@Juan
Yes Dennis IS wrong. I mean, he REALLY is. He has said many times that what we make here caries no legal ownership bearing. Therefore, he is wrong. That is all he is really wrong about but still.

That doesn't even make sense. And seriously, this thread is really over anyway since no one is going to give any more help really in this topic than what has been given.

@ assassinchief
This is retarded. Talk to me when your brain decides to function. ***Leaves thread***

Proof does not make an opinion true. It only strengthens your opinion, college man.

When did I do this? Are you saying Mexicans cannot speak the English language fluently? Or is this another one of your flawed opinions?

While this is all stupid anyway, guess what I found out actually. DENNIS IS WRONG in some ways about content related issues in custom edition.

Quote: Derivative work is an artistic or literary work derived from one or more pre-existing original works. A derivative work must contain sufficient original elements that would make it a new work in order to get a copyright.

According to 17 USCS § 101, a derivative work is a work based upon one or more preexisting works such as a translation, musical arrangement, dramatization, fictionalization, motion picture version, sound recording, art reproduction, abridgment, condensation, or any other form in which a work may be recast, transformed or adapted. A work consisting of editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications which, as a whole, represent an original work of authorship, is a derivative work.

By definition, derivative works are substantially similar to the original work because a work is not derivative unless it has been substantially copied from a prior work. The Copyright Act defines a derivative work as "a work based upon one or more preexisting works." A derivative work is non-infringing if it is created pursuant to the consent of the copyright owner of the underlying work, or if it is based on a work in the public domain.

The Berne Convention on Copyright at Article 2(3) defines derivative works as translations, adaptations, arrangements of music and other alterations of a literary or artistic work, which shall be protected as original works without prejudice to the copyright in the original work.

Quote: Copyright Protection in Derivative Work The copyright in a derivative work covers only the additions, changes, or other new material appearing for the first time in the work. It does not extend to any preexisting material and does not imply a copyright in that material. One cannot extend the length of protection for a copyrighted work by creating a derivative work. A work that has fallen into the public domain, that is, a work that is no longer protected by copyright, can be used for a derivative work, but the copyright in the derivative work will not restore the copyright of the public-domain material. Neither will it prevent anyone else from using the same public-domain work for another derivative work. In any case where a protected work is used unlawfully, that is, without the permission of the copyright owner, copyright will not be extended to the illegally used part.

Quote: § 103. Subject matter of copyright: Compilations and derivative works

(a) The subject matter of copyright as specified by section 102 includes compilations and derivative works, but protection for a work employing preexisting material in which copyright subsists does not extend to any part of the work in which such material has been used unlawfully.

(b) The copyright in a compilation or derivative work extends only to the material contributed by the author of such work, as distinguished from the preexisting material employed in the work, and does not imply any exclusive right in the preexisting material. The copyright in such work is independent of, and does not affect or enlarge the scope, duration, ownership, or subsistence of, any copyright protection in the preexisting material.

Quote: Limitations on Reverse Engineering, Decompilation, and Disassembly. You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the SOFTWARE PRODUCT, except and only to the extent that such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this limitation.

Please post in English. it is the primary language of the forum. If you need to use a translator like goggle then I would suggest that you also indicate that you have translated it so that people will know that there may be issues with the translation.

Uhhh.. no one was down and angry, Dennis requested you to post in English, and so did the others (or, shall I say, made fun of you), you're being off-topic, no one will help you like this. Also, you mispelled a word that is RIGHT infront of you, its translator, not tronudctor.

Quote: --- Original message by: DFagent007

hear see if I am new to this and not this forum is to help not the only thing I want is to help me make fun of you for not knowing Spanish and said that perhaps things were not to know Spanish I no respect for their language every one has its own language so I ask the most respectful manner that if I want to help and just say it and you offend butnot for not knowing English is not my fault that we Mexicans English is not equal to yours so the google translator does not translate well from Spanish to English

I'm sorry for making fun, also, I'm just pointing this out: If you want help, you'll need good grammar for people to understand.

Quote: --- Original message by: eliteslasher


Dude. Google translator is not really good at the moment at discerning dialect. Some single nations have THOUSANDS of dialects. Until they find something that scans every single dialect perfectly, there will always be confusion especially on grammatical issues. For some cultures, grammar is so different as well that it is hard to translate back and forth. If you really care to know what the poster is posting about, if there is initial confusion, you have to take a second and say, "I think this is what he meant" and "I think that word is supposed to mean this". Reading once and saying, "what the hell is he talking about" is not good enough to understand usually.

this might be helpful for you...information supplied by gamma927.

these are all set in guerilla which is part of the HEK programe.

Grenades:

Grenade Velocity: This number must be a positive whole number in order to get the AI to throw. When you extract an actor variant, this normally isn't a positive whole number. You'd use around 9 to 10 for marines and grunts, and around 12 for elites.

Grenade Ranges: Similar to Desired Combat Range

Collateral Damage Radius: The AI won't throw the grenade if there's a friendly unit within this distance of the planned grenade throw.

Grenade Chance: How likely the AI are to throw grenades.

Grenade Check Time: How often the AI check whether or not to throw grenades.

Encounter Grenade Timeout: How often the AI must wait between grenade throws. This goes for all actors in an encounter. So if (list_get (ai_actors encounter) 0) throws a grenade, (list_get (ai_actors encounter) 1) cannot throw a grenade until the timer has gone up.

you ask about ai driving vehicles,this is something i think needs to be done with scripts but i'm not sure,maybe someone else can let you know about this.
