Republic at War is a total conversion mod for the game "Empire at War - Forces of Corruption". The mod will replace the Empire with the Galactic Republic and the Rebel Alliance with the Confederacy. The mod will focus heavily on the Jedi Order with emphasis on the Jedi Council. There will be a full Single player Campaign as well as multiple sandbox modes that will allow the player to re-enact various campaigns of the Clone War such as the Outer Rim Sieges. Players will have the choice to fight as the CIS or the Republic and wage war for control of the galaxy. Realism is key and players will have unprecedented control over how and where they fight. Send in a squad of clones or a whole battalion, or use one of the many clone units such as the 501st. Players will have the ability to control such characters as General Grevious, Jango Fett, Mace Windu, Yoda, and many many more.

So here we go again, unveiling a new planet for you all. This weeks choice was again done per many requests. On the various forums we discuss the mod on Korriban was the hands down winner followed by Kashyyyk as a close second. Mapping Korriban was tough. There is not much good artwork available, and what is available leaves much to the imagination. I strived to base Korriban on what we have seen in KOTOR and in the comics. A decimated, devastated planet consumed in darkside energy. The center of the map contains the Dark Valley of the lords, which we had to make about 18 new props for. The orginal map for EAW did not do such a good job of this. Our valley was based on 2 images I located. The rest of the planet is both desolate, and beautiful at the same time. While we wanted to create some new fauna for the planet time constraints prohibited us from doing that. We may still modify one of the stock Rancors and make it into something a bit more intimidating. We hope you like what we have done. Not as much eye candy as this is "dead" planet, but interesting nonetheless.

So DarthAwesome...are you disagreeing with me on the whole "Lucasarts owns SW and everything SW related"?
Because if you *aren't*, you must accept that models, etc, of SOMEONE ELSE'S PROPERTY are fair game once the modders release them. Zerox and other modders have NO rights over those models whatsoever.
If you don't like it, either don't release the assets at all, or create your own original content.
I agree that these models should not be stolen, but they have no legal clame to them as they are using someone elses intilectual property. Furthermore the people who make these mods could never sell their modification as they would be dealing in stollen property. They could also never except money for advertisments, exc...
From a legal standpoint, they would have to go through ILM and lucus arts to gain rights to their models, even if they created them from scratch.
But it is dishonest and low for a person to use a model from someone elses mod, label it, and use it as their own.
creating these models for non comercial use is not ileagal, nor is someone taking that same model and using it for their own non comercial use, doing this is just lazy and dishonest.
I am not saying that lucasarts doesn't legally own it. I'm saying that we should respect the wishes of the person who is spending all this time to make this mod.
"I am not saying that lucasarts doesn't legally own it"
So, there you go. That IS agreement that Zerox has no claim over these models- whatsoever.
Therefore, he has absolutely NO RIGHT to say "You may not, absolutely fucking NOT" use those models. By saying that, he is attempting to claim *ownership* over something he CANNOT own, period.
As I keep saying: if you, he, or anyone else doesn't like that, then go and create your own ORIGINAL material.
He never claimed any legal ownership over it. He just doesn't want people taking it until it's all done. If we do, he'll cancel the mod.
LoL Dont worry, just means you guys are so Flippin' amazing at this stuff that people have to steal it xD xD
for god sake no mod have stolen their models since its not even released yet.... and no they arnt mad on anything atm. Though they will be mad IF someone steals their models.
No one can "steal" the models upon release, because the modders don't actually OWN them. LucasArts holds the copyright on all Star Was related things. Once the models, etc, are released, they're fair game for anyone to use.
Don't like it? Create your own original content.
He has been working for over a year on this stuff and he is doing all this for free. And in return, he asks that we just don't grab his work the day it comes out and use it for our stuff. Is it too much to ask that we wait until it all comes out?
which mod stole their models ?
