Modding FA

[Mr. Box]

Is it okay if I just take a map, mod the FA and spread it away, while of couse still giving credit of the map to the original creator?

If you want to create a version hell, go right ahead :-\ I suggest you ask permission BEFORE modding any FA

[Mr. Box]

You mean ask permission from the original creator?

The point is.. What if I want to mod a map whose creator has died or otherwise unable to reach...

[Jack of Blades]

You raise him from the dead.Ask for permision.When he either gave it or didnt you kill him.If he didnt wright a paper as testament that he alowed you to do it.

Always get permission, if you can't get into contact and you've really, really, really tried (Not as in oh I've sent one email and he hasn't replied in a few days so I'll release) and you still want to release give credit and rename the map so it doesn't overwrite anything.

[Mr. Box]

Yeah about renaming...

I know enough of these .siege and the class/team text files...

But do I need to change the .bsp file when I want the name to be changed?
(Other then the filename...)

Get permission first. A lot of people make the maps and the FA setups, so you're really slapping them in the face if you change their FA without asking first.

What map is it? If it's a CMP map i might be able to help you.

[Mr. Box]

Im not modding an FA now but just so I know when I do...

(Im building up ideas)
