hello, i was looking through my mods and found "The Showdown", a cross-over mod i made. who would support me if i remade it? all i need is the permission to use mod content. I'm looking forward to using EE, the old SWTA, and Gundam

Epic.
Epic fail.
In fact we should add a term to the S44 license about this 'do whatever you want as long as you don't do dumb shit like panzers fighting wookies'.

havent you ever asked yourself who would win in a KP vs TA vs EE battle?

The problem is that in a balanced mod the answer would be "none"
If you just throw in the units as they are in their respective mods balance will be completly screwed.

i tried to balance it as much as possible. i wanted each faction to have a fighting chance. is that a problem?

No, except that if you do balance the mod, you cant really say "who would win" because its not the original :)

got a point, but some of the attack values were either unfair or weak. i wanted it to be for fun, not to be heavily criticized. i may not be the best modder ever, nor do i have the best ideas; i just wanted to make a crossover mod because no one else had. If there are any ideas for this mod that you have, do tell. (besides "Screw this idea")

You're just scared because our stormtroopers could beat up your stormtroopers

The only mods I want to see crossed over is that insect mod that's still in production and S44. Remember the ant missions from the original Red Alert? Think Panzer vs Giant Stag Beetle? Yeah... that would be awesome.

Speaking of behalf of Fang (developer of EE) he's asking that his stuff not be combined in such a manner.
EE's content is to stay separate until such time as he sees fit to release it.

zoy, it was done without the game maker's permission. Which means it should not be resurrected.

I was answering to this statement... but anyway, I do not think its a good idea, but if you want to... assuming you get permission to use the content that is, what aparently will not happen.

Forget it, as has been said the last time neither author allows derivatives, especailly not like this. I don't think Lucas Arts would permit using Star Wars for this either.

I think deep down in his heart George Lucas would want to see this getting done.

That is because his creative vision is limited to phallic weaponry/belly-like designs (Dependent upon his current weight) and wooden dialogue.

Smoth: if you dont want me to use Gundam, just say so.
