quantumstate Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 I am not an expert, but I don't think it can lead to legal problem if the models are not using original arts but just redone with similar look. There are similar examples also in commercial games, see e.g this: Cloning the look would definitely come under being a derived work. If people want to work on this they can easily make it a mod, keeping things seperate from 0 A.D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idanwin Posted December 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 If there aren't any legal issues with an AoE mod, I'm willing to continue making AoE-based 3d models (and redo the ones I already made once I have more experience). How do I redistribute the mod? Can I put it on the forum? Or do I use an online storage server (mediafire or something)?If anyone wants to send in any other AoE - fan art models that can be used, please do! I can't do all of the AoE models on my own ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you still wish to go ahead it would be better to not to upload the files to these forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burzum Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Just for fun:Ah, the memories...This should be a mod for 0AD. Don't forget the Age of Empires music as well. That just livens the experience up more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are similar examples also in commercial games, see e.g this: See heres the thing, what if better looking units are made or the orginal ones modified a bit.The mod can be like a remake of AoE lolz Pretty cool.How many agree? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion.Kanzen Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) really nobody one can do a very unofficial mod about AOE. That buildings, I miss them. Edited December 3, 2013 by Lion.Kanzen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are similar examples also in commercial games, see e.g this: I think different rules apply in different countries but I think you are correct. In the music industry this is the way it works... The Verve lost all of the money in the US to the Rolling stones because they directly sampled an orchestration for Bitter Sweet Symphoney. If they would have recorded another orchestra this wouldn't have been a problem. The band Nirvana did get sued by Killing joke for stealing a a main riff for Come As You Are. though, so it is a kind of grey area.

niektb Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) Sure we should make a AoE fan mod. (It was my first game too, I played when I was only 4! :-))I think we shouldn't worry to much about copyright. Ensemble Studios doesn't exist anymore and it is already a very old game right now.

niektb Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Covering music is not prohibited, so why should covering games be a problem? As long as we add our own style and credit Microsoft for the idea it should not be a problem, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
