-- [ Converted text/html to text/plain ] Valve owns the copyrights? I thought that the creators of CS would have some sort of copyright to it, even if it is a retail product.

The weapons that you are =>talking about are from the =>multiplayer version of Counter-Strike (not =>Condition Zero). I'm pretty sure =>that if you are asking about using content from =>Counter-Strike (the =>multiplayer game), you would need to get =>permission from Valve. => =>Valve has stated in the past that you are free =>to take content (maps, =>models, sounds, etc.) from any Valve MOD and =>use it in your own MOD as long =>as you aren't making money from the MOD (i.e. =>selling it). Since =>Counter-Strike is a Valve owned/copyrighted =>work, and you are talking about =>taking weapon models from Counter-Strike (not =>Condition Zero), I would think =>Valve's previous policy of allowing MOD makers =>to borrow content would still =>apply here. => =>Jeffrey "botman" Broome => =>_______________________________________________ =>To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or =>view the list archives, please visit: => http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo =>hlcoders => => => ================================================ Steve Rukuts Wrench Software Webmaster / Co-Founder / Original Design: Operation: Messiah ------------------------------------------------ e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 98613165 ================================================ The contents of this e-mail may be confidential.
