Make OFP missions playable in ArmA

Would please mission makers share their opinion on that one

please. Thank you!

The OAC project is meant to make OFP missions and campaigns

playable in ArmA. At times the missions need slight changes

as some aspects are different between OFP and ArmA technically

(script syntax changes).

Now is OK to update the mission without seeking the authors

approval, while keeping every other aspect intact (like readme,

stating the original author and credits) and stating very clearly

that the mission was only updated to work in ArmA by project OAC?

Thank you for your consideration.

My personal thoughts:

The need to request permission for every mission or to wait for

x weeks or months will effectively make the project non

functional and would kill it.

IMHO the original author's main interest was to share his work

and let others enjoy it. So as long as the true ownership and

the role of project OAC is stated I would say no permission is

needed and most authors should welcome to see their work

also playable in Armed Assault.

The exception is of course if the author explicitly stated that he

wants no modification of his work what so ever. Not to sure

on this one too though.

My opinion:

- try to get in contact with original author

- if you get no feedback after predefined interval give respective

credits in readme and missiontitle and do not replace any custom

mission authors ressources within the mission that point to the original creator.

If you do all that I can´t see what should be going wrong if the original author has left the community or is not available for some other reason.
