Utility: Online Unit Reference

[Gandalf Parker]

They dont mind that. It wasnt the use in our mods I was trying to warn about. Its the creation of another tool for use by modders. Something that would include the entire image library. Sorry for the miscom.

I think the biggest concern would be seeing them show up in mods for other games. Or even as the main library for another game someone is selling.

Well turning up in some other game for sale,... that they could fairly easily take legal action agaist I would think.

But as for other people using them for mods,.. I don't think that's too terrible. I mean I used graphics from a spiderweb game to make a mod for dom3. Since I'm not selling anything and it's not going to be played by millions of people I don't feel that's morally wrong, though I'm sure it's legally iffy.

If it gets announced here it gets removed. You should probably contact them as soon as possible and ask their permission.

I sent them (spiderweb) an email before and got no reply (it's possible but highly unlikely that the mail server here swallowed it). I can try again. To be honest I'd rather have the mod removed than have to pursue something like a formal physical letter containing express written consent. I mean it's not like it benefits me in any way to make it public, I just figured I'd share something with other people who enjoy the game.

Either way, I have no wish to break the forum rules.

The link to the online unit reference is dead...?

It was hosted on Gandalf's server which should be back in service in about a week.

im pretty sure spiderweb could careless if u use their sprites as long as you dont sell the mod and maybe say where you got the sprites from so if people like them they can go check out spiderwebs games.

p.s. The Avernum series is an awesome series of games.
