What's the policy on 3rd Party units these days? I have a concept I'd like to try in the Myth engine, and I'd like to use some other people's units for it. Namely, the following:

Green Berets/Special Forces (Ozone's, I think)
-RVN soldier
-Assault Soldier
-Huey Helicopter
-Special Forces Captain

WWII (Santa's Head)
-M-61 Tank

Mythwarrior (Rohan)
-Rocket Tank

CAGES (Troll)
Arachnoid

ADT (Strangelet)
Map - Quarantine Zone

I'd like to use the collections but modify the stats for a plugin. Also, is there any unit collection out there packing a rocket launcher? I know of the SITH and other Marathon collections, but I'm looking for something that would fit in better with the Green Beret units.

general policy for people who want to give credit where credit is due is the same as always - make a reasonable effort tocontact the original creator of the units and let them know you would like use/modify the units. some people ask, some just inform - but particularly if you are modifying anything it's good to ask.

if readme emails go nowhere or bounce back, post something on the forums so the person has a chance to respond if they are still here or using a different username these days.

for a rocket launcher, you might want to check out the DeadFall zombie conversion. The author and contributors are still around the forums.

Sorry I didnt reply to your private message sooner...Ive been sick with the flu and when im sick I get lazy.

Its my belief you don't need to ask permission to use this stuff but rather give credit to those (in a read_me) whose stuff you used to make your plug. This has been standard practice since I started making maps in 1789. And so you know some people don't agree with or follow this practice...

I hate them.

Btw...there is a VC rocket launcher in Green Berets/SF/SF2

man...I need to get SF2 done.
