Guidelines for re-use of original design?

[Clone142]

I'm thinking about creating custom maps for JK2. I'd like to know what are the guidelines/rules in terms of re-use in custom maps of original elements from the game.

 

Say, is it OK to re-use the textures developed by Raven that are available in the .pk3 files or does a map maker needs to re-create every texture he/she uses in his/her map?

 

Is it OK to re-use inanimate world objects and interactive models such as gun emplacements and bots or again does the map maker needs to re-create every model he/she uses in his/her map?

 

Are there other things that can/can't be re-used from the .pk3 files?

You can re-use anything...as long as you don't try to profit off of it, or claim that it's yours.

 

However, be careful when using existing material...if you don't do it well, it can look real repetitive and unprofessional...it's often better to create a texture to suit a surface rather than the other way 'round

Yeah, so long as you're not selling it, I don't see what complaints they would have.
