conversion from V:Bloodlines to Hl2?

[H2HSnake]

Anyone knows if it's possible to convert and repleace models in hl2 deathmach with models from Vampire bloodlines? can anyone tell me how to do it?I want to make the whole pack fighting chicks at least i can skin some of the characters

I have no clue, I assume it wouldn't be too strenuous because the vampire ones are in the same format as HL2 ones, right?

that would be intelectual property theft if you made it public, so be careful what you do.

It'd be more than IP theft if he released them...

naah it's just custom models for Hl2 deathmach everything is allowed since it's free modding end they're edited .

Believe what you want, but it doesn't make you right.

As long as hes not profiting from it, or hurting Trokia's sales who the hell cares! Im sure if anything Trokia would aplaud you for getting the Vampire models into hl2dm, im sure they play hl2 avidly as us as well!

Doesn't work like that. Companies employ lawyers. Lawyers are rather angry folks. Lawyers sue at every oppertunity.

As long as you keep the models to yourself/your close circle of friends, you're ok. Otherwise, you get a cease and decist, and some solicitors giving you nasty scowls.

Im sure that Trokia will NOT sue you for making a non profeted skin from one of theirs. Im am sure that they all play many games including Hl2 and other source powered games. So being fans they would enjoy someone getting those Hottie modles of vampire babes into Hl2M

Wont work anyway, you'd need to re-create all the hl2dm animations from scratch, and somehow get at the model source code to do that.

You wont even get to the IP debate, you cant make them

 

[Glo-Boy]

Why would you want to? The vampire models are like bad cartoons or something. (Game is fun, graphics are mind blowingly awful.)

hmm actually is a matter of recompiling the V:B models and adding them HL2DM animations they're all on source.Did you ever played The specialists mod? there were tons of repleacement models from other games like -Splinter cell, hitman2, and you say it's not possible? it's even more possible than you think since it's on the same engine.Do you think that Splinter cell or hitman 2 are on the same engine as Half Life 1?
if it goes to the lawyers i don't bother at all how could they sue me for something that gives me no profit and it's not official hehe.You're making me laugh.Making a mod with a corp.product models is a risky thing, but making some custom models is no problem at all.How could they even know who made it lol,i could tell i found it on the net.They'll not even bother about this stuff.Editing V:B models is legal and using them in Hl2 is your fun and they have nothing to do with it.You've bought the game,you payed for it and you can play it any way you want it ;p

 

[H2HSnake]

the last thing I've said is not correct.It actually bothers them but if you've bought the both games and just having fun in switching models then it's your fun,it should be for your personal only use,but at least you could send it to your friend and he could send it to another friend etc.So if'll make conversions i'll make it for my own risk and when i release it in at least one place they'll not be able to stop it it spreads out like hell
