Warhammer 40000 mod 2nd version bugfix released!

[Nethoras]

I would have to play it to make sure...Sounds good though, but personally I like to have uber amounts of ammo, use it all up, then run back to my chest pick up more ammo and "ma" power warhammer and run back.

Maybe you could have a Ammo Store place where we can buy more ammo...Just a thought.

?? ? ?? ??

Are you asking for the chest in battles to be reintated, if so then,
no and for the ammo store, thats what the merchants are for, however I've upped almost all ammo's amount to make more fights more shooty.

good point, I was thinking of making equpipment handed out according to your rank, and removing sales completly, what do you guys think?

I think you should do that.

Also, am I the only one that sees no boots for the guardsmen?

No Boots: no, people have been complaining about that for like, since highlander released the last version, its been fixed BTW. 
And should we make a poll for the item system, I think that if you were just given equpiment for your your rank it'd be cool, and would decrease the amount of people running around in mismatched uniforms and shiat. Highlander what do you think? I think we should make a pool for public opinon on this matter.

BTW: welcome to the forums

In other words, they have to cancel their mod because their name/mod doesn't give your company enough credit? Couldn't they just add a readme file giving your company credit, and change their name to "Warhammer, A total conversion for Mount & Blade," and continue the mod?

It sounds like you notified them.

Also, it seems to me that this IS a total conversion, and has a warhammer atmosphere.

[Quail]

This is a total conversion, and all disclaimers and whatnot will be included.

[Highlander]

Bohemian Nights,
mind telling us who you are?
Someone from Gamesworkshop, or just a guy who does not have anything better to do than searching the internet for "illegal" mods?

[Yoshiboy]

life sucks then you die I guess. God Damn, this mod steals so many sales from Warhammer it's no wonder they didn't shut it down earlier [/sarcasm]

I hope Bohemian Nights is just a random guy because I couldn't care less. Warhammer Models are ridiculously overpriced today and Warhammer probably makes millions every second.

[Ursca]

I doubt that anything will come of this - the only thing I can see that violating their guidelines is the name of the mod and whether you've got the disclaimer somewhere in the mod/in a readme.

So change the name to something like 'Battle for Karatak IV - An Unofficial Warhammer 40,000 Mod' and add the disclaimer to the zip file and you're set.

I highly doubt Bohemian Nights is an official representative from GW.
If they took an interest in the legality of the Mod, they'd send Highlander an Email asking him to comply with the guidleines.

[Bohemian Nights]

You're quite right, I'm just a random guy that notified GW that the mod does not comply with their IP.

Because I have nothing better to do? No.

Because the mod is a fucking embarrasment? Yes.

[Ursca]

Sorry, but I don't see what your opinion of the mod has to do with whether it's breaking the IP or not.

[Highlander]

Because the mod is a fucking embarrasment? Yes.

Hey, wannabe policeman, I don't think you are in the position to judge whether this mod is good or not.
So, next time you feel like spoiling, please do that somewhere else.

[Apollon-04]

Because the mod is a fucking embarrasment? Yes.

Yeah? And how would you know? Have you played even played Mount & Blade. Get a life. Stop wasting your time trying to make a mod thats legal seem illegal. Go fuck yourself Bohemian.

[Bohemian Nights]

My opinion does indeed matter very little. Nevertheless, it still breaks the IP.

[Yoshiboy]

Well in the end I guess the joke's on you, because I can't imagine GW give a flying fuck about this mod.

[Ursca]

Eh? This mod does not impact GW's profits in any way, and the only conflict with GW's IP is the lack of a disclaimer. - which is merely a formality.
So the only concievable reason you could want to inform GW legal about this 'breach of IP' is to attempt to shut it down because you dislike it.

That just puts me in mind of a child that enjoys kicking down other peoples sandcastles.
