It's pretty, although pine trees never turn red/orange.

I'd be quite surprised if Nintendo didn't agree with you. You're not wrong, unfortunately, this is seen under the the law as stealing of intellectual property. But I think that you'd be hard pressed to justify that it is indeed stealing. The indie developers who make these charge no money for the many long hours they put in to make these games, which are truly derived with only love and nostalgia for the IP in mind. There are a number of companies that welcome this sort of behavior from the community, for those very reasons. I'm sorry we can't agree on this, I just feel that while maybe from a legal standpoint you're right, ethically it makes no sense to turn these people in so that their hard work is cancelled.

I never said the games were covered under fair use, I was arguing from an ethical standpoint. You may idolize the law, but the law is not infallible. There are enough cases of this that I feel it would be seen as purely belligerent of me to list them, but since you insinuate that remaking a game for fun and out of love for the intellectual property is on the same moral level as raping women and stealing the possessions of others, then I'll list just one. In 1896 the Supreme Court ruled that separate but equal facilities for different races were lawful. I admit that this is an extreme example, but it does illustrate my point, that the law of this land is not always right. I never argued that doing this was not criminal, I simply argued that from an ethical standpoint there was nothing wrong with these people doing what they are doing. People argue all the time about if the law of the land is right or wrong, that's the spirit of democracy at work. Additionally, unlike many laws, the laws that protect the big game developers can sometimes fall into a moral grey area. I've never heard of anyone questioning if it's morally sound to take part in the crimes you listed, obviously, those things are wrong, and you don't need the law to tell you that. But the indie developers working on remastering and remaking these games have both literally nothing to gain from doing so and have no malicious intent whatsoever. I understand that perhaps what they are doing is against the law, and in order for there to be a well functioning society it is the duty of the citizens to enforce the laws just as much as it is the duty of law enforcement. My point is that not every law is right, and people should not take the law as a moral code.

Hey man. Is it wrong to remaster an old game? It depends if it's protected under fair use or if it's still copyrighted, but ethically, it doesn't seem wrong to make something for free out of love. As for the crime aspect, maybe it's criminal, but you don't have to like it, and you don't have to play it. Nintendo is not your friend either; there are very few companies that have the interests of the players and fans in mind. If you want to ruin everyone's fun and shoot down hopeful young studios and developers, then go ahead and report them. Otherwise, it's not going to hurt Nintendo or any of the companies who made these games, some of which are now defunct, if these remakes and remasters get made. I wouldn't be so quick to support gaming behemoths over people who DO have the best interests of the players at heart, which is why they make these things for fun and for free.

Any plans for a Star Wars Rebels mod??????????? I see all these great clone wars mods and it makes me wish we had some for Rebels too, even if it's not as great as Clone Wars.

justinprivitera - - 26 comments @ Any UI mods?

There are tons of mods that change the main menu, one that comes to mind is the pirates of the caribbean mod. Unfortunately, I don't think I've ever encountered any mods that only change the UI and nothing else. The mods that I have seen that change the UI only change the colors and background, nothing major.

Before I download, I'm curious as to what the mod changes about the troopers? Does it change the textures of the sides? Or does it change the weapons? What does this particular file change aside from the cockpits?

justinprivitera - - 26 comments @ Star Wars Battlefront Conversion Pack

So while some of the units might be similar or the same, they have new skins on some of the maps, like if you play clone wars on one of the BF1 Kashyyyk maps you'll see new trooper skins. Otherwise, there are new classes for each army on all the custom map in the mod, and all the units for the kotor era are new. The units for Classic Conquest are kind of new since they're more similar to their BF1 counterparts than they are to BF2. So there are a **** ton of new units, and as you've probably seen, lots of new heroes.

On the BF1 maps you can play as a bunch of new units. You can also play with BF1 units if you do Classic Conquest. Also Order 66 gives playable jedi units.

Hey guys. Recently I've been playing the conversion pack to re-live some memories, and I've gotten really annoyed at the invincible AI heroes. Does anyone know of any way to remove them from the mod, or disable them?

Thanks; for the lasers I was thinking how the Force Awakens mod made them light up the area around them and they looked a lot more like how we know them from the movies and TV shows.

Hello, does anyone know of any mods that change the lasers to look like the movies for the base game? (i.e. the force awakens era mod). Also does anyone know of any mods that add first person starfighter cockpits to the base game? And finally, are there any mods that eliminate the point requirement to unlock new classes? Sometimes I just want to play the Dark Trooper in BF2 to start the match instead of playing BF1 from the conversion pack. Thanks!!!
