Give some credit to GAMES WORKSHOP

...for coming up with all your units FOR you. This subject has been driving me insane for the longest time.

Look, I'm a huge fan of Warhammer. I like the new race mod and all because it basically is warhammer... but... i never actually see warhammer or Games Workshop mentioned in the whole bloody thing.

All of your concept art is by Games workshop. Your snotlings, your lizardmen, your skaven grey seer, everything.

Please, please, just, be corteous, give games workshop some credit for all this instead of just using all their names and concept art and cultures then stamping "blizzard" and "talesof raviginion" or whatever.

WHY not just make your mod based in the warhammer old world? I think that would be a lot cooler than a made up world that uses all of warhammer's stuff.

Thanks for reading. Hope this makes a difference.

YOU'RE MISSING THE POINT!


I'm just saying you should at least MENTION warhammer or games workshop SOMEWHERE in your stupid mod! Also, ever heard of copyright laws? Yah, thats what I thought. At least put somewhere like "thanks to games workshop for our concept art, our tzeench, nurgle, great unclean one, skaven, big ogre guy, wood elves, our entire lizardmen race, our squigs and snotlings, etc. etc. etc."

don't be jerks. don't steal. I know you are probably way too lazy (and stubborn) to put any mention of games workshop anywhere on your mod, but I think it's worth asking.

by the way, mindflayers are a tzeenchian demon. theres a model for them. beholders are some stupid creature from one of those lame *** "D&D" fantasies. Warhammer is dark gothic fantasy, and it's idea shouldn't be putrified by a couple of pugnacious 15 year olds. And i'm sure there are ogre-ants somewhere...

thanks for reading. I hope you can be a little more cortious in the future.

by the way I really want to know what the leader thinks of this post. (that means YOU rightfield)

He made a valid point (Although he represented it a little harshly...), answering with smartass comments doesn´t make you look clever...

Skinks excist in real world as well so no one owes anyone credit for making them, but skaven grey seers, squigs, and other crap is the PROPERTY of games-workshop.

PS: No, they dont excist here liek they do in Warhammer or such...

Is it so hard to say: We thank Games-Workshop for supplying us with inspiration for our units now is it?

the first thing i thought when i played NRM (apart from Wow, this is great) was "hmm, alot of these units are from warhammer." As a warhammer gamer i noticed large chunks of the units came from it, i also noticed that the loading screens are sketches found in the various Codex's or manuals (yes some had been colored buy you) I agree with Trollz, is it really so hard to say "thanks to Games Workshop and Warhammer for our inspiration"?

yes, it is, what are you going to do about it?

i mean, why do you people get SUCH a kick out of picking out the SLIGHTEST errors and blowing them up? "OMG, THE TROLLS ARE ALL CREEPS, MAKE LOTS OF NEW MODELS PLEASE" "OMG, THE BUILDINGS R STIL DERE WEHN I KIL DEM" "OMG, LOOKS LIKE YOUS SCREWED UP!! THE DEMON OF KHORNE SOHULD B A DOOM GAURD!! NOT A PITLORD!!! OMGOMG HOW CUOLD U MAK SUCHA BIG MISTAEK!!!111"

Just quit picking out all these pathetic little "errors" that you find and just try doing a project for once, and see all the retarded "errors" good, kind souls like yourself find for you.

By the way, what gives you the right to DEMAND that Rightfield shows up to tell you what he thinks? Do you pay for this site? Do you own the internet? Or will you hack wc3c and delete NRM if he doesnt?

[and you hope that we will be a little bit more CORTIOUS in future? wow, you sure were VERY nice and gentle in putting across your point. - and get a dictionary, you sure need one beside you when you type.]

i think he did go a bit overboard, but he does have a valid point, whats so hard about putting somewhere (maybe in some credits) the thanks to games workshop? Its just giving out credit where its due. Also about the small errors in gameplay, i have made maps and i have encountered many many errors, and while i agree that people yelling at you how stupid you are is wrong, yelling back is even wronger. Instead you either A: Give a reason why you cant\wont change it
B: Change it\Fix it
C: Say you'll do it later, and actually do it later
D: Get some sort of poll too see what other people think.
I wouldnt really agree so much if the piccys for the loading screens wernt taken straight out of the various codex's for warhammer (cept trolls i think) and a large number of the units have similar names and spells. I'm trying to be friendly and nice, and i'm not demanding anything (i cant say the same for anyone else) but i'm simply pointing out that it might be a good idea or a sensible one to give out credit where its due, otherwise your just stealing GW's ideas :nono:

Also about the buildings having death animations, all you need to do to fix it is to give it a death animation where it vanishes, cause it find it very annoying to have buildings that dont have death or decay anims so they just sit there.

And on the subject, where did he demand that rightfield show up? He simply said he'd like to know what he thinks about it, try reading before you spout off what your thinking, it helps and it means that alot of your answers are more well structured, easyer to understand ect, and contain less flaming and ranting

Rightfield. has. said. again. and. again. that. the. bugs. will. be. fixed. especially. the. death. animation. You dont bother to read, do you?

And. for. the. last. time. Games Workshop did NOT invent the mindflayer, it did NOT invent elves, it did NOT invent ogres, it did NOT invent demons. Before you start bitching about OMG WE'RE TAKING LAODING SCRENES FROM THE CODEXES AND OMG WE'RA STEALING IDEAS OMG WE BETTER FIX THE BUGS WHEN WE SAY WE WILL, just wait for the new version. Its incredibly amusing when people keep going ON and ON and ON about "things to fix" when they dont even know what is going on.

[and if you read what he typed, he was not ASKING. he was D-E-M-A-N-D-I-N-G an explanation, something that is rather interesting for someone who has completely nothing to do with running the site or the project. I just cannot stand it when people decide to appoint themselves Inquisitor of All WC3C Projects and go around DEMANDING for their questions to be answered.]

I have already thanked games workshop for ideas long time ago. check news page a bit longer down and you'll see:

-->Some preview and thanks [27.12.02] I'm working on New Race Mod 2.8 patch and I thought I might post something that keeps you waiting for a new version. I want to say thanks to everybody who have helped me with finding bugs in the mod and i'm fixing all of them and my friend LordThrend who have made it possible to use his coputer as New Race Mod server when it's on. Also I would like to thanks Games Workshop, not because they've been active and made this mod, but simply because they made warhammer and all it's art I've used . Anyway here's a pic of the new chaos building animation.


there. now shutup. ;P
