Question?

About the moding plagarism stuff...
Could i use someone elses vxl or shp without there permision.
Or could I edit someones vxl and use it.
I'm just asking some questions so i don't get in trouble and so i know more.
please post back.

You can only use other people's stuff if you ask them, and you have to actually contact them, not just give them credit. Don't edit other people's stuff either without their permission.

And, for those of you who are illiterate, I will spice up narboza's comment above with arrows, full capitals and stuff so it can be understood, while also adding my own commentary.

You can only use other people's stuff if you ASK them (no ask, no use, or you're screwed), and you have to actually CONTACT them (may I suggest e-mail or instant messenger?), NOT just give them credit (including the members of your modding team, or man, will they be PISSED). Don't edit other people's stuff either without their permission (again, if you don't get proper clearance, you get ------> XP [<- that means dead, or worse, blacklisted]).
Note: The only reason why I did this, is because I'm feeling a little loopy right now. If any mods see this, and find any language inappropriate, please change it, as at the moment, I can't remember what I was typing about. Speaking of, what was that again? Ah, yes... *keeps rambling incoherently*

Because I have no idea wtf Noo1234 said;

If a resource is public (i.e, downloadable in an obvious place, such as YR:ARG, the forum, etc.) then it may be used freely, however you should credit the original author.

If a resource is not public (i.e, taken from a mod) you should not use without first gaining permission. The author should also be given due accreditation.

If you use an editted resource, you should still credit to original author, and gain prior permission if its not publicly released.

Its actually just a simple matter of courtesy, don't use something thats not yours unless you credit the author. And at the end of the day, vxl's are piss easy to make anyway

So if i got it of YR:ARG(I did well and pixel ops and etc.)
i can use them in my mod?
will i get in trouble if i don't give credit to author(cause theres a lot and you said i SHOULD give credit)
And what if i get them of YR:ARG and also they are used in someones mod(alot off YR:ARG is in supernova)

If you take it off YR:Arg then you must give credit to the author. YR:Arg's voxels are free publically available so if they are used in another mod as well, then that's no problem. You can use the things you find on YR:Arg as long as you credit the author.

ok. thanks. (kinda sucks got like 20-40 units added -.-")
