this is what it should have said: Wait a minute. Okay, I knew this was a Lucas Forums Board, but doesn't Lucas Arts run it. So why would they add a modding Forum? Does that mean they want modding anyways?

Prime Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 This or any of these forums is not affiliated directly with Lucasarts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colma Adawin Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 he does have a point Prime, if this does use the name Lucas and Star Wars, surely that means that Lucas Arts know about this? for all we know theres Lucas Arts workers HERE in the Modding Community, and they surely must've said something about this? unless they appriate us doing this? MattCole PS this forum is probaly the most famous among us, and what if one member had a mod with a read-me saying this mod is made by Holowan Labs and this mod was given to another person and so forth until it most likely hit a Lucas Arts person? and they know about Jedi academy Mods though Pcgamemods, which has KotOR mods as well, they MUST'VE seen this, i personally think they know about this.

Mav Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Ofcourse they know about this, but it isn't like they encourage it nor do they prevent us from doing it the best way to say how they regard modding is that as long as it stays as things for personal use and it doesn't go so far as to make a completely new game or anything then Lucas Arts just "tolerates" it. We've had this discussion MANY times before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had this discussion MANY times before. That just about sums the whole Issue up. And Matt just because these are called the LucasForums does NOT mean it has to be affiliated with Lucas Arts in any way. EXAMPLE: As a game company you will have fan sites using names and likenesses of your companys name and symbol/icon springing up all over if you release a sucsessful game. All of these sites are tolerated by you because they are fan sites and are actually free advertising, etc. for your game. That is just what is happening here.

Mav Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 It is sort of like what is happening in with TV now days, I know this is a little off topic but bear with me here. TV shows used to have fake cereal and fake soda etc. etc., but now they use real products because teh companies see it as free advertisement, also with Tivo and recorders like that companies are worried that commercials will become inaffective because people wont see them anymore with the recorders that don't record commercials, okay sorry about my ramblings, hehe my bad.

CDRSeadog Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Actually (and correct me if I'm wrong T7nowhere or tk102) - I believe LucasArts does have some little "thing" to do with this website... I do seem to recall that when DarthFace first posted his re-skins of Bastila and her "undies" (and lack thereof as well)...that it was a LucasArts Admin who not only berated him for posting such material - but who also removed both DathFace's posts, and his links for viewing and downloading the Bastila files, as well...actually, I happened to be in the Holowan when said event occured *chuckles* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TemporaryTomato Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Heh, so we can mod all we want as long as we dont make nude skins? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDRSeadog Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Well *chuckles again* Temporary Tomato - considering that DarthFace has been - to my personal knowledge - the ONLY modder here at the Holowan who was ever censored...one could assume that would be the case...certainly none of the early threads in which we discussed the technical difficulty of producing "scantily clad (at best) characters" was ever "censored".
