Nice but you missed out the bit where you show you have permission to do it.

yeah your right I did forget that part ah well these things happend ey, Ever heard of a Mod called Spider-Man Dynamic Forces on the Q3 Engine? Featured in last months PC Gamer. They dont have permission, how do I know? Use to be on the team. So that doesnt not bother me at this moment in time, if it comes to it, the situation will be dealt with. I am aware that mods do get shutdown because of this. But basicaly its a risk that has to be taken in the Modding, community. Just because my post count is 2 ladies, doesnt mean I know nothing of Mod-Making. Im from Q3 Backing, Been modding it since the day it came out nearly. so Im sure I know enough to keep me going.

But if it bothers some people ill pop an e-mail to the appropriate place and see their verdict.

** Im trying to sound disrespectfull about your concern if I am in any ways, I have taken it into considoration. But when you look down the lists of all Mods. At the end of the day their all Other Ideas, One of the most popular HL1 Mods was ESF which is DBZ. Not their own content the thing is this will be going on in the mod community for years to come. Its part of it, JA (Jedi Academy) has a mod on it Of an Enhancement of The original Dark Forces.

Here's the problem with this one:

You're not just tangling with one big company here.

Marvel owns the comics of course. They could get you easy. But you mention the movies. And all rights to the movies and their licensing goes through Sony, who can be a real bitch at times about it.

But on top of that, there's some other big, very protective companies out there. The one that comes into my head is LEGO. Say you make a map that looks too much like one of their LEGO sets, then well, they can issue as well, but more than likely they'd just go back through Sony, who they have their license with.

It just seems like quite a bee's nest to stir up, especially when a decent video game for the series has already been done.

but is it MP? No, What do most people want out of a game. MP. I sometimes only buy Games to play the MP. And Ive seen LEGO maps for games, theyve been ok. And LEGO has nothing to do with Spider-Man or MARVEL. And it has nothing to do with Sony, All they have is the OK to use MARVEL's character in a movie All likeneses character names logo etc in a Movie
In the end MARVEL Comic's Owns the rights to Spider-Man and have the big say.

Closed, you don't have permission, you show no signs of giving a toss, you hurl sly insults and I just don't like your attitude.

Get permission and it'll be reopened. No hard feelings.
