I found out that the parts of GWX which I wanted to use in my mod (periscope.tga, upon which all my "new" tga's are based, and the large recongnition manual, and the speed/distance/time conversion charts) were in fact made by JonZ and FLB Sale, and were used (with permission, mind you ) by the GWX team.

Therefore, if my understanding of the "rules" is correct, it is their permission I need to use those files in my mod. Which brings me to my request: I have sent them both PMs, but they don't seem to visit these forums anymore and I doubt the PM's will be answered. I know that in the absence of a reply I may go ahead and use the files but I'd rather try to get in touch with them if at all possible and avoid another messy permission situation, so if anyone here is in contact with either of them and could let them know to check their PM's I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

That's the spirit! All obstacles can be overcome by creative thinking...

Thats what you have to do!

Also I doubt FLB and Jonz will reply to your PM's since
they are gone for a time now, if that happends you will
have either use other files to avoid the situation of
rong feelings or just add them into credits with a special note
about the Pm afforts and contacts unreplied!

As for FLB Dials and other Mods evryone uses is work with
proper credits anyway, he is not here as far as I know about,
Tryed Pm him for enumerouse ocasions and never got replys
and also never saw him around!

Do everything the proper way and nobody will have nothing to say
but comment your work!

I went through this with Konrad Krumm's U-boat. If unsure always revert to this thread, its what I use as my modding bible.

I dare say you have read it though.

I asked Sale and he said he gave up, its impossible.

I wanted to reply to this in the other thread, but it got locked.

Yes, it is "impossible" in a sense. Suffice it to say, I applied some lateral thinking to that problem (and a few others ). I'm willing to share the "solutions" via PM with any modders who require them (indeed I've already shared them with joegrundman and Hitman and they've used the techniques in their excellent U-jagd Tools mod).
