Trex Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Basically, my question is this : If I were to mod a section of KOTOR 1 then film whatever was happening there by capturing it (with Fraps or similar) and turn it into an AVI file (then converting it to a bik), then using it as a movie in a KOTOR II mod, does this still count as porting, since none of the physical files are being 'ported'? To put it in context, I'm thinking about just showing some Selkath cheering on Manaan and Some Wookies on Kashyyk when the villains are defeated at the end. I'm thinking that this might fall into a certain gray area, but I'm also thinking that if people can put footage from their games onto Youtube, then maybe I can do this. Anyone help? If I haven't explained this very well, please say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Fett Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Umm.. That's a hard one.. (<-) Well, strictly speaking, it's not porting as you're not using the actual game files. On the other hand, you're using part of K1 in TSL, even if it's indirectly.. I could be completely wrong, but there shouldn't really be a problem.

Astor Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I'm not sure, but I think that it would still be classed as porting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inyri Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Porting is using game assets from one game in another game. You're not doing that, so you should be fine. If anything it would just serve as a little advertisement for TSL players who don't already have KotOR1 to pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exile007 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Umm.. That's a hard one.. (<-) As everyone else said it shouldn't be a problem, no game files from KotOR were put into TSL by you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerGod Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 That's a hard one.. (<-) <insert testicular joke here> Anyways, like Marius, I'm not sure on this. On one hand, is Inyri. Its just footage taken from K1. But, on the other hand, footage is made from K1 into TSL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree.. or at least be out the door with ya when D3 crushes us with her Darksi... err.. "legal" powers It's a .bik anyways.. not a lot of asset exploiting going on there I don't foresee any problems with it. Mac or The Source did some TSL billboard mods which incorporated screenshots taken from K1 and it was OK. Yours would just be a "moving" version of it.. kinda.. sorta.. in a way...

"legal" powers In the real world, the 2 are one and the same. Sometimes theres a slip up, and they do an Lightside action, but then they counter that 1 LS Point with 10 DS Points. *Looks back over the above statement* I need to take a break from TSL for a while, evidently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikmin Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I really don't think it's a problem. You're using film recorded yourself from something you own. It shouldn't be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderWiggin Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 In the real world, the 2 are one and the same. That's true for some of the sleazier defense attorneys and such in America, but it's not always the case in other parts of the world _EW_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
