Battle Fleet Gothic...

[Ezekiel_980]

Recently I started working on a BFG mod for HW2, However seeing as Dawn of War might have a space based part I don't want to get into troubble with any one for copyright infringement or something along those lines. So I would like to check that it's ok with the people who are makeing DoW if it ok if I continue working on my mod.

[Shadione]

This is up to Games Workshop to decide, not us. We don't really have any involvement on this level.

In a similiar vain...

Will WH40K: DW include Battle Fleet Gothic elements?

[Vijil]

Ezekiel: I have seen GW shut down a number of mods because they were not officially endorsed. Id recommend contacting GW to ensure what you are doing is ok.

[Dawn Falcon]

There are rules to be followed. I'd have a word with the folks behind NetEpic about them.

[Noir]

Maybe after DOW is released Relic's next game will be a BF:G strat game :argh: .

[No1lives4ever]

Hmm, this may be off topic,.... but if i want to make a Hybrid HW2 FPS RTS mod for Half-Life2...
Will this be illegal?
(just getting the units in, like they look in HW2, some more detail though, at least a cockpit where a player can fit in :))

[Kained]

Take the plunge Ezekiel and give GW's legal department an email. I also suffered from the duel emotions of excitement and fear and bugged Shadione, sorry about that.

Excitement because Relic makes some excellent games. Fear because i've been working on a 40k Mod and the IP policy states that a Mod relies on not interfering with license agreements.

They should give you a definite answer one way or the other, i just hope its the answer i'm looking for ;)

If you want to give me a pm, i'm always interested in hearing about 40k mods and perhaps could help you out.

I would say for the Game to have BFG elements at all,
It would probably be bombardments,
Just a thought cause its not so simple to put a 3 km sized ship
on the same map as platoon of infantry

[Ezekiel_980]

Way ahead of you, I read thier legal policy prior to sending my E-mail, It seems sound that a mod is ok but felt varifying this was wiser.

If GW does give the ok I would love more help. I have at least 1 modeler and mabe a mapper and myself to do the ship scripting, but any one can help would be appreciated.

[Ezekiel_980]

Well i'm now working on Evil_Dictator's BFG mod so you could send him a PM about helping.

[calvaYnada]

[calvaYnada]

Evil Dictator's hasen't reply me !

[Metathiax]

Is Evil_Dictator's BFG mod still going on? I was pretty sure it was dead. If so where can I see some more about it, I would love a BFG mod for homeworld 2. Sadly I don't have any skills with which to help so I guess I'll just have to wait

[Rapier]

If you didn't know, there's a mod for DoW being made which is also going ot be A BFG conversion.

You might want to contact them, see if there are models that you could both make use of or something, to reduce the amount of work you all have to do ;)

Edit: post 100 =)

[Dashminus]

Games now days won't last much past the initial release if they restrict the community from releasing content for it. After all, mods don't cost, only add to the customer base, and modders don't make money from it. That would be a shame.
