Title: Permission For Porting To Garry's Mod
Post by: maskedbandit on September 07, 2008, 06:51:58 am
Hey,
I'm a new guy, probably to most people here. The reason I come here is to ask permission to port some maps and weapons to Garry's mod. Of course, full credit would be given to Golden Eye: Source. We would invite you guys to manipulate our MOTD to give credit where you believe credit is due. We did have a golden eye source server before, however, it was difficult to get people to download it. We hope that this is a good way to get people's feet wet, and move over to golden eye source completely. We can make it known that the gmod version would be inferior to the true mod. We could either just host the files on our server, or we could post them up on www.garrysmod.org for people to easily download them. We are very self efficient, and we believe we can make this a fun little game mode for gmod. We would like to humbly ask the team for permission to use some of the models and maps, with full credit being given to them in any place they request.
Thanks In Advance,
Bandit

the permission is reserved to the individual creators, but I made the levels complex, complex classic and caves, and you're welcome to knock yourself out with em. Appreciate you askin, rather than be some fpsbanana dickwad

The important thing from a goldeneye source perspective is to inform people the mod does exist from these maps of course, but that a better version will hit the world sometime down the track. Then you can have more maps to convert and a reason to push your patrons more strongly into the mod itself :P

Well, I would like to welcome anyone who has Garry's Mod, or a Lead developer who would like to see what we have done (we may be able to donate a copy if no lead developers own the game) to come and see our currently private server, mostly being used for development of this port. So far, we have 3 maps ported, Facility classic, Cradle, and the library. We have 2 weapons, the kf7 and the pp7, the music is looped to the maps, we have player models, and tonight we should hopefully have a player model select screen. Along with disabling jumping/sprinting, porting in a few more maps along with a few more weapons. Just add me to your steam friends, my steam page is
http://steamcommunity.com/id/fackinbandit (don't pay attention to my time playing those games, i have a bad habit of leaving games open, I actually do have a life XD.)
Once you add me, we can hopefully set up a time you can come and see what we have done so far.

Well, if no one has a problem, I will upload our content pack (technically a lot of it is your guys content, and I will make sure that it is known) to www.garrysmod.org and we will try and open up our server to the public tomorrow night.

lol, yea.the gg on cradle is burning.

Looks sweet though. I'll give it a try as soon as I'll get a working steam. You could maybe tweak the weapons a lil bit more.

So what's the deal with porting GES to GMod?

Do you still have the GMod abilities like spawning stuff, attach objects to others and change skins of props?
In the video i just see regular DM gamplay.
We allready know a combination of GES and GMod could be fun, course B@dPlayer wrote script stuff for spawning props in GES.
So we had Melons raining from the top of cradle, cratetowers in Siberia, a Jenga pyramide and some other Fun.

The more important Question is: is the Hit-Reg-Bug still in there?
The Weapons are looking kinda off centred too.

Do i need GMod10 to check this one out?

Thats gmod... Not as bad as GES.

Do i need GMod10 to check this one out?
server infos says its gmod 10.

We did have a golden eye source server before, however, it was difficult to get people to download it. We hope that this is a good way to get people's feet wet, and move over to golden eye source completely.

that is one reason for the port, but at the same time, we can possibly add a few things, SSL had a wonderful idea, that I would like to pursue with in the next week. Incorporating Single Player/Co Op in to the game. I see this as being possible. Really, with porting it over to gmod, it unlocks a lot of different things that we can do with it.

weapons still do need a lot of work, placement, clip size, and damage per shot.

Sorry in the video of the cradle the filmer had his bloom on. He was actually spectating me.

And we are still working on the votemap/cycle system, we have a nice vgui with pictures of the maps the user will just click on.

We are also still working on weapons/ammo pick ups and remote/proximity mines

Yea I'm a bit confused as well.  I though you just took the ges guns and stuff and made them options to add into the sandbox.  All I see in those videos is pretty much a remake of the mod with all of our assets and a different interface.

Sorry you feel that way, however I did not lie, If you read my first post, you would notice that.
I had talked to the developers and I believed they had full knowledge of what we were doing.

Sorry for any misunderstanding, but this was the plan the entire time, and I don't appreciate being called a liar, infact it offends me since I have done so much work to try and make sure you guys have been fully involved...

Post by: Konrad Beerbaum on September 16, 2008, 09:07:50 pm
You were up front about it. I guess I just didn't have a full understanding of what exactly you were aiming for.  I'll talk to the devs and make sure the individuals who's assets are used are fine with it.

I hope you guys realize also this is a great PR device for you guys, your link is everywhere we might showcase this port, this could only do good things for you guys

I got no problem with him using our stuff, thats the point of garrys mod, however that would be a low blow to try and create a spinoff mod, hopefully you dont. enjoy our crap lol

Hey Bandit,

We talked it over, and while it seems we didn't have a good grasp of what you were asking, in the end it's not a big deal.  The project you are working on seems to be within the spirit of Garry's Mod, and doesn't detract from ours unless it is used differently in the future to directly compete with us.  As long as your project stays with its current intent and proper credit continues to be given to GES, we have no problem with you using the GES assets in their current form.

We would ask that when our next version is released (Beta 3), and your project would like to use assets from that, that you contact us again to make sure that the content creators are ok with the use of their assets. 

Thanks, and sorry for the confusion.

You've got my permission to use my music for whatever... it's ended up in so many youtube videos and mods (including non-hl ones :/) that I don't really care any more, haha.  Have fun with that.

I know, right? I don't mind at all if people use my tracks as long as they credit me. Just don't do what this guy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqxbPvkzAP4) is doing. I've messaged him several times and he still hasn't dropped a little note in the info section that it's my track. Whatever, at least it's out there and people are enjoying it.

It keeps getting delayed, however hopefully tonight we are going to add something that should be fairly simple to add, we are going to make a 4 man server, and split the screen 4 ways just for that retro feel of your jerk friend that would always screen look, the only bad thing is you will need a nicer computer for it to run smoothly, I will take screenshots tonight hopefully for you guys to check out.

this has little to do with the game mode, but it's a picture of us having some fun in a 3rd party golden eye map in garrys mod
(http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb176/dustyhullzolt/ge_bunker_stinky2_gmod0044.jpg)

that was after one of our weekly meetings, it was amazing we could get 16 people to cooperate and sit still for a few min. XD they useually run around hitting things with crow bars :D

right now we are using an existing mod, we intend to improve this and make it more fit for golden eye, it's called admin tv, however, like I said, we intend to make our own improved version of it.

You made that remix, Audix? I found that a long time ago on OC Remix and thought it sounded fairly familiar. :P Nice song, by the way.

Anyway, it looks like you're simply trying to use GE:S to attract people to your 4-player split screen mod, maskedbandit.
Title: Re: Permission For Porting To Garry's Mod

Just tried it... Honestly its looks like a pre alpha or something, with a shitload of prop/text/map/etc. And you guys renamed the maps... lights are fucked now. Where is the split screen?

as i had said, that is not my mod, it was simply an idea...

I feel attacked sometimes on here guys, I'll be honest, it's not really a feel good environment when I get on and read some of those posts, I thought i have been doing a great job of promoting Golden Eye Source for you guys. If you guys don't like it say so, but don't beat around the bush, You guys let us use the content and then it seems like some are going back on their word after we have done quite a bit of work
i really dont like this idea anymore...

yea im going back on my word, its like you are taking our models and making your own mod.. idk i dont like the idea, kinda like if i took your models and used em for my mod. ANYWAYS im pretty vocal so ill let uknow how i feel without beating around the bush

Our basic point is this: If you want to use our assets for GARY's MOD, that's fine. Gary's mod is its own mod, and fun to play around with models, creating funny things, etc. We would encourage for people to enjoy having fun with our assets, and would encourage the publicity for our own project. However, we do not want our assets being used for something other then Gary's Mod, and what Gary's Mod is all about. Which means adding new "features", because that is in direct competition with our mod, and the worst part is, it would be with our assets.
