Asking permission/Apologizing

[DeBiese]

Hi there everyone.
I'm a newcomer in mapping and I just released an ALPHA version of my first map. Now I immediatly got the comment that I used meshes/textures without permission or credit. So now I 'm looking for that permission and also I want to apologize for not doing it sooner...

The meshes are from the mesh package HourmeshstuffX3 and the textures of HourstuffX3.

Is there a problem in me using them?
Who do I give credit when I'm allowed?
Let me know, I'll make sure credit is given.

Btw, I took my map back offline...

Those two packs are made by Hourences. PMing him to ask for permission would be best.

I always thought it was alright as long as you give him/her credit along with the map.

No, you have to get permission. The author, as owner of a copywright on the material, has complete say in what happens with the material.

The map CTF-Addien-Dwy came with the notice "Authors may NOT use the static meshes/prefabs from this map without explicit permission." That's not the JB version of the map, but since it's the very same mesh package in question it's fairly relevant. So definitely talk to Hourences about it.
