Snowtrooper model port from TFU

[GLTh3Pr0]

I'm not 100% sure how much is it legal to port a model from another Lucasarts game, but if it is, would it be possible to port the Snowtrooper model from TFU to JA?

I think it's the most detailed version available (aside of DICE's Battlefront one, which I think would be above the transform space limit).

Thanks in advice, dudes!

The original game publishers probably have a different view on the matter in their EULA. That's what you should base your "legality" on.

So you're still free to do as you please, but in terms of legality it's not

To be fair, the EULA has been updated. See http://store.steampowered.com/app/32430/

Yeah, porting from other LucasArts-era Star Wars games is legal now.

I gotta say....* Claps Slowly. * Disney...you may have made some questionable choices....*Glares at Marvel* But....This...it'll help keep LucasArts era games going for a long time in terms of content. As long as it doesn't violate the EULA, that is.

I guess that's good news then, we won't need to make any of those models, they can now be swapped around freely
