Hi, as many of you might now, I am working on my Project the Hauptstrecke Hannover-Hamburg. So far I have always just used the objects from other Routes such as Frankfurt-Fulda, Dresden-Riesa, Hamburg-Lübeck and Vorarlberg. Now I am wondering how I would get the Objects into my "Hauptstrecke Hannover-Hamburg Content" folder. Will this cause problems later on? If so, how can I solve them. Thanks for helping!
It's a copyright infringement to the EULA (End User License Agreement) to copy the assets of official routes into our own route plugin. We are not allowed to do that. We are not the copyright owner of these assets, so we are not allowed to distribute freeware route mods with them inside. The only thing DTG grants us to do is to reference the objects in the original DLC for our routes. In this way, users which want to use our route mods are also required to own the respective DLC, so it's a benefit for DTG to allow so and no copyright infringement as the original artwork by DTG is just referenced. However, what you of course are allowed to do, is to import your own created (Blender, Maya etc.) or otherwise free or paid acquired assets (Fab, formerly Unreal Marketplace) and use them right from your plugin. For your own content, you are the copyright owner and can decide what you want to do with it. For assets of others you acquired, you might have to check the distribution conditions at the place where you got these assets from, whether the copyright owner is okay with you using their assets for a publicly available mod or private use only.
