Hey! Since some people reach me to ask permission to edit or reuse parts of my pack in order to be able to host along with other content or for other purposes, I'd like to post the following, just to be :
1) If you want to edit or reuse my works outside your private use,
in any degree, please contact me.
- Prefer to contact me via private message (a.k.a. Conversation). Since I'm a bit anti-social, I'm a bit slow to reply on Discord or something alike.
- I'll post here the permissions granted to let SRB2 staff know it. You can then host/reuse the content safely from their zeal.
- The other items below will outline the likelihood and conditions for an approval.
2) Minor changes or changes due to SRB2 limitations:
- I don't mind much about changes that don't alter the maps themselves. If it's just something due to software limitation (so it's not my fault), such as, you need to change map number in the map lump or in CFG. Just let me know so I can approve and be aware of it.
- You can also ask to disable a map via CFG or by removing one map or two from the pack. I tend to be okay with that too, as long as you explain why. But again, let me know and approve.
- You can also ask to create a pack only with the maps you are interested in hosting, as long as you explain why. Again, the same ask-approve thing.
- The resulting pack must not have an identical name as the original pack. Something like SRMF_ArchPack_v2.3_myserver.pk3 or anything that you or I might suggest will do.
- Make sure the change will properly work or not affect gamedata/records from the original pack.
3) New packs with my maps along with others:
- This requires I analyze your idea. Is it going to be collab, a stand-alone special pack with match/race maps only? They are good as long as credit is given somewhere, and it's very likely that I'll approve. Contact me and wait for a reply.
4) SRB2 no longer supports ArchPack due to major update:
- Please, do ask for a port on the forum or via private message and I'll work on it ASAP, and wait.
- You can offer porting help via private message.
Permission:
I granted permission to
@Pikaspoop to change the map numbers and host a separate pack with only Water Plant and Lift Brige in their ringslinger/tag server to avoid overwriting other maps.
