[WB] Crusader-way to expiation

[Revan Shan]

-Really? Are you gonna work on it? Huh?
-No, that's for this mod's team, of course.

It was more a 'yes, and who is gonna work on it? you?'

Well they could make similiar models on their own, right? Delete these taken ones and remake them. That could work. Right?

Yes.

Really? Are you gonna work on it? Huh?

Erm no? What on earth has that got to do with anything? This isn't my mod.

Delete that work and remake it would take them ages that would result in wasting the time they need to finish the mod. And even if they did they would hardly meet Assassins Creed's graphics. And if they did... they would deserve more than the Taleworld's team.

[FrisianDude]

Delay is better than theft, and if they do it they're a really good mod team, but deserving more than the TW team is a bit much. Without TaleWorlds this mod would not be here, dipstick.

[Dain Ironfoot]

Nope, still nothing to do with me..

I'm sorry, are you seriously still saying, after everything you've been told, that you think it's a good idea that they steal stuff so they can get the mod done faster? Because otherwise they'd have to do it themselves? Like everyone else? They'd have to work on it and you wouldn't get your free mod as fast as you'd like? Oh no!

Your general disparaging attitude towards the taleworlds team isn't appreciated either. I honestly cannot believe you think you have the moral high ground here.

Ye gods you really are as thick as clotted cream, which has been left out by some clot until the clots are so clotted you couldn't unclot them with an electric declotting machine.

[Soil]

It might be better if we just drop it. He's not going to understand it anyway.

[Dain Ironfoot]

I don't think he'd understand it if someone nailed a 10 foot sign to his head with "STEALING STUFF IS BAD, OK?" written on it..

"Hey guys, TLD is taking a long time to port, we need a LOTR mod fast, so I've ripped all the assets from TLD and a few LOTR games and pasted them into M&B, but that's fine right because we all want a good game as fast as possible right?"

As DaVinci said "What a berk!"

[Revan Shan]

Ok guys, you win. Just do me a favour, carry this on your sig:

[Dain Ironfoot]

My heart bleeds that you won't get your free stuff.

They can still easily recreate the assets themselves from scratch.

[Sidus Preclarum]

Jesus christ, stop being densely overdramatic and learn to read:

Those being copyrighted models from a commercial game, feel free to post screenshots, but don't think to post a download link with those model assets included.

[Al_Mansur]

Sorry but it's obvious that those models are just very similar and inspired from AC ones, but not stolen.

[Revan Shan]

I think the same but... DUnno. I'll say the same as before. The mod leader should come here and tell use whether they are or aren't. Only he and his team knows...

[SupaNinjaMan]

They don't even look the same, similar, yeah, but far from the same.

[Qwertypolk]

I'll fourth these guys. While they look similar, they don't look stolen.
As I was telling Soil a short while back, ripping and copying are two different things. In one, you start with someone else's work and move it into yours, with another you start with someone else's work simply as a guideline, and build your own.

Ubisoft own the models, not the shapes. If the mod team have built the models themselves, Ubisoft can have no say in the matter, no matter how similar they look. I don't agree with copying, but it is within the law.

[SupaNinjaMan]

Well, if AC is their only source for the architecture, then you can't blame them for using it to build their cities rather than re-imagine it by themselves.

I'm not sure what places those are, so maybe that is what they look like in real life and both teams did a good job emulating the location.

Anyways, you guys are silly for thinking they're the same model, but it's obvious they aren't, so lets drop it?

I can, and do blame them for using another author's models. However, my argument is that the models we see in-game are not the models they used to build their own. I'm certain the models are copied, I disagree that they are ripped.

[SupaNinjaMan]

Well, if that's how the places indeed looked, or if they are the most realistic imaginings of it, what's wrong with it being a source?

(I'm not saying they ripped the models, just used the AC cities as a source.)
