Amiros 0 Posted May 9, 2002 Is is allowed to sell a mod, with own addons to people? Does BIS and Codemasters allow it? http://www.game-it.com/frames.asp?PageNo=FRAMES&item=PC0005434 How come Planet Of War is selling theirs? Does Codemasters get any action?

USSoldier11B 0 Posted May 9, 2002 Seriously, you would have to go through some kind of legal process that would pay royalties to Codemasters and BIS to market a mod. I have heard nothing of either company allowing it though. OF team? Any insight into this? I will not pay for anything unless it is official from CM or BIS.

theavonlady 2 Posted May 9, 2002 This could turn out to be another Between The Lines. Me and my big mouth - look! XMP.DE presents Planet of War! Pssssst! Why not download the PoW demo? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theavonlady 2 Posted May 9, 2002 Don't worry about running the demo's EXE setup. It simply adds file PoWDemo.pbo to OFP's CAMPAIGNS folder and file PoWDemo2.pbo to OFP's ADDONS folder. The readme.txt file is copied into OFP's base directory so you might want to eventually delete that for sure. Here's the demo README: </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">PLANET OF WAR demo campaign www.xmp.de/planetofwar This is an example campaign to show that the POW campaign is kept very realistic and enjoyable for everyone. The 3rd mission of this mini campaign contains some new A.I. The A.I. can listen to loud shots and raises alarm. There are security cameras in it,too ! full campaign: You will see the meteors only in campaign intro or in the additional sinleplayer and multiplayer missions (in multiplayer they really add goog action ! The Strategy interface is used very spare in the campaign You just have to use it a few times to secure some beach landing zones etc... So this is our way to keep it playable and realisitc for everyone , and to find more place for our dramatic storyline. Each mission has its own new ideas and options never seen before ! The full campaign has so many new never seen features that we can't list up all here one example: Depending on your score reached in each mission you will be able to develope your character during the campaign by giving him skill points for different abilities. POW includes multiplayer missions, where each side has to build up its base and research new better technologies to destroy the enemy base This base VS base mode is even fun when playing 1 on 1 ...and everytime it is different because every time you develope other weapon systems or other strategy. Additional Coop and singleplayer missions are also on the disc. 3 more new campaings from other autors will be on the CD too We also provide future support for 1944 and Resistance That means you can use the strategy engine in those mods, too - if you want to ! to preorder POW mail to info@xmp.de (write down your address) more infos on www.xmp.de/planetofwar have fun =)<span id='postcolor'> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theavonlady 2 Posted May 9, 2002 Well, I played the demo. One major bug, one minor one. When I started the mission the first time, none of the voices were heard. I pressed ESC and restarted the mission and the I heard them. That's minor. Big bug! When I went to the next to the last box and picked up the M16+M203, there was no ammo! I tried getting M16 magazines from back at the first box but it wouldn't let me take the M16+M203 with me (chained to prevent theft? ). So I couldn't finish the mission! Other than target practice and some nice structure addons, I fail to see the attraction of this demo. Anyone else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theavonlady 2 Posted May 9, 2002 Another bug: I could easily walk through the target box front walls to the other side where the ammo boxes were located. They must have been built by the same housing subcontractors that were used to build Dourdan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theavonlady 2 Posted May 9, 2002 FYI, I emailed XMP, reporting the bug(s). Am I the only one that's played this so far? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordZach 0 Posted May 9, 2002 it's legal to sell a cd-version with the mod on it in the U.S. i believe but i don't think you can charge for more than cd cost+shipping Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
