redsaurus Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 What happened with the jk3files cease & desist? Somehow I managed to miss what happened then.
eezstreet Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 C'mon eez, these kids are too new, they weren't around when jk3files almost got shut down for hosting ported content, that's why none of them take it seriously. It's simple, if you want JKHub to stay in existence then you will quit caring about being able to submit ported content. If you don't then fuck you and gtfo. I already said it once, if you want to port, port models from games YOU OWN to games YOU OWN and DON'T REDISTRIBUTE THEM.The ironic thing is that I'm willing to bet that a lot of these kids were like maybe 1 or 2 when JKA came out (I was 10, so I mean maybe not much better)i feel old. The old days of JKA were best. Back when people actually gave a damn. >_> What happened with the jk3files cease & desist? Somehow I managed to miss what happened then.I'm not sure what happened with BioWare. Ask Inyri about that, as she might know more. All I could dig up was something on their site:http://jediknight3.filefront.com/news/IMPORTANT_note_to_people_submitting_files;2037 Circa likes this
minilogoguy18 Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Yeah, @@Inyri could fill people in best since I'm almost certain that at the time she was on the staff there. I was 16 when the game came out eez, you ain't that old.
Grab Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Are you people serious about troubles and protecting JKhub?
Link Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 It is unwise to not take these things seriously and to cover yourself and your users regardless of how tiny the potential for trouble. First draft of the new file submission policy is in the staff area for review therfiles and Circa like this
ChalklYne Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 According to what Lucasfilm just sent me... even making a custom character is risking the site. Modding the game at all besides inserting something non-star wars related (i.e. baseball bat) is "inappropriate" Re: STAR WARS™, STAR WARS: THE FORCE UNLEASHED™ sound effects and proprietary elements from the Star Wars motion pictures in connection with your moddingDear Brad,Thank you for your email dated January 2, 2014 requesting authorization to use STAR WARS™, STAR WARS: THE FORCE UNLEASHED™ sound effects and proprietary elements from the Star Wars motion pictures in connection with your modding.

ChalklYne Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 "Hello my name is Brad., I am an avid modder of the Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy game. I have been modding it for about 6 years, and make all original models/ textures/ shaders for it and release it for free.. My concern, is I was going to make a Starkiller or Proxy model, and would like to use the sound effects from the Force Unleashed game along with my original models, so they sound like the real people. This is a non profit mod, I sell nothing or makie any money off anything, it is all done for free and for fun and I just wanted to make sure if I release a model for JKA with a few TFU sounds mixed in will I get sued or something? I see no reason to be sued or pursued as there will never be money made off of it. It is quite a big project and I would like you to tell me if I am breaking any rules since I want to be fully compliant with you guys. Thank you for your time!" now I feel all... inappropriate =/ I feel as if I just lead the orcs right to us... Quick! BURN all the evidence! Circa, negru_tudor and Onysfx like this

afi Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 At least you didn't mention JKHub But what do you expect? Big companies don't give a fuck about mods and modders. They care about cash though.
ChalklYne Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 At least you didn't mention JKHub hmmm... About that... I may have given a link to my mod somewhere at the end... There's only 1 option now fellas... Who's with me?

redsaurus Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 I can't see them actually taking action over making a model of a character even if they do regard it as “inappropriate”, it would be pretty bad PR, but who knows :/

ChalklYne Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 From my point of view the MODS are evil! Don't lecture me, Katana! I see through the lies of the Hub. I do not fear Lucasfilm as you do. The entire activity in general is questionable is what they say. I say fuck em. Put out our own models, textures, shaders, maps, scripts, sounds and pray they dont try to murder us for _humanoid.gla XD "Are we ready to finish what he started?
