[?] copying house design from other maps?

[Burton]

Hi all,

Let me explain.

I'm currently working on a 2km scale version of Fallujah orientated around the happenings of Operation Phantom Fury.

Involved in this process is the placing of houses. I have some 70 streets to do, each with an average of 40 homes per side. This is a pretty mammoth task, what's more, I was planning on making a set number of houses that I could repeat through the level. I have no problem doing this, and I've already started doing so, but it would be a great time saver if I could also use houses already created in other maps such as Al Basrah and Fallujah West.

What is the acknowledged way of doing this? Should I approach each person who made a map and ask to use houses contained within their level, or do I just use them regardless and give full credit to them on the release of the map? I don't want to piss anyone off, so thought it was best to ask the modding community how they would do it.

Cheers, Burton.

If it's in PR mappers are generally allowed to use it. The mod acknowledges the people who make the objects, and every static contained within the mod is normally given credit to it's creator but if your making something for PR it normally isn't considered your property any more but rather, your making it for the good of the mod.

I am quite sure you will find you can use every static besides those stated in this thread:

Unless the creator of the object/building specifically states that their object can't be used in any other map but the one it was made for (which as far as I know, is yet to happen), then your in the all clear. I know in my map I use many PR statics and I have never seen a dev state that you cannot use PR made objects.

I'm not talking about modelled statics, I'm talking about the houses that come in "kit form".

This is one I made;

Its honestly better to make them your self. You can make them to fit for the area they need to go. And watch the amount of objects you place. Use some other static's cause there is a limit of objects and a amount before it lags out.

If you are asking can you use the assets on another map for your PR map, yes there are there for everyone.

If your planing on copying the statics file (copy the layout) I would ask first.

If you plan on using the assets out side of the mod no.
