DAWUSS Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 basiclly so far, its arc troopers that have similar objectives of the commandos but we're planing on new missions,levels,etc. So essentially, version 1 is just RC with ARCs instead, and version 2+ will be an all new thing? Some can be easy to genericize, like the Acclamator Star Destroyer - instead of it being the Prosecutor, it could be the Naboo or Insurmountable...

Astor Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Just a heads up after noticing the discussion in your social group - It's doubtful that you'll be able to use the soundtracks from the Star Wars Trilogies in your mod, as that's infringing copyright law. Therefore, any mod released that contains the soundtrack from any copyrighted source would be illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyGoalie35 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 would modifying a song like a remix be illegal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astor Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I'm not 100% on my copyright law, but I think yes, modifying a song would also be illegal. There's nothing stopping you from adding the soundtrack for your own personal use, but adding it into a mod and then distributing it is definitely illegal.

DAWUSS Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 would modifying a song like a remix be illegal? I think it depends how how much/far its remixed. Something like a montage may not necessarily pass the test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To name a few - AEM over at EAW Files, Star Destroyer II Map over at JK Files... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To name a few - AEM over at EAW Files, Star Destroyer II Map over at JK Files... I'm pretty sure, yes. And if those mods are using the Star Wars soundtrack, then they're infringing the copyright. Now, I know what you're thinking - LucasFilm/Arts hasn't had those mods removed, so they obviously don't mind. What's more likely is that they don't know they even exist. I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade here, but I think it's important that you know that the inclusion of the soundtrack is on shaky legal ground at best.

Trench Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 What if they use Vode An? Its in RC so it should be legal right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astor Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 What if they use Vode An? Its in RC so it should be legal right? Of course - it's one of the game's original assets - using the soundtrack from the game itself is fine, as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not "Raining on our Parade." I personally, am really glad that you brought this up, and being a composer I sympathize with the copyright issues. We really should make sure it's legal for us to use the Soundtrack Music/Remixes before we put them in. I'll to some research into this, as I have a neighbor who worked as a head-hunter for ILM. He should know. EDIT: Ok, we now have official Main/loading screens. Comments? Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulmont Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Well, there's a HailFire droid in-game already... but unless we figure out how to export/import models, I'm afraid we won't be able to do those. However, you can rest assured knowing that I will try my hardest to figure out how to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Dimal Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 There's a Hailfire droid in the game! Where is it? Also will someone be able to reskin the DC-15s side arm blaster to look like the commando pistol used by Arcs and make it a new weapon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M@RS Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Where exactly on Geonosis is it? If I remember correctly, I think there's two spider droids on Geo... One of them is outside the entrance to the battle droid factory (I think, it may be the entrance to one of the Seperatist Core Ships). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
