who cares (besides valve... who wont care) .. i vote release it... or maybe you could just send it to me? because i REALLY like it..
So you think the convert is bad? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I'm still waiting for Gabe to call and tell me I'm getting sued for porting HL2 sounds for NS. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Fixed.
oh well
The model looks good, I say release it cause valve never really cares much about it. After all, its for a hl1 mod anyways.

Get it hosted at NSA. They don't seem to care about the legality. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I converted it myself.
Ohh yeah and what about that Half life 2 medpack model that was hosted on NSA?? If that was never argued about why would this be??
Yeah I'de definetly want this to get hosted on NSA.
if it were me, i would just release it and post a link. the worst that could happen is valve could send you a letter about their period and ask you to take it down - something which is very unlikely considering they're too imcompetent to come out with games pomised 6 years ago, much less patrol boards <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Fox and Lucasarts in particular are rabid about shutting down hobby projects that aren't looking to make money. A company only has to demonstrate that they could theoretically make more money with their copyrighted material if it isn't distributed without their permission. Once that is established, it's possible to sue for damages even if you didn't make a dime.
I seriously doubt VALVe will hunt you down or try to stop distribution, but that doesn't change the law--there's no way it'd get approval from NS staff.

Excuse me? Fox and <i>Lucasarts</i>? I can understand Fox, that's where the word "Foxed" comes from, but Lucasarts is about as open as, uh, something open. If they shut down Star Wars mods, then you've got a big list of stuff they're going to crack down on soon:
SW:TA, the Star Wars Total Annihilation mod
Galactic Conquest, the BF1942 Star Wars mod
Troopers, the Unreal Tournament Star Wars mod
New Rebellion and Episode 1, two Homeworld Star Wars mods
Jedi: Timelines, the HL2 Star Wars mod
And many others. Lucasarts lets people do lots of stuff. Mods, fanfilms, etc. The only concievable relation they have to Fox is that 20th Century Fox releases the Star Wars films. Other than that, don't lump the two together anymore.

I'm not sure, the legal waters surrounding this is still pretty murky, but mods will close on sight if you release and hell might close it now anyway. My suggestion is if anyone wants it bad enough they can do it themselves, it really isn't that much of a pain, the only thing that sucks is it wont be nice and shiny like the hl2 counterpart.
edit i was beaten to the punch
