I just opened up the SCR_ExplosionGenerator and still try to understand all those lines. I'm not buying that this is some sudden change of heart when the mod was born in the shadow of Battlefront, but if it was, how about you guys just hand over the assets to some people who aren't afraid to finish it? We have enough let downs with mods on a regular basis to watch this one die as well.First of all i am quiet new into scripting and actually learning by exploring the Enfusion workbench. I think this is more about a team collapse as evidenced by developments mentioned during the Storm Trooper release, or perhaps a loss of interest. There are so many courses of action that could be taken to avoid lawsuit (which would never come anyway- I am speaking from a point of expertise here) that is is rediculous: they could remove Star Wars from the name, they could tweak the name of assets or change a few details so as to avoid potential issues, or they could be like OPTRE and not give a darn, because nothing will happen. The more I think about it the more I am convinced this isn't about lawsuit fear, that I think is a red herring. On another note, why is the modding community for Arma 3 such a mess? The mods in this game don't hold a candle to the last couple Armas.ĭoesn't EA/DICE own the rights to Star Wars games? They have demonstrated plenty of intestinal fortitude in the face of AAA IP holders, and they have already made a mod with. I cannot say that I will be very interested in any type of independent product from you guys, as I feel this situation demonstrated a lack of foresight that will not transfer well into Indie game development. This mod was announced when freaking Battlefront was on the horizon! How could you have not weighed the costs more carefully! I cannot but help feel that internal problems with the team is more the reason for the cancellation than a sudden and inexplicable fear of C&D/Lawsuit. I made a post on another forum stating that when the Storm Trooper thing was so delayed, it was the beginning of the death throes of the mod. You guys should have thought about this before even starting the mod, much less jerking the community through a bunch of hype just for the mod with fancy trailers and release plans, to (predictably) be cancelled. now that you have contacted Disney they know about you so if this mod ever starts up again without their express consent. Sorry folks, but you simply can not in any way shape or form use/copy/distribute/modify/derive from/etc/etc/etc copyrighted material without proper licensing or consent from the property owner.Īlso, keep in something in mind. Folks don't seem to understand how much time this stuff takes and to spend all that time working on something that can be taken at anytime when you could spend that time doing something that can't be taken away seems more like gambling then modding. There are no loopholes and there are most certainly no instances where it's ok to copy/use someones copyrighted property without their express consent. I don't understand why they can't understand ownership is ownership period. They don't have any risk in asking you to risk yourselves. The folks on here want this mod thus making them blind to what could actually happen to you guys if you keep working on it. Sorry to see this happen but you guys are making the right choice. We will but truthfully I doubt Disney would come back and say ok.
