tommy vercetti guy Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Sup ma hommies, need some andswers wit dis dig yo, you know some games theat have licenced cars like NFS, the cars dont have damage models right, right. But when R* asked the car companys to put licensed cars into thier games like MC and GTA, the car companys said sure but we would not allow u to destroy our cars in anyway whatsoever. R* did not like the idea of undamagable cars, so the put cars that look like real cars and added some new names. So is it illegal when makin mods cause is it violating copyright of the car companys cause we had no permission to use thier cars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 no I don't think so, but if it is then it must be on a mere technicality because there is no written law by companies saying you are not allowed to use the model of the car in any games. Unless you're actually told by someone of power that you are not allowed it's not illegal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvi Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I think after all the cars that have been around as mods there is no way it can be illegal. Copyright probably only applies to other companies trying to make cars (in the real world) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 plus surely having your car in a popular game would give it more publicity thus improving sales per chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Google Bot Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 It could be illegal if you make theyre cars look bad. Like having low speed and destryoing them very easy.. that is bad publicity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvi Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Unless their making money from it, it's legal. Also R* have said that it is legal to mod the game unless you are editing the .exe files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris82 Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Well, some mod cars for Vice City are very hard to damage. The Honda Accord Tuned does show damage besides the doors falling off and the windows. The rest of the body is invincible. In a related matter, there are some real life cars in GTA. The Sabre. The ZR-350. Made by Oldsmobele and Nissan repectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris82 Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Yeah, I already saved em', but I'm not puttin' them up until I have 250 bucks to give you. I already have 125, and I'll send the money when I have it, possibly in the next half-hour. Before theGTAplace went down, I spent money on a sig change for Spaz. But I'm posting like there's no tomorrow. BTW, nice job on the sig and avatar. It will be an honor to use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabin Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 (edited) I think using mods altogether is illegal becuase it violates the EULA OF THE PROGRAM. the part were it says :modify or prepare derivative copies blah blah NOT PERMITTED TO REVERSE ENGINENER, DECOMPILE OR DISSEMBLE THE SOFTWARE OR ACCOMPANYING MATERIAL IN ANY WAY BLAH BLAH. BUT I THINK THEY DON'T CARE OR ALL THIES SITES WOULD BE SHUT DOWN ESPICIALLY IF THEY WERE MAKING PROFIT OFF OF IT. SO YOU CAN'T MAKE MODS AS YOUR JOB.
