Ported Model Submissions Questions

[MasterWarlord]

Hey, I do a lot of work with ported models and figure I would ask some questions about the process here, as I have a lot I could potentially dump, but may be better off on other websites.

1: Can I submit ported models with animations made by another WC3 modder? Assuming I have done the rest of the porting/bones/etc. I can still give credit to those who made the animations.

2: The rules are a bit vague about this: Can I just upload ported models made by others assuming I give them proper credit? I know you cannot reupload models that are not ported.

If you ask the person who made the animations and they allow you to then it is totally fine.
Same goes for 'just ports' ripped by others. You should always give credit AND include those people as authors.

Well, the next question comes up if the author of the model/animations is gone off their accounts for a decade+.

You should try too reach out regardless and you must give credits and set them as authors.

So to clarify, if I ask a long dead person and get no response, can I submit it or not? Assuming I still credit them as authors?

I have seen maps on this site get approved when continuing work of dead authors.
