Looking For Hl Mappers And Modellers

ModChaosControl

<div class="IPBDescription">for a new project</div> I need some half-life mappers and modellers for a new HL mod/game i'm starting based on the <i> Alien </i> movies.

Email me (modchaoscontrol@hotmail.com) or post here if you are interested.

You'll be foxed/sued if you use the name and likliness of Aliens. Just an FYI.

I'm going to have to actually say that FOX would just ask them to cease their creation of the mod if they deemed it threatening to any of their profits.


There seems to be a large number of Aliens based models floating around...just ask people if you can use them...they're not overly hard to find.

[although, I'd like to pimp my impending CL map...where you get to run around and shoot respawning HL enemies in a cool looking cave place thing.]

Did you even get permission to advertise before you started this topic?

I know there are aliens ones, but they are for Half-Life deatchmatch, so in single player they are half way through the floor, and i need an Alien replacement of the half-life zombie.

Most "Aliens" models are for NS, and just trying to stick one model in another's place wont come out right, you'll have to re-animate it.

I'm gonna assume that you have a decent coder or so right? =P
And the mod is planned out properly and in great detail to prevent the deadline-destroying effect of feature creep and give the project direction?

Not that I can talk considering my past mods XD

I can't remember where I read it, but there was a good article explaining this.

In short, any and all companies have to ACTIVELY pursue any breaches of trademark/copyrights, otherwise the trademark is deemed invalid or whatever. So in short, they are legally obligated to go after the little guys, or else they lose their multi-billion-dollar trademark licenses.

They're not just doing it out of spite. So watch yourself - you make any half-way popular mod, and they're going to come and tell you to stop, or they WILL take you to court.
