' Wrote:Heh, very possible. But not always. I can cite about a half-dozen examples off the top of my head where a big corporation gave permission for modders to go ahead. CCP gave some people permission to use their Eve models, as one. The mod fizzled out six months later, but things happen, ya know:)
Either way, it hardly matters. I think it's worrying about nothing until they say something. If they give me permission, great. If not, I change the name and go on as planned.
Well, CCP isn't EA. EA has a very long history of sending out C&D letters. Trust me, you're better off without the trouble of making a Mass Effect fan mod, EA will just ruin it.
Like I said, all you have to do is change the name. The starwars mod made for freelancer was called something else, freeworlds or something like that. Make up a name that doesnt include mass effect, and you're shiny.
You could call it... Freelancer: Terminus or something like that.
I was making a Fallout mod a while ago, and one of the original Fallout devs came along and played it with us for a while and dug out some old ZIP discs of art files for us. Not everyone is bad.

True, Valve even gave the Dead Before Dawn mod for L4D a line of audio (Francis saying "I hate malls.") EA unfortunately, is bad. They also get the delusion that they're devs sometimes, resulting in a worse game.

Heya Harvey, if you do ever get this project off the ground I'd be interested in helping out, I've no knowledge of modeling or anything like that, but if you needed help with managing or tracking down lore for groups that would be included in your Conversion, I might be able to be of some assistance with that.
