yes the MRH90 IS the only thing, and on that the only thing rico worked on was the retracting wheels and doors, and if its that much of a problem i will remove them and redo it myself... however this will push back all release alot more, as i was planning a group pack. but meh.

I wouldn't worry too much about it, if you can get a thumbs up from one of the guys who made it (for courtesy) then go for it, but if it's a model that was already released to the public, like snr says they cant say "hang on, we decided not to give it to you after a few years later", same principle as if someone gave you a present.

I agree 100% with people asking permission for using (if you are another mod not a player) or editing addons, people take time out of there own lives to develop these things but rico I just had a look at the ADF mod credits and it seems that you have very little ownership over what is actually in it.
Get permission from the original creators and remove ricos parts from it and your all good. Probably have to reconfig and texture some stuff but that is doable.

Credits:
- F-88's - [AIF]Wiggles and DrillSeageant for base model
- LAW - Reedwasere for the model, Sabre for the textures (only on the SRPV/LRPV models atm, will be weapons eventually)
- Carl Gustov - Reed for the model, Sabre for the textures
- SR-25 - BIS for models, Rico for modifying them etc
- Troops - Vix for the textures and Rico for mucking around with the BIS models
- Landrover's - TheSun, jagy for using and modifying their landrover pack
- M1A1's - Mateck for models, Rico for 'Auscam' and McNools for Descam.
- S-70 - Rico and DK for textures, Myke for showing me how to do the opening doors
- MRH-90 - AfrographX for model and textures, Rico for retracting gears and opening doors
- ARH Tiger - LoteKk for model and textures, Pafetik Bazerka for cleaning textures up, fixing geomentry, fixing destruction textures, and well anything else thats been fixed lol.
- ASLAV - FischKopp for model and base textures, Stu for converting over to ArmA, Rico for camoscheme
- F-111's - Skaircro for model and textures, Southy for converting it over, EddieD for upgrading textures
- CH-47D - AfrographX for model, Myke for conversion, [UNA]Luke for textures, Rico for auto reardoor

Hey Rico mate!...lighten up!
Get your priorities right and into persepctive.
You're modding for a game, it's a hobbie and for some people looking for a career in modeling etc it's practice!
It's not like anyone on these forums is making any money from this, no companies are in competion for the work here.
Unlike VBS2 there are no liscenses for ArmA that can be purchased to allow you to work as an independant contractor!
If someone wants to start a mod and develop ADF assets "their" way then what's the big deal?
If they happen to have re-textured a bis model that looks similar to yours then so what!
If people in the community like someone else's version of an addon better then the one that you've made then so be it!
And if you give permission for someone to use something of yours then you have given permission...period! You have the choice to say no from the outset.

Asking permission to use someone's else's work is the right thing to do, like SoldierX said they would have put a lot of hard work into it. There's a certain amount of IP that comes into play, but again you can't sell this stuff.
But you can use it as part of a show reel if you're looking to get actual paying work in this field, so being able to show it is actually your work is important (or more importantly being able to catch someone passing your work off as their own).
But if you're not practicing or building up assets for a showreel then it's a hobbie, something that either drags you away from RL or helps you escape it...that means it's supposed to be enjoyable and not stress you out, and if it is maybe you need a new hobbie.

If any of the points i've made are incorrect i apologise in advance, but the point is easy up mate, there's a whole wide world out there beyond your PC and the internet that's much more important.

This looks freaking awesome! I actually have been waiting quite a while for its release. Does anyone have a clue to its release? I keep seeing other people ask the same question, but i do not see an answer to their question!

[Rhodesy77]

"when its done" ive been busy with rl lately so pushed back the release of the troops, and i dont want to set a date as i dont like deadlines for something i do as a hobby/experience lol.

but it "shouldnt" be to long now.

Thats the main reason I've pulled permissions, someone came to me annoyed that I gave permission for a unit in the mod to be used when I didn't, and instead of going through the headach of sorting out if its true etc and going through all the BS of following it up I've just pulled the permissions completly then if someone releases with our stuff in ADF scheme then its clear its not correct. The fun of modding is being sucked out when you make a mod for fun (and it's a learning process) and all you cop in return is abuse, told its crap etc and then people turn around and use the stuff thats meant to be so 'shit', it's beyond a joke .

But thats all I'm going to say, dont want to go offtopic, msg has been delivered, and atleast for now it stands until my trust in the community is restored (if ever).

EDIT: It's ironic because I was always the one to support the community, and allowed people to use my stuff when possible and help them when I could, so for me to get over it theres clearly something very wrong here.

And how long have you been reading these forums that you where completely ignorant of this likely happening? Huh?
You've been around long enough that you can't say "I didn't see it coming".

Simple rule, if you don't want to attact trouble, dont "put it out there".
That includes any "discussion" threads, any WIP threads and even any Screenshot threads.
Keep it all in you're own separate Mod Forum and you *might* be hassle-free.

problem rico, your contribution to the ADF mod is extremely slim, and if rhodesy has permissions from the others, then your opinion is null and void.

Still waiting for some more teasers rohdesy :P
