Yes it does. It really does.

Some authors are dead set against people turning their creations into Sodor related rollingstock. (Dunno why...they just do. I personally think of it as a compliment since theirs were good enough for us to choose.) If you reskin stuff for your own personal use, you don't need to ask permission...however, if you plan to upload them to UKTS (or anywhere else) you need to ask them if you may reskin them first.

(lol I love how the three biggest TtTE reskin nuts on UKTS all responded to that first

)

I've just re-installed my mstssodor route, and all the locos.....i sense a mass upload in screenshots today he he he

Oh, and mousepound64, yes you do need permission from the auther of the model, and also if you are only slightly modifying a reskin ( e.g a truck, but the trucks were also reskinned once before and you haven't changed the textures ), then you also need the permission of the person who reskinned it before you did.

you dont do it on here mousepound

you best way is to email the author of the model you download.

*edit*
Also i think you'll find the mail car was a bit longer than a milk van

Yup, it's just how Daz said it

(both concerning the email bit and the "mail car longer than milk van" part)

Also you might also want to ask the original authors of the coal truck and breakvan you reskined....just so that later there isn't a chance of a big ugly mess.

I did email the owner. besides, why hasn't the Donald & Douglas twin pack been released yet, and other creations? Sometimes the owners don't reply when you ask them to give permission to reskin & release things. Sometimes they just delete it, thinking it's nothing or junk mail.

If you don't get a reply it mean no.
Find another wagon and get permission first.

If you use anything without permission it will be removed from the library if the author complains.

It can be that they are fully completed or that we do not wish to upload them......kinda like wot i'm thinking of at the moment. My Donald, Douglas and Rusty won't be uploaded until well after my other projects are done.

why not? I can't remember if it was you or Daz making the Island of Sodor route. Ah, oh well, as long as I can find some rolling stock.....

Also, if one of you are making the route, is there a good prediction of when the route will be released? I also predict that it's going to be in seperate files, just like all non-setup routes come like that

I will offer to Mr Gourlay to make a 'staggered' installer.

Thing is, the Sodor route is barely 50% complete, and with my social life, studying and B&KRTS work, i have barely time for anything else

also, how do you edit your identity so that you can edit the location? I can't find the link 4 it.

mousepound64-I'm afriad you've used the wrong model for your brakevan screen-should be more like this:

But still, not a bad skin for a first attempt!
