can we use lost coast content in mods?

[Shinobi]

I know we cant use CS content, so I"m just checking

 

[crackhead]

we cant use css content in mods? then how come so many people decompile em and rip em off?

 

[swiss_cheese9797]

You can use whatever valve content you want as long as you dont claim it as your own and say "hwy I made this". if you use lost coast content, would be a good idea to give valve credit in a readme or on your website.

 

[Shinobi]

I thought you couldn't use CSS content in HL2 mods because in some cases it's a seperate commercial product


I havent been using any cs textures because of that

 

[crackhead]

angry lawyer or somebody quoted something on the eula that seemed to say you cant use css content.

 

[Shinobi]

oh well, just to be safe I still wont use the CSS content,, and the lost coast is moot because all I wanted it for was the skybox which in turn had a sun at a much too low angle

 

[crackhead]

even so i would expect you can use lost coast contents because its like an addon for hl2. i meen its still in the hl2 world and everything.

 

[Shinobi]

I agree 100%, unfortuantely their skybox is just toangled.... may check them out for static props though

is lost coast the only thing to use them leaches that kill you if you go in the water or is that in hl2 also?

 

[Angry Lawyer]

As far as I know, you CAN use other Valve work.

HOWEVER, you can't distribute it with your mod. You've got to add one of those include things in your gameinfo.txt to load the Lost Coast GCF when your game loads. Therefore, only people with Lost Coast can run the mod.

Alternatively, talk to Yahn. He was a Lawyer before he joined VALVe.
