Anyone intrested in receiving donations via giftcard or your choice of method for helping me out...please let me ready when ever you guys...i appreciate all the feedback n hope im not being too annoying with this, which i already know i am thanks.
Since the base game belongs to EA, all rights are still reserved to them. It is internationnally illegal to get paid to exploit its content for money.
One of the conditions to be able to mod it is to do it for free. We don't want ANY annoyment with EA's lawyers, so nobody with 2 working braincells will accept a single cent to do a mod.
Donations for time! Not modd! Does that work?
Listen, I will quote the law:
A work contract is defined by 3 elements:
- A task to do
- Money
- Boss-employee link
Deadlines and other details are secondary. Now, in your case:
- A task to do: YES, you have a precise task in mind, a particular set of changes you detailed in another topic
- Money: YES, even if it is via chickens that you send via mail, it's a payment
- Boss-employee link: YES, since YOU decide ALL the elements your "employee" has to implement
So YES, this is ILLEGAL. Get over it
So i basically have to get legal permission from ea sport. On it.
Not from EA sports. From EA games, EA sports is a completely different branch.
Thanks a lot, ill see what i can work up i appreciate your time.
Actually, Donation payments for someones work through indirect means and/or gift cards is completely legal.
Donations for time are legal and SWR operates a system like that already.
Only if there is no employer-employee relationship, which there would be in this case. Declaring freelance work payments as donations is tax fraud in many countries, and by extension, means it's a breach of the Terms and Conditions.
If it just a general donation to the person/studio then it will be fine.
I want what rikerzzz said, i dont want an employee employer relationship, ill just hit what should be there 😉, and the modderbgoes from there, donation only for time not modd and pretty sure ea is not gone send gustapo do anyones house over giftcards,donations for freelance.
Also called ea left a message told them i wanted to pay them to be able to pay someone will see it that works..
This again...
Paying someone to mod ZH imo is not illegal, because your paying for the modders time and skills, and not the assets of the game itself. Furthermore, the mod itself is only for private use, and is not being sold for profit.
I wanted to say this in the previous thread, but it got locked so I'm posting it here.
Paying someone to mod is no different from art commissions, or simply paying your buddy for a little work. It will only ever become a problem if someone decides to modify and then sell any of the EA assets which is not the case.
There shouldn't be any annoyance from EA, and I think all of the concerns raised so far is that of paranoia. Just chill out guys, you're making things bigger than it needs to be.
No offense, but you don't really need to pay for this do you? It's just a few lines of code after all.
Not saying what you devs do is cheap, I respect you. It does require a lot of patience to design something like ROTR. Keep up the good work btw.
The last time i checked, your requests were mostly about giving extra weapons to stuff. I do that quite often. Maybe i can help with that
+as of now, you can only allocate a maximum of 3 types of weapons to a unit. So the apache idea isn't really gonna work out.
THANK YOU ZEKE!!!and jet, i only figured out how to change simple things like amount of payload, thats easy just change the number lol. As coding new weapons i tried giving the the sokul ant air missles and failed at that pretty sure if i sat there all day long and just messed with it i might figure something out but i rather donate to someone with more skills than me at this and anyhow i dont have all day to do that (work,wife,kid)so a donation is the way to go for me.....again thank you eveyone for your feedback. Also inwould like to publicly apoligize to rikerzzz , it was my biddys bday n i had just a lil bit too much to drink i know its not an excuse for my actions but an explanations, soni am sorry hope my apoligie is accepted.
Did i confuse you lol?
Some people's goal is religion, science, helping out other people (charity)
Money makes the world go round but it is not at the heart of everyone
