Editing an other users resource...

[Jack_Sparrow93]

I was just wondering, cause I couldn't find any rules about it. Are you allowed to edit on an other users resources, if you give credit and if he/she hasn't said anything else? Cause the creator of the skin I am thinking of has been inactive for a while and there is no way to contact him...

So how is it working? I will just change the haircolor and some really minor things in the face... So it will still be recognizeable...

I think it`s the key. He wasn`t online for very long time, so you can edit but must give credits.
However I`m not sure at all.

 

[Jack_Sparrow93]

Not a very long time, just a bit more than a month...

 

[krisserz]

Oh, that`s not so long... I don`t know then. You should ask moderator.

And by the way is it WE realated that it`s in World Editor Help Zone?

 

[Jack_Sparrow93]

Dunno really where to post it...

Maybe here: Texturing & Surfacing

Moderator! Help! xD

Stop bumping every single day, you still have 24 extra hours to wait.

Edit it and if he's back, let him know of your work. You can't possibly predict his arrival. I advise you to be patient on the publication of your resource though.

 

[Jack_Sparrow93]

Yeah, but how is it working, am I allowed to do it or not?

 

[Pharaoh_]

People that edit others' work and they are long gone have no problem, as far as the author is credited. Simply state his absence and you'll be fine, don't worry. If you meet any trouble, let the moderator know that I encouraged you to do so.

 

[Jack_Sparrow93]

Ok, thx

Wow, this is the thing about the Hive that I haven't been able to get. The things you make and post online, aren't yours anymore, anyone can take them, manipulate them, and you have no legal rights over them at all. Is that skin patented? NO. So you can take it and edit it and see, if you edit it, its your own original work now right? Your own version? Also no one really asked blizzerd if we could edit their skins/models or anything. :|
