NiGHTMARE Posted December 29, 2000 Hmm. Remember last year that stuff about me ripping off some of of Ola's Darkening E2/E1 textures? Well, check out this site: http://www.grsites.com/textures You'll find several rather familiar *ahem* looking textures, e.g. metal019.jpg on this page: http://www.grsites.com/textures/metal002.shtml As the page also rips off a couple of Doom 2 textures, I'm inclined to believe that it was them who were the "naughty" party rather than Ola... 0 Share this post Link to post
Shaviro Posted December 30, 2000 Hehe. Sorry to break it to you Nightmare, but Ola did NOT make that texture!(Metal019) 0 Share this post Link to post
stphrz Posted December 30, 2000 I don't think that's what he was trying to say. I read and re-read the post. I have no idea what he was actually trying to say! Just another cryptic/sarcastic/ironic mystery post from Nick for us all to enjoy :) 0 Share this post Link to post

Just another cryptic/sarcastic/ironic mystery post from Nick for us all to enjoy :) No, that WAS what I was trying to say. I just assumed that Ola wouldn't be so hypocritical to go on at me for using a few of his textures as the base for some at mine, without giving any credit, if he'd done the exact same thing to someone else. According to Maonth, I was mistaken :( 0 Share this post Link to post
stphrz Posted December 30, 2000 From what I could gather from Ola's position, he would have been mad even if you had given him proper credit. I mean he didn't even want people to make levels that required the Darkening E2 wad file. I had plans to do something along those lines. But when I read the permissions section of the readme I decided against it... I still don't understand that, but I'll respect it, even though there's really nothing he could do about it. 0 Share this post Link to post

If I remember correctly, only a couple of my textures were based on a texture from the Darkening E2, the others were from the Darkening E1, which I think he would have been okay with had I given him credit. I would have given him credit anyway had Execution not been released before any of the contributors had a chance to send Vincent Fong the details they wanted in the .txt file. 0 Share this post Link to post

I remember being asked to beta test and do replacement demos in Execution wad (exec.wad) by Vince and as i was working on my wad at the time stole their new texture for stone they had in wad, and threatened Vince if he didnt allow me to do this, I would rush my wad out and then claim THEY had stolen it from MY wad :) baaaaad Fod :) 0 Share this post Link to post
