Ns Wad Question

I was wondering if for a The Specialists mod map I could utilize NS wads, and, given the author's permission, please specify which ones and where they can be downloaded if they do not come with NS.

The reason being is that my map for The Specialists desperately needs some technology textures, and I do not want to take textures that are not freely offered.

Edit: Oh, and it should be noted that I would make my own WAD from those textures, to reduce the size of the map.

    Can't use the NS wads - Copyrighted for NS only use.

    Really? Because <i>I</i> was under the impression that documents that are copyrighted by the author can have their copyrights changed, and part of that copyright is that any use of the document lies at the discretion of the author. So... if the author gave me permission, <i>which I asked for</i>, I would have permission... <b>Wouldn't I?</b>

    Look at the NS.org FAQ.

    The answer is no.

    You're right, how foolish of me to kindly ask for permission after reading the FAQ, and asking for an exception to be made. How <i>foolish</i>. I can't believe I even thought of asking.

    Edit: This also includes asking for permission from other WAD authors. I never specifically stated I wanted <i>the</i> NS wad, which is what, Naturalselection.wad or some such?

    For the default ones you should ask Flayra, for the custom ones, if they're edits of the originals... you still have to ask Flayra...

    Thank you for reasonably responding.


    Now, this is for the... for the default NS textures? Or did Flayra make these seperately? Just curious.

    Cory "Squeal Like A Pig" Strader (cory.strader@verizon.net) made most of the textures found in the ns.wad and the ns2.wad and some of them were bought (from texture databases?). But the bottom line really is that they are ns textures so I don't think it is likely that you will get permission to use them in other mods.

    For custom textures I suggest <a href='http://www.planethalflife.com/wadfather/' target='_blank'>wadfather</a>. Or google "custom textures" and work from there.

    I can make custom textures, if I need to. But since I'm busy mapping and there are no good technology texture sets for TS, I felt like asking the only community I know of to have an extensive mapping resource group.

    That, and most of the textures for NS already mesh together very well, which would save me a tremendous amount of time.


    Edit: What is this Wadfather, some bad joke? Only the Forums, Gamespy, and Wadfather Gear links work.

    Edit #2: I saw their forums, it's unfortunate they were the victims of hacking.

    Is nos_warning not allowed? Because I am sure that I have seen it in another mod.

    Sorry if I'm being a snitch. I'll leave the mod name out unless someone with power wants to ask me about it.

    Keep in mind, I haven't played that mod in a while, though. Possibly not in it anymore. I'll look into it if a power-packed person wants me to.

    Some of the textures in ns.wad have been bought/recieved from other people, so it's possible that is from, for example, the r25 wad.
