Stupid Question: Gimme Credit???

[Doodi]

Thats the dumbest question in this site!!! But im not afraid of anythin!
What the heck is Gimme Credit???

To give credit to someone is to write that person at the map's credits for doing that thing, and not letting others assume that you made it. If you use some other peoples resources in your map but don't give credits to those people (as in thanking those people for helping you by making skin x or icon y) it is like stealing those resources.

Yes, you definately should. Just because other people are, ******* idiots you don't have to be one, right?

Give credit or DON'T use other people's resources.

Or, you can be the lazy one and say thanks to all who made the models in my map, works either way.

This answer is too late after i wrote a big list of ppl!!!

NOPE! Cos a person who download it would have no chance to know who made it, and might want to use it, but couldn't give credit.

Also, I would be pissed if someone used one of my resources and just said thanks, without telling who they thank.

Metal_Sonic, your way of giving credits ain't much better than stealing!

i think it would be kind of troublesome to go back and search for the list of people. just post a quest for further thanks and if someone messages you, just add them to the list of thanks in your coming version. oh and dont mind me but... i prefer to see "credit" as an english word instead of a warcraft 3 term... my bad.

You mean like this:
"Thankts to:
-person1
-person2
-personN
"
?

That's not credit. You have to tell what resource is made by who.

SO WHAT??? If you can't give proper credits and it's to much trouble for you, DON'T USE OTHER PEOPLES DAMNED RESOURCES! your way of creaditing is n00bish, do your think everyone would download your crappy map to ever see it?

Blade * guess what I'm thinking *

 

[DarkShadow]

Mods could get angry if they find maps without credit (if they know the imported resources).

 

[N00byStance]

Only one right way of giving credits:
"All custom resources used in this map and their authors:
-CoolSword.mdx & CoolSword.blp, person1
-BTNCoolIcon.blp & DISBTNCoolIcon.blp, person2

Thanks for your work!

All resources were downloaded from www.wc3sear.ch."

[N00byStance]

Credits for me? for models or tip? :lol:

 

[qwerty]

i would go back to find the person's name to give proper credit, but what if you took like 30 items from different authors? are you going to find them 1 by 1?

 

[N00byStance]

Yes I do exactly what did you say if I use others' resources.

Yes, and if you didn't wrote it down when you downloaded it you've obviously not the wisest person I know.

If people spend hours/days/weeks/months/years, depending on how slow they are, making resources, do you really think that it is correct not telling who made it when you use the resources?

Now, better find all authors or delete all the stuff you didn't make yourself. And don't cry, it's not the hardest thing to credit people, it's actually harder to make the resources.

Have a nice day/night depending on where you are in the world.

 

[Metal_Sonic]

Well, in the only map I've released here, I gave credit to the others, but what I'm saying is reality, you can't expect everyone to credit everyone for everything they download. I know, they're expected too, but most people won't go the trouble.
I'll be honest, if someone used one of my models, I wouldn't really care if they gave me credit or not. All my stuff that is released is based on existin g Blizzard material, so I really don't care either way.

 

[Joey.]

Honestly, if you're making something for credit, you shouldn't have made it at all - or even submitted it.

Maps are made as a whole, yes, I do give credit to whoever I know I've gotten the resources from, but seriously, who really cares?

 

[Blade.dk2]

... is based on existin g Blizzard material, so I really don't care either way.

Yes, try to make a spell from scratch and see how long times it takes if you want quality. Then you would want credit for your work.

I haven't looked at your resources, but my experience is that people who don't want credit for their work, usually only made stuff so crappy that they don't even like it themself.


And people not giving credits in their map usually won't do it because they are idiots, or because their map is cr@p, while the imported resources aren't and they want to look like they can make un-crappy stuff.

Honestly, if you're making something for credit, you shouldn't have made it at all - or even submitted it.

Shouldn't we? I know there's a lot of idiots here, but still you can submit it, I do know people who use resources by other and gives credits.

 

[Mecheon]

If you don't give credit to someone making something, you get into those stupid situations like with Xaran's Goblin Jet in Darky's goblin bomber spell map

Also, I'm pretty sure its illegal by the Internet Copywrite Law to not give credit if you're using someone else's material

 

[Metal_Sonic]

Well, I have to admit, my resources certainly aren't great, but I'm sure lots of people will find a use for them. Besides, that was months back, and I've learn a lot since then. I've begun scratch modeling as well, and it certainly takes time, especially exporting :? But, I see what you're saying, but next time you don't have say my models are bad just because were talking about credit.

I never said your models were bad. I just spoke about how things are in general.

Well, that's what I got out of it. But, let's just forget about it now. Forgiven and forgotten, as they say.

just like how it was troublesome to download all those models in the first place. if youre not willing to look at who uploaded it, then you shouldnt have the model in the first place. better yet, the author shouldnt have uploaded it in the first place if his work is not going to be recognized.
