    Permission for modding SKYRIM - GOTHIC 1

    Hi everyone! I have read the rules and license for the GOTHIC modding and as long as it's free (as it always should be) and doesn't offend anyone I should be able to use GOTHIC assets without any problems. Fact is, I am not a lawyer myself so maybe I didn't understand everything as meant to be understood.

    THE REAL QUESTION IS, since the license doesn't actually specify anything, CAN I USE THE ASSETS FOR MODDING OF OTHER GAMES?



    Here's a license copy, both in english and with the link in german for those of you that read it better in the main language:

    License for non-commercial use of modifications
    (GothicMOD license)

    To provide a work under the terms of this license for free use by anyone available, the work must be accompanied by the following notice in well perceive. It is also recommended to include a copyright notice, which includes the year of first publication and the owner of the exclusive rights of use (name or commonly understood abbreviations).


    Copyright (c) 20 [yy] [owner of the exclusive rights of use].
    This work can not by anyone in the commercial form
    be used in accordance with the provisions of GothicMOD license.
    The license conditions under http://www.gothic2.de/mod
    or available at http://www.piranha-bytes.com/mod.

    Original available in German here:
    http://www.piranha-bytes.com/addon/mod/lizenz/


    This license is intended for mods of Gothic/Gothic2, but as I understand the text there is no limit to use it in other games (Bethesda's license says that they acquire the rights of our material, we have to add a copy of the license text so that they acquire the license as well).




    So, staying by the things written in that license I can use everything as long as it's free (as all mods on the nexus are) right? u.u Please tell me it is so otherwise I have to throw 3 months of work into shit (and excuse this gross word).


    Thank you in advance!

    I take it that your idea is to make a mod for Skyrim that uses some armor/weapons/people from Gothic? Well if you head over to Skyrim Nexus, you'll find MANY mods that are inspired by different game/movie/books series, and even copy stuff used in them to Skyrim. So if that's what you want, there's no way that could be illegal

    EDIT: Wow, wouldn't it be a fantastic idea to remake G1 on Skyrim's engine? It sounds really nice to me, I can picture a lot of classic G1 locations with Skyrim's graphics...

    Oh MY! That looks pretty amazing!!! If you guys need some help, count me in! I'm still a Creation Kit beginner, but I can do some simple stuff, if you're interested
    My question is, will you be adding some new content to the game (like more quests, weapons...) or will this be a perfect remake?

    I wonder: How long have u already been doing that stuff with remaking G1?
    How long do you think it will take more? I don't dare to hope less than 2 years.

    thats AMAZING! I'm watching those videos and everything seems to be in such a different way.
    I remember there was similar topic about recreating old Gothic game on a new, modern engine - and people participating in that chat were so sceptic. guys - your whole job looks like a massive project! I wish you lots of patience and hope you gonna update this thread with news quite often!

    Its made on the engine called "the creation engine" made by Bethesda - they used it to make a game called Skyrim, that game supports mods, in fact, with experience you can make pretty damn good mods.

    Its not that great on an engine, It can't really load that many NPCs before slowing down (25-30 - lower on low-spec machines), but otherwise its pretty good.

    I didn't know u made in on the engine used for Skyrim, that's why I asked Though it would be logical Omg, so stupid...
    How will the fighting system be? Skyrim-like I hope.
    Note: I dislike Skyrim's wolves, they are running around like they're fleeing, while they want to kill you.
    I guess there won't be any horses...
    How big will the map be? I hope a bit bigger actually.
    I hope u will use the awesome magic visuals of Skyrim Not the dull ones from Gothic. I don't know anything about modding, so this could seem weird.
    Maybe the above questions are naturally implemented...
    Will there separate maps for the Camps, caves and bigger outside structures? Like the castle of that lord? (harpies)
    Not only the mine of the Old camp...
    How will u implement crossbows as Skyrim has none?


    Well, I'm done asking for now

    "Its not that great on an engine, It can't really load that many NPCs before slowing down (25-30 - lower on low-spec machines), but otherwise its pretty good."
    I don't have problems in 'crowded' areas... But I have to agree, Skyrim ain't that full of people...


    PS: remaking G2 and then let the Dragons fly after they're done talking Could be smth. Same goes for G3.

    Perhaps you haven't read the companion thread in GD? PB have forbidden them to make this mod - they do not want anyone to recreate Gothic on any other engine. Probably because it could interfere with the sales of Risen 2 or whatever their latest might be when the mod is released.

    To quote his post:

    PB has turned down similiar requests in the past.
    Correct.
    What OP intends to do is NOT covered by the modkit's license and we will NOT give permission to do so.

    Zitat Zitat von Blubbler Beitrag anzeigen
    However they never actually did sth, when it was still done anyway.
    That's not correct. 'nuff said.

    Zitat Zitat von Blubbler Beitrag anzeigen
    Example: Modders ask, if they can use the G1 maps for G2 mods.
    Using gothic assests in another Gothic (Gothic == Gothic 1, Gothic 2, NotR, Gothic 3) is another case. While strictly speaking not allowed either (!) we have indeed refrained from taking action against that and so have other license holders like JoWooD.

    Zitat Zitat von Blubbler Beitrag anzeigen
    You would be safe, if you made the installer get its data from the Gothic folder, but I assume this is not possible.
    No he'd not be safe.

    maybe there is a chance...
    you could try and submit your work to PB and ask their permission, there is a chance they might feel sympathy!

    ...or you could just follow the example of hundreds of other modders and simply not give a fuck about what PB has to say on the matter.

    Well, there's quite a few things I like. Recreating gothic 1 is one of them... but not on Skyrim engine. It's the worst engine in history, if we talk about combat.
    Seriously... unless you tweak the combat system aswell, to be like gothic combat then I'd say go for it... but PB has forbidden this stuff anyways.

    Though I like the looks, really, it looks fantastic, I felt the desire to go back to play G1, which is precisely what I will do now. After this: I agree with others, do a gothic INSPIRED mod. I'd download it, even would dig my skyrim DVD from the trashbarrel, to try it out. But only if you try and make the combat system better. Looks don't give all. It's the SYSTEM. Strength, Dexterity, Mana. That's what I want. I also, more than anything, want my gothic combat CONTROLS. Hold down mousebutton and use directional keys LIKE A FUCKING BOSS. No spamming. I understand the modkit of bethesmeg gives you limitless opportunities, so creating a -smart- system on it, should be possible, or people should sue Bughesda for wrongful marketing.

    Yeah, well, there aren't that many free and easy accessible engines these days.
    Year, combat sucks, Gothic 1/2's combat is pretty much almost perfect to me.
