ok rabid i read your post saying that i used your wad well i just wanted to say sorry as i thought the wad was a standard official wad by valve for cs as i recognised the textures on a dust map so i used it for my map and didnt know that it was yours!!!!

So i beg that let me use it or you are stopping a fellow mappers hard work go to waste just because i didnt put yourt name in it. I will put your name in txt and map and site if you really want

that is if you let me use it otherwise your a bad person like scrooge :S

Go on, let him use it, a name and email in the readme are pretty good advertisment.

How do you term "bad person" ?
With out a stupid comment like;
Bad person = Not letting me using texture wad.

who actually reads those text files?

I read them

I do.... I'm mentioned in the readme for Nexus dont you know?
And if you don't read the text files you miss out on important information on where to put files etc.

But i know those things. Unless its something like a pak file that comes with a map.

habboi, I don't think he owns them, doubt he's allowed to let you. Perhaps he'll tell you who he got the permission from himself.

He himself didn't make the textures, but he did assemble them, therefore he owns the .wad file.

And he also credited the original authors of the textures.

Just give credit to those who made them.

Yeah, go ahead and use it, as long as you're crediting me for assembling the wad and credit to Blazeer and the CZ team for creating the actual texes.

(I feel like I've said this in like 3 places, probably have too :P)

Well, obviously I was right Anonymous.

so, correct me if i'm wrong, all Habboi has to do, is to put one or two new textures to this wad file and he will "own" the wad and will not need to ask rabbid for permission to use this wad ?!?!?!?!?!!? :

No, because he didn't assemble the textures, just merely edited the original wad file (which he didn't own).

You should always credit people who made the textures. Who cares who put them in a wad file?

Noone, really

The issue for me was that neither the texture artists nor wad-assembler were credited. Hey, I'd be fine if just the tex artists were credited. If my name goes in there somewhere, it's a bonus

Nah, I think they deserve a good slap myself...
