I'm involved with making a new mod for HL, and we've been looking for some nice tree models. Are we allowed to steal the Dod tree models, assuming of course we give full plaudits of where they came from?

I think so, since vALVE now 'owns' dod, and I assume you have either HL/CS/DOD retail. Then basically you can use whatver you want.

I dont really know alot about this, though, I just think I've read this somewhere

Yes i think so too, because Valve owns DoD now, so... people can use/edit every thing that Valve have offical released.

You can't use the models in another mod until a new HL patch is released, if it ever will be. :rolleyes:

Yea dod is the only hl based game right now besides cs cz that supports models with masked textures

wrong... u can use them as long as u have DOD installed
because DOD updates HL's dlls.

Yep...

I wonder, issit possible for u to use the DoD dlls and use them to replace the ones in your valve folder??? In this way, other mods that run under Half-life may be able to get masked textures!! Hmm...whacha think of that? I know nuthin....

And if they dont have dod installed they will see the red/blue part that is to be masked.

Yep feel very free to use them. As long as it's a HL mod you're more than welcome.

And as has been pointed out, the new render stuff will be available for all HL mods before long. Particle effects too I think.

GRRR that means EVERY HL mod i play will now be 15 fps, atm its just dod :(
