Copyright for screenshots, Nordock and map?
Copyright for screenshots, Nordock and map?
A long time, really long actually, I was thinking about making a chapter storybook for children based on screenshots from Nordock. I'm a terrible artist. My intention was never to sell the book. Then Nordock went down. Only Revenge survived and I never dare to venture too far in there.
Now, Epic is up again and I feel as if I've got the opportunity back that I thought was lost forever. The questions are:
1: What kind of copyright has the world of Nordock?
2: What kind of copyright has the maps of Nordock?
3: What kind of copyright has a screenshot taken by me while playing a toon in the world?

The original mod falls under copyright to all the original authors of the content. Making your own maps would belong to you. Screenshots at this point aren't hurting anyone so feel free to use them in any way that isn't vulgar

Thank you Raradra, I'm already thinking of a plot suitable to children who loved "Frost"

Next problem...
I have two different sets of NWN CD:s since my son and I was playing. To take screenshots, I think the best is to use two different computers, taking pictures of one player fronm another players wievpoint. But that is impossible. When I try to log in to the Epic server, I am booted with the older PC. The new one works as a charm. I have no problem entering Revenge with both computers.
Is this some kind of checkpoint to prohibit people to use two different accounts in the same game world? I found an old thread about this that mentioned that it was better to ask on Facebook, which I tried too, but someone has to let me into the group.

Re: Copyright for screenshots, Nordock and map?
I do have different CD keys and different ports. I can log in to Revenge without problem. The problem here is that even if I don't have the other computer running at all, I still get the message "You have been booted" when trying to enter Epic with my oldre PC.
.Gxtun seem to have had a similar problem some years ago:

One other thing - are both PCs updated to the latest critical rebuild of 1.69? English files are here, other versions may exist elsewhere: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=10

Re: Copyright for screenshots, Nordock and map?
I got a thorough explanation about the problem from Xillie (username visa CD-key) and I realize that the problem comes from me trying to log in with the same playername from different PC's which violates the idea behind the servers security structure. My bad. I need to roll up another character under a completely new player name for Epic to make it work. According to Xillie.
