<div class="IPBDescription">am i allowed</div> i just found a new mod called zombie panic. however i am displeased with the maps for it. i would love to release a version of my co map for it. but i would have to use NS textures for it. is that allowed. or would i have to start from scratch?


I searched but did not find a definative answer.

    Its other mod :/ NOT NS i cant use it textures made for NS in other mod (only if creators of the mod let you). Sorry i think you should make textures your self.

    Since NS isnt porting to HL2 (AFAIK) will someone be allowed to use the original NS textures and make super good looking versions of them for use in a map?

    From the FAQ on the main page:
    <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Can I use the NS textures, technology, game world, concept art or anything else for any purpose other then Natural Selection?
    No. The team has worked very hard to create the NS universe. Please don't e-mail or post asking to use our textures, models or technology for other projects. You can, however, use any artwork from NS for an NS fansite, or NS community resource. You may never use anything from NS to make money, nor may you ever state or imply that any NS assets were made by anyone other then the NS team. If in doubt, e-mail flayra@overmind.org before using anything. Any inappropriate use of any NS content will be pursued aggressively.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    They won't even tell me who to contact for any textures. I doubt they will help you.

    Cory "SquealLikeAPig" Strader made the NS textures and artwork, however as it says in the FAQ, they are for NS use ONLY.

    You can use dod textures in cs because they are both owned by valve.

    Quite a few of the NS textures (most of the popular ones) were taken from a site called shaderlab. I just checked that site, and it appears to be broken. But you might be able to search around for the shaderlab texture packs and find the textures in their separate tga's and just make your own packfile to use in another mod.

    A few of the textures used in ns_bast.wad such as the spacesuit image are from Shaderlab; ns.wad and ns2.wad are all original IP including "most of the popular ones".
