That's wrong. You would need specific permission from Nintendo to use the material. For example they could let you make the mod and use the characters from the game, but not allow you to use the correct Nintendo specific names. The bottom line is the creator of the game the mod is being made on will be potentially making money off of Nintendo's ideas and material. Simply giving credit just doesn't cut it in the modding world anymore.
I'm not sure if this actually applies here, I just felt that I should correct that.

Hm, I thought I addressed that here:

...Nintendo doesn't have a problem with you creating a mod based off its copyrighted intellectual material for a competing company's game engine....

I probably could have worded that better, but I'm pretty sure I addressed what you said.
Anyways...

I mention EA in my copyright, the copyright cover our code, models, textures. Check my wbesite, bottom of page, use online translator, my copyright doesn't mean dick.

The english translation of your "copyright":

Description: It acts of a modification of Command & Conquer Renegade, play deposited at EA (MT). CnC Reborn comprises models and universe based on the play rts, Tiberian Sun.

Nowhere do you list specifically what is or even can be copyrighted in your pathetic excuse for a mod nor do you differentiate between what is yours and what is EA's.
You also fail to mention how you're not copyrighting something based off someone else's work.
Would any court of any country even consider this a serious legal document?

I think that should clear it up.
| Retardin |
I sent the files of the mod as deposit for the copyright. Read the website you will understand how it works.
|
| CopyrightDeposit.com FAQ |
What is the largest size file that can be registered with your service?
The maximum limit is 10 megs. You may also submit 5 sections of 2 megs. each, etc. The total may not exceed 10 megs. Use compression software like "Winzip" if you need to compress a larger file.
|
With a 10 meg limit, there is no way you submitted the whole mod, and I doubt you differentiated between files and concepts originally owned by EA.
There's almost no way you aren't bullshitting us.

So what if you don't care about deadlines? Others do, and they believe them.
|
So, we have people like me who would rather have a deadline be missed and have the product be good (obviously the old Reborn sucked @ that, but the new Reborn is under new leadership, so until they release a public beta, shut your piehole) and then we have people like Aircraftkiller who would rather have it be released "on time" and have the product be crappy. Take a look at EA. They release crap at their deadlines all the time. But actually, Aircraftkiller, you wouldn't believe that. You actually like Battlefield 2.
Edit:

Reborn has lied about their progress. In order to punish them, showing the public that they've been lying the entire time is justice in my eyes. People who download the internal alpha see for themselves that they've been exp0sed as liars.
|
I fail to see that they've been "exposed as liars". I've played the public beta that was released a long time ago. I know how crappy that one is. Then the new management came around, and yet still little was done. Now Sloth is on their team, and I've seen a lot of improvements in a relatively short amount of time. I'm not an active beta tester of Reborn, but from what I have tested I have seen a lot of improvements in the last couple of months. For a group of people that are working on this in their spare time outside of school and work, I'd say that's a remarkable improvement. While I don't know if they'll be able to make any deadlines (nor, in fact, do I even know of the deadlines, having not frequented the Reborn site looking for deadlines), I'm confident that they are making progress, whether or not it's timely.
As for exposure and justice... it's more apparent to me that Aircraftkiller is an asshole than anything else. I say a leak (which is unethical and illegal: no matter how you look at the laws, it is illegal to distribute something somewhere without the owner's permission) deserves more "justice" than lying (which is not illegal, I might add). While I disagree that taking down the RenAlert site and then consequently moving it to somwhere else is the proper justice, I don't think that it's sufficient justice.
Edit 2:
I hope this topic ends now. It's been discussed enough already. We know what's happened.

not to get into the fray, im not trying to. but i would like to point out a technical fact, from a development standpoint.
What i remember from renegade, the presets system, and adding new/different stuff is fairly complex. So while completely possible vehicle X is done, and rigged, and tested ingame by person A, its completely possible that the one person tasked with adding presets to keep uniformity has, as of yet, not had the chance to get it merged into their presets.
Again, this is all purely hypothetical, i am just merely providing an example of where the above may in fact, be possible.

So in three years, they couldn't find the time in their "busy lives" to rig and compile all their shit and get a working beta out?
If they can't find the time to produce and release anything, why the hell work on a mod in the first place? They set this project up knowing full well (or should have known; nothing, not even the obvious, is certain with Reborn) that it would severely cut into their personal time.
Can't meet a deadline? Fine! DON'T SET ONE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! DON'T MAKE PROMISES TO THE PUBLIC YOU CAN'T KEEP!!!!
Buttfucker.
I'll be sure to hit you on the head with a tack hammer the next time I write something sarcastic. Just to make it obvious enough for you.
Wait, that must be the Tourettes.
