This might really help Nowtun!

For gods sake, don't release them to garrysmod.org! It's cluttered with pure shit and porno, It would get lost pretty quickly among the pile of crap. Not saying your efforts with this is crap in any way; Just saying it would get lost.
Make a thread on Facepunch, the games official forum, and release them there instead.

That would be most wise, If you distribute the models Lorne Lanning and his Umpa lumpa lawyers would sue.

UMPA is the main representative body for graduate students.

If you put 'Oddworld' as a Tag it won't be lost at all.

I will do, i got a little side tracked though.

But both the paramite and scrab are done, no pictures right now because i've gotta shoot off quick.

Also although i said before i wouldn't be able to do munch because the nif file wouldn't open, but while looking throught the level files i found a munch model on the last level so i'm working on doing munch now.

After munch is done i'll get the glukkons cigs and cigars and put out an early release, call if version 1 and then add the big bro sligs, interns, vykkers and others into version 2.

Ahhh! :)

I honestly can't wait!

but... isn't it naughty to release the models? The models are owned by OI.. no?

Correct. however they are editted to be Ragdolls in Garry's Mod. I'm sure he'll put Oddworld Copyright stuff down too

It should be alright.

As long as he's not making money from it OWI probably won't care. They haven't shut down Paul's AO shenanigans after all.

Paul's requires that you own the original game though, right? You can't extract models from a game and then release them to anybody. You'd probably be fine releasing the tools as a DIY kit. But.. what do you think?

We are fans, and we are allowed to use converted content from any game regardless if it comes from microsoft or nintendo. As long as we release it as freeware.

I think its more like they turn a blind eye, its quite a grey area.

The Models ARE COPYRIGHT by Oddworld Inhabitants, Distributing them is ILLEGAL free or not. It's like burning 100 copies of Avatar and then giving them away for free.

You can use it.. by you I mean really just "you" if you own the game (unless the EULA says otherwise). As soon as you share it with someone else you break copyright laws..

Hi Guys :) http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/2...raisincave.jpg

NICE!

Did you replace Abe with a Slig? Thats hilarious :D

I can't belive it. And then, why do people use 3d dx ripper for ripping copyrighted material and then convert it to work in garrysmod as enemy or ragdoll, and then publishing it on a forum regarding garrysmod or a 3d fangame.

I will share it to the whole world. And the public should enjoy my fan work :) , otherwise this year is going to be useless.

Yes it is wrong to Distributing them on garrysmod.org on the other hand
They're edited versions to work with the Source Engine. If you just say, "Oh and these models aren't mine. there owned by Oddworld Inhabitants" it will be alright
there are tons of models on garrysmod.org owned by different companies and nothing bad has happened

Sooner or later , The copyright powers will remove the best fangames in this world as i have bookmarked in firefox. Regardless if it is a mod to half-life 2 or a similar thing.

here's a thought. Buy the rights :tard:

Please buy valve steam?, you must be as rich as bill gates to able to buy a company. It needs many billions cash.

The models are just ragdolls in gmod, they can't really be used for anything other that poses and gmod videos and are not for profit purposes and thus aren't really breaking any rules.

Over on facepunch people have been porting models since 2005/2006, it's non-profit, and obviously i'm not going to take credit for making the models either.

This pretty much. But I still advise you to just make a thread on Facepunch with a mirrored link to a website that ISN'T garrysmod.org, no matter what people say it is a pile of shit and should be treated such. It's full of people stealing other peoples work, and so forth.

It really isn't.

I'd say Garry's Mod ragdolls probably comes under the same umbrella as fanart: technically breaching copyright, but most companies will ignore it as it doesn't harm them. Not to mention actually suing someone for it would bring them more bad publicity than it's worth.

Bottom line: if you're not making money from it or claiming it as your own creation, developers probably won't care.

In fact, introducing the assets to a new audience can help to introduce the franchise to a broader audience, which directs them to hopefully buying the product where they otherwise wouldn't have.

Without euro demo one and 38 on psx, i would have missed oddworld in my life.

Demo One.. remember that 'Overboard'?? :) And that... kurushi? The one with them cubes, like a puzzle game. Demo One was awesome!

I had another demo disk with 'Haunted Maze' on it, a net yaroze creation (that playstation game making kit). Had so much fun on that with friends and family.

Demo 46 or 48 with metal gear solid? and the net yaroze game list with a 3d fps as uses 2d sprites like hexen.

Found it on google, Demo 42 contained Haunted Maze, and this is a youtube of it :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtl7f5orjm4 (skip to 1:25 for gameplay)

I remember another Net Yaroze game caled Timeslip where you control a snail and every 30 seconds or so, another snail is spawned that repeats your past, and if you collide with your past snails then you die. That was fun

Alright everyone the pack is released.

Enjoy, and stay odd.

Awesome! I can't wait to start fiddling with these ragdolls...!

Too bad there aren't any npcs...

<3

yes
YES!
made my Day!

What you could also do (if you're not already planning on it), is you can add various world props aswell seen around the environment in the game. Such as levers, Vendos, Security Orbs, and other stuff, that would be 2x more awesome in this pack.

They are briliant

1. The sligs uses combine ai with slig sounds
2. The slogs uses headcrab ai with slog sounds
3. The mudokon uses citizen ai with mudokon sounds
4. The scarb uses antguard ai with scrab sounds
5. The paramite uses antlion ai with paramite sounds
6. The glukkon uses citizen ai with glukkon sounds
7. The elum is a car as uses elum sounds instead
8. The flying slig is a shotting helicopter with flying slig sounds
9. The security orb is just a modified combine camera with security orb sounds

That would work nicely, but the Paramite would start flying at times.. :P
And Slogs should use Fast Headcrab AI instead, because they actually run instead of walking like the regular Headcrab.

I got bored
