The Dink Network

Idea.

What if I put half life textures into dink smallwood and cropped them to be the right size to be walls and floors n stuff?

Sounds like a plan.

I already have a rough picture set up, i just wish I could upload it from my computer instead from a photo sharin website

I think that would be breach of copyright.

Which absolutely nobody cares about on TDN

Lol Kyle sadly it's partially true .

Half-life is 12 years old and open to modding, so NOBODY will care.

Umm. Yeah, one of the mods is the most played online-shooter on earth, I think it sucks tho.

I wonder how many copyrights we've broken throughout the years with graphics and music. Although MIDI files shouldn't be a problem, as far as I know.

It may be a myth but I think Squaresoft sent a C&D to someone who wanted to make a Final Fantasy style DMOD.

A lot of stuff falls under Fair Use. Nevertheless, tread carefully.

I don't have a problem with using any copyrighted material in fan productions. It's like you're not allowed to make a drawing of Mickey Mouse on paper yet every kid does it too.

We're here to unearth our latent creative instincts, so we should have all the possible tools at our disposal. As long as nobody makes any money out of it, who cares is my opinion on the matter. Of course, it must be credited properly, that is a basic rule of respect.

For the record, my d-mod has MP3 files of soundtracks on it AMG GET THE PITCHFORKS!

Square Enix, is awesome, but I doubt they know that Dink Smallwood exists.

Dude it's a great idea,you should do it and as for the copy right issue,it's an old game that nobody plays anymore,who's gonna care?

I agree with you Kyle. Too bad the big companies don't always see it the same way though.

Also, you should probably remove those MP3 soundtracks. The first few versions of Historical Hero had some (perfectly legal) MP3 soundtracks as mere options to put in the game, but the staff told me to remove them.

Yes, this is why I will likely not upload it here. There's just too much music in it that needs to be there. It's not even all area music, I have specifically created cutscenes timed to the music track which enhances the experience by a mile. I'm not going to reduce the quality of the d-mod because of TDN's rules I will likely upload a d-mod "file" that will have the real download link in the description, which should be fine.

I wish i could put it in a dmod.

I'll talk to schnapps .

I'm not going to be on often. But help would be nice

Developing and graphics not my things yet but if you need your walls and floors to have an epic backstory I'll see what I can whip up.

THanks. I'm immersed in metatarsal's tutorial for d-mod making.

No problem if you need help and for some reason no one else knows I'll go to the edge of the interwebz to help and I'm looking to download that getting a new computer soon so we'll see yay.

Hey Kerrek - good to have you back mate; your graphics are, from what I've seen, wonderful. Are you making 3D models for the textures? If so I might be able to help out with one or two.

I can't model, I just do it pixel by pixel. I can't shade.

Thats all I can do I spend free class time shadeing in crooked circles.

I wish there was a tutorial on how to pixelshade.

Here's one. It was the first result when I Googled pixel shading tutorial.

Edit: Oh, hmm, you probably can't get to DeviantArt. Maybe you can click through those results until you find a site you can access.

It's kinda useful, I'll see if I can get Blender and find a model of the Half-Life 2 Civil Protection. I'm making some half-life 2 midis on anvil-studio.

I can only talk at school, that's why I don't post that much. Anyone know where I can find a model of Half Life 2 Civil Protection, or at least any combine member, synths and advisors are no-nos.

Sweet. Now I just need to get Blender, and figure out how to animate....

I like determination

Is there any like.. walking animations i can put them on the model?

Perhaps this will help, Kerrek?

For walk-cycles in blender, have a look at this one.

How can I get the Combine model into Blender? I did File > Open and it's not there.

You can't do it that way. You will need to go File> Import> Wavefront(.obj)> [select directory containing models and double-click on "Police.obj"]

Skull: MIDI files fall under copyright too, because the original composition they play is an original work and thus falls under copyright law. In the 90's, MIDIs were a much disputed topic because of this. Nowadays, I don't think any band or lawyer really cares.
