Title: Help.....Gmax Modeler Needed
Post by: trains on October 11, 2008, 15:58:31
hey guys. i was wondering if anyone was intrested in making Diesel 10 in Gmax for Trainz as UKBL is busy replacing the current models and no one else took the challenge.

this is him
Diesel 10
(http://www.sodor-island.net/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/diesel10.jpg)

he is a Class 40 or 42 warship in the front and either a Class 38/40/42 in the back. can you also add the claw for more realism? and possibly these two as well. needed since i am making the movie in Trainz.
Splatter and Dodge
(http://www.sodor-island.net/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/mrsplatterdodge.jpg)

all Class 08's, like Splatter and Dodge, cannot be reskined so new ones are needed.

Picky, picky, picky.....

You really should not want to turn this forum into a grammatical nit-picker's paradise. Reasons:

(1) This site is international. My Home Counties English is correct. Everyone else's is wrong.

(2) This is the Ship Simulator Forum, not the Oxford English Dictionary Proofreading Convention

Who says the "real" English comes from England? Maybe a poor Chinese though smart man invented it to replace his rather difficult language, and then the English came around ages ago and said after they had studied it:"I kinda like this language" in whatever language they used to speak, and took the Chinese man with them back to England and then the English king said: "I kinda like it too" and after that everyone in England was forced to speak the new English and because all of the previous language should be forgotten no one now knows that it ever existed :o! In case you guys wonder how I know all this, I have a time machine.

Hmmm. Humour is a subtle thing....

Anyway, I am English. It's my language. I very kindly allow some other countries to use it under license.

(As a "humour alert", that was a joke).

My wife is American. So that Americans have to call the language "English" and not "American", we don't allow them to use it for one day every four years. That is the day on which they elect their President, speaking only gibberish.

(As a "humour alert", that was a joke).

You got there before me Terry, although judging by the last post from Trains I don't think that he knows, or cares, what copyright is!!
Title: Re: Help.....Gmax Modeler Needed
Post by: TerryRussell on October 12, 2008, 23:04:28
Sorry Trainz, but be warned, we won't tolerate breaches of copyright on this forum. Asking for someone to help you to breach copyright will get you banned.

It might be a very good idea to edit your post above before I see it....

guess what guys. no need to create them now. look what is on youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bI9_hjLyDdk

I think you will find the copyright is not owned by Pikkabird but by © 2008 Gullane (Thomas) Limited

nooooooo........obviously.....Pikkabird is the creator of the LMS Class 08 and Class 42(seen in backround,first scene)that were reskined to look like Splodge and Diesel 10. and so then by saying that your saying all the Thomas engines in the game are copyright....the movie is 8 years old so i bet they won't worry too much.

It looks like something i would have fun modeling. But what Terry said about copyright and the "Secret Ship" I might be working on soon. It has a name, But...You'll see the topic...

As the copyright for all Thomas the Tank Engine characters is owned by the survivors of the Reverend Wilbert Awdry (the man who created them), and that the family have dedicated copyright agents who are paid to protect their copyright, you can bet that the copyright is feriously protected.

Just because you only know of some film, don't imagine for one minute that was the sole copyright issue. The TV series still generates a lot of money. Ringo Star has probably earnt as much money from that as from his days with that group, the Wassanames.

But both the film and the TV series were licensed by the Rev Awdry and Co.

Post by: TerryRussell on October 14, 2008, 20:27:29
Which bit of "The copyright is actively pursued by the family of the creator" is unclear?

The film (movie) was licensed to use them. That isn't where copyright lies. Your comment about it being 8 years old is irrelevant.

all of it....the day they talk about copyright in school i'll tell you.
Title: Re: Help.....Gmax Modeler Needed
Post by: TerryRussell on October 14, 2008, 20:42:59
Let me help you with your studies:

When someone created a work, be it an image, a program, written words, songs, etc, they have absolute control over what can be done with it. No person is permitted to make copies, use it or abuse it without permission.

Using other people's work without their prior written permission is classed as theft.

All countries around the world have agreements that mean people breaching copyright can be extradited and tried for it. Most countries can imprison you for up to 25 years and impose unlimited fines for breach of copyright.

Any one found breaching copyright on this forum can expect rapid and very definite action.

Does that help?

When you get extradited to the UK as Terry says, bear in mind that during your 25 years in gaol you won't have a computer!!!
