I am new here and even before I joined this forum I was already working on a map and now I'm planning to upload it but I noticed with the other maps here is that there are always CREDITS...is it okay to upload a map w/out that ?? since most of my imported models were only extracted from other maps a long time ago ...

 

[General Frank]

Extracting stuff from other people's maps is pretty low already, but no giving any credit is just crappy.

 

[scourge069]

I only did that because I can't find SFX's that looks cool for me...sorry bout that and thank you sir..

 

[General Frank]

You don't have to say sorry to me.
You either don't use the ripped stuff or get your map being rejected.

I used to extract stuff off maps too so I could delete them. We like to see credits given so you may want to use the Map Development forum: people might recognize a few of the resources you're using and point you in the right direction.

I'm not deleting stuff I extracted from other maps..I'm only using them in my own map ..and I extracted those stuff from maps like DotA, and other maps I found while surfing google ..

Make a thread about your map in the Map Development. Ask everyone to check out your models and see if they remember where are the models from. Search Hive's model database and see if you can find some of your models there. If you credit at least half of your resources, I suppose it will be acceptable.

thanks mate..I'll do that as soon as I get home..I'm currently at school right now and I don't have my laptop with me...BTW do I need to post the unprotected map or not ???

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

Well, that would be good

It's up to you will you posted unprotected or protected map.
In both cases I will need to open it in WE before moderation.
The problem is that I won't be able to show you errors and give you suggestions in public if you protected your map, especially when we speak about code or any other WE only stuff.

 

[scourge069]

ok ...then its the unprotected one ...thanks

 

[Magtheridon96]

You don't need to post the unprotected map in the Map development thread when asking for model creators though.
You can export all the imports and upload those in a compressed zip file.

And by the way, if you took the Arcane boots Icon from DotA, I scoured the internet to find the creator and couldn't come up with anyone, so just give credits to IceFrog's team.

 

[scourge069]

but what about this ...there were some icons I extracted and there are some cases where I see those icons here in THW or in other maps but they happen to have different file names.. .what do I do about that ?..


sorry bout my english , it's not my first language ..

 

[General Frank]

If the icons are the same, just give credit for them to the right author.
Mind giving some examples?

 

[Dr Super Good]

At least reference the maps you extracted the anonymous resources from.

 

[scourge069]

If the icons are the same, just give credit for them to the right author.
Mind giving some examples?

like PeeKay's BTNTigerStrike icon..I found it in a map(forgot the name of that map but pretty sure it was not from THW)..the file name of that icon there was already BTNBloodBane..

 

[General Frank]

Then just give credits to the right author if you find them here and plan to release the map here too.

 

[scourge069]

ok thanks ....

Isnt extracting recources from a protected map against the rules? Unless they have actualy been publicaly released the author of these recources may not want their models made public.
