I don't know if someone makes a file free and public and you do not have to register to obtain it, if the file owner can legally enforce that the file not be hosted elsewhere when fully notice and acknowledgement is given to credit the owner.

Major Fubar 0 Posted June 10, 2002 If I understand copyright law correctly, non-official addons made for an existing (copyrighted) game which are distributed free of charge are not covered by copyright law. But I could be wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Antichrist 0 Posted June 10, 2002 2 Avon Lady Well that's exactly my point! I understand that people want to generate more hits for their web-site, but why do it at the expense of the people they made that addon for in a first place? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why should they do 20 clicks to find the some addon at some page when they can get it just by doing one click?<span id='postcolor'> Sorry if having people directed to my site annoys some of you. The idea of me creating a site at DC-3D was to have people visit, see what I am doing and download some models. What harm is there in that. Free to the community does not mean that I have to give up my rights as a model maker. Yes the tools belong to BIS, but the work I create belongs to me. The only thing I cannot do is sell the models. I think a lot of people forget that there is a lot of time and effort (unpaid) that goes into model making. I have no problems if people want to link to my pages. And I do know that you give the proper credit. As to the zodiac. It was just a little thing I was messing about with one afternoon. The addon does have some problems that I am currently working through. The main one is that zodiacs have very shallow draft. OFP doesn't support boats with shallow drafts very well. In the sub I had to cut the hull off at the water line. Several other boats I'm building will have to be treated the same. The dry land bounce has been resolved by using a landcontact lod. But that creates another problem with the craft sitting too high when on the beach. When I lower the landcontact the boat fills with water. However I am working on the problem and will keep you posted. Cheers 8) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, it's also to your benefit to increase the number of fan sites mirroring your addon. All you have to do is to stipulate that they can do so as long as you're fully credited and they provide a hyperlink to your site. To make sure the message gets across, you should also include a README file with your addons that mentions you and provides links therein to further promote your site. You'll get plenty of credit, publicity and visitors by doing these. Oh, and thanks for the nice work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
