ANZACSAS Steven 393 Posted April 23, 2018 Ok,over the years i have altered some islands to new veg.These islands are old and are not editable.So i swap P3d's inside the objects folder used by the island.Example i would make a copy of a bis object and i would rename it to eg "My_tree" and put this P3d in the addon island object folder.The result is a new tree(bis P3d) would now show up the the addon island. If this object folder with the Bis renamed object inside is released with the island would it break Arma rules/Law? The P3d has not been opened or edited and still requires the game install to call textures etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dedmen 2590 Posted April 23, 2018 Editing other peoples Mods without asking them is most likely a copyright violation. Then also re-releasing them without asking them definitely is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stanhope 409 Posted April 24, 2018 Well I suggest you read the EULA and all other relevant ReadMes in you arma directory. You should be able to find the answer in there. If you've read all of those and are still in doubt look around these forums, i've seen a few thing related to forward porting content in here so you might be able to find your answer. If you're still in doubt after doing all of that, i'm sure bohemia has a legal department you can send an email to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No using vanilla objects in anything is not a problem. Editing other peoples maps is a problem though.
