Is it allowed to use textures of Black Mesa for any maps? (ofc credits will be given)

Greetings, Crowbar /`

I think it has to be a mod of Black Mesa for you to be able to use them, but don’t quote me on that. I defer to devs.

I would use them for a HL 1 map.

Oops, I remembered it differently, sorry.

NP. Maybe any admin could give a statement on this?

means - we do not allow people to take our work and put it into theirs (even if they credit us)

But didn’t he speak about converting Black Mesa’s textures to WAD files so he can use them in Half-Life 1?

outlive · November 25, 2018, 2:34am

that is taking our textures and putting it into someone elses project
mod? please close

This man is right. Outlive, our developer, was mistaken.
