One must download the images you put? Because I downloaded a file with your link, I put in the mod, its changed nothing at all, unless I'm wrong, what is possible, so can you explain to worst of us how to put your changes in our mod ^^

Do you have permission to be releasing your reskins?

[Alcatraz]

Do you have permission to be releasing your reskins?

 

You need a permission to do it for yourself? Because it gave me an idea, I'm trying to do everything on my firefighter gear

Yes I have permission and that's the reason why I am no longer using EMP and haven't been.
Too much of this "you need permission to release that because it has a flower I made on the map" crap going on. It's FREE. If you want copyright laws to be in effect for something you created, the go though the patent and copyright process and spend over $1,000 U.S. Dollars.

Bottom line folks, feel free to use whatever you want.

To those looking for the reskins I must apologize, I uploaded the wrong file, here is the correct link: https://mega.nz/#!XE...l50Up12jTkMpyYs

If you are doing it for yourself then no you don't  need permission just do not post the images on here otherwise they admin will probably say oh do have permission to do that.

[army*fire]

Yeah...seriously...

Your skins are really beautiful and very successful, I put white with red and blue stripes.

All firefighters are volunteer firefighters on the map? I thought it was only the small barracks at the bottom right which had

What program do you use for your skinning?

[ENG51INE]

disregard this post, it has apparently caused too much confusion.

[MikeyPI]

Your other post was actually unaltered just a note added to the bottom of it stating the truth in the matter, not what you want to believe it to be.  Frankly opinions like that is exactly why nobody wants to take the time to create new content anymore, all everyone wants is to have their efforts respected, but ultimately that is apparently too much to ask and people feel the need to justify stealing other's efforts.  If you don't want to be here anymore, then feel free to leave the site, but not liking what you have to say has very little to do with it.

 

If everyone respected one another, things could be different, but that's not what certain people want to have happen.  The funny thing about the drama you speak of, is that you yourself are attempting to create more of it.. You can feel free to compose a message or not, that is up to you, but to each their own right.

 

Have fun moving forward. Perhaps you will learn to respect people later on for the time and effort they put into things instead of justifying ripping them off, though I highly doubt that you'll change unless you yourself take the time and effort and do things to have others disrespect your wishes with regards to it.

Man what happend to EMP!

[cops]

It would appear that a certain moderator does not like what I have to say regarding ownership of mods.  As I stated before, if you want to use any aspect of the Mayberry, Manchester, or Boston mods, feel free.  They ARE NOT protected by copyright laws and all components are available on a public forum which does not require payment to obtain them.

 

With this being said, Boston Mod Guys Modding Team is officially announcing that we will NO LONGER BE USING EMERGENCY PLANET.  There has been way too much drama on here.  I did compose a very lengthy message to send to this said moderator, but it is really not worth the time and effort anymore.

 

I know this will probably be edited to make it look like I wrote something totally different like my other post was, and you can go ahead and ban me or block me or whatever it is you do, don't really care anymore.

 

okay bye

Woah woah woah. So that means that because you used my content in your mod, it means its automatically yours? I'd like to chime in because your mods use a lot of my stuff.

 

My content is free to use, yes, but you need permission to use my things, and you need to credit me. If you feel that you don't like those terms, then the only right thing for you to do is remove my content from all your mods. Its simple really, you can credit me and not whore out my things to random people or you will have to take my stuff out. Thats my say in it because it involves my things.

 

Goodbye, and good luck with your modding endeavors.

 

Man what happend to EMP!

A number of self righteous members decided its okay to screw over content creators. They then complained when these content creators fought for their rights. These members then decided to make the whole thing an issue and blame the content creators instead of themselves for starting this whole mess. The community then splintered into two factions, majority one that finds stealing as acceptable, and the other small minority who make new content but are unwilling to share due to the bad attitude of the majority.

 

Then when called out on the thefts/lack of crediting/violation of rules, they cry "oppresion" and then blame everyone else. The content creators who get screwed over again and again (like me) then decided to leave the site for good. The majority modders such as this guy decided to leave the site and go to another one (Facebook probably) where there are no copyright rules, so that they can use whatever the heck they like without impunity.

 

Trouble is, that the only mods left for EM4 are now just reskin mods, now that no new models are being produced. And the only ones to blame are the people who just want new mods regardless of quality. The authors of these so called mods are also to blame. They have their fancy Facebook pages, clan websites and whatnot, as if they're so great. Fact is, that these things are just gimmicks to increase popularity and not improve quality.

 

The drama is not caused by content creators at all, but by the reskin mod authors who claim oppresion, and the entitled members who feel that it isn't fair that model makers ask for credit. They say that "oh, EmP has become a sh*thole, lets revolt and pillage". Then they form other sites to compete with EmP, but at the end of the day, Em4 modding as a whole is going to die because of the actions of these reskin mods and their authors. The community is also responsible in large for accepting this kind of behavior and attitude.

[Handsup!]

Jesus. 

 

I agree with you though; the reason reskins are popular is because mods with new models (a famous example being RCMP mod) take a while and impatience grows.

Not just that. People dont give a **** about mods. New models or not, they will applaud it anyway. I could model this

and put a lightbar on it and it would be hailed as "unique" and "nice" and "awesome".

 

The entitled views of the majority don't care about time, effort, respect, dignity, credits, and how mod authors have lives outside of Em4.

 

The number one thing I hate though is the persecution complex by some members "OOH THE OPRESSION!1111 I CANT STEAL MODELS!!1111"

I know this will probably be edited to make it look like I wrote something totally different like my other post was, and you can go ahead and ban me or block me or whatever it is you do, don't really care anymore.

A good example. Where did you get the idea that the moderators would do such a terrible thing such as censoring you? Or banning you? What wrong have you done besides stating a fallacy? The moderators here aren't proactive. They only deal with you when you are in the wrong or commit a violation of the rules. None of them are out to actively get you in the way your statement implies. They're too busy with real life to give a damn.

 

And running to Emergency Europe won't save you. As stated by NFK, he and Stan can complain to the webhost of Emergency Europe to have any offending content taken down. If anything, that site will go down along with Em4 modding as a whole.

 

Until the more mature and respectful members are allowed by the majority to stand up for themselves, Em4 modding will die and basically be relegated to the same 20 vehicles in different skin colors. Reap what you sow.

First of all, Emergency 4 modding wont die, because there are more communities in the world other than Emergency-Planet. 

 

Seriously? People don't care about mods? People will always applaud a modification, because nobody is a EM4 modding god (or thinks that he/she is) and everyone starts from the bottom. In my 6-7 years of modding in Emergency 3 and Emergency 4, I learned to envolve, to combine my skills and most of all, to respect and support the work of others, no matter whether they were good or bad, because what people need is encouragement and that's how modding envolves. Nobody can start a full scale modification without the knowledge that a modder with 5+ years of experience in modding has, with a long history of failures (yes, because they also make part of the work in a modification) or knowing all the rules, because I didn't when I started and experience taught me how to proceed.

 

Besides, who cares about wether mods are reskins or not, anyways? The German (and European) modding community, is basically 90% reskins with models that are free to use (wow, just look at that...). And still, people like the modifications and support them. Why? Because that's precisely how a modding community works. A project can start as a reskin mod, but end as a full scale modification with new models, scripts, lights because people are encouraged to push to their limits and try their best in doing something different. I also was the only modder working in a Portugal Modification for about 2 or 3 years and lots of people were (and currently are) using my stuff, totally natural. I felt that my work had a purpose, I didn't pushed people down when they tried to do something different, I explained that things need to be credited and supported them through their works in their own modifications, because that's what experienced modders are supposed to do. To teach people.

 

Also, are they going to complain and exterminate the German and other communities, too? Because those are totally different than what you see here, they share materials and most of their modifications are reskins and use the same stuff over and over again, still, the community and experienced members support the authors and encourage them to envolve, by offering help, models, skins and knowledge or do you think that their database came from the sky by parachute? Besides, you don't see any conflicts there, because nobody in there has conspiracy theories that people are taking their stuff and saying they did it. If there's any issue with credits, a simple friendly PM or post will solve the issue.  Take CCC for example, a modder joined all the models in the EM4 world, reskined them and made the biggest civillian vehicle pack in Emergecy 4, nowadays, people are using the models featured in that modification as a base for their own modifcations and you don't see anyone crying about it or taking their modifications down. That's how modding works for them.
