Authorization to use the HL2RP Map?
« on: March 20, 2012, 07:39:03 PM »
Hello Catalyst Gaming. I just wanted to ask if there is any condition or guideline that you could lean me on using the current HL2RP map for a server that I run myself. I will not disclose links, names, or any other information leading to my community for the respect I have for the staff here. The reason I want to use the map is simply because it's absolutely perfectly done. No other city map compares to it and it's the spice I need in my community. I'm a proud donator here at Catalyst Gaming, and I'd just like to know how to respectfully carry this out.

I'd much rather ask for permission than to go behind your backs and use it, so I just want to know, under WHAT conditions is this doable under. The credits will remain in place and a small cG tribute will be made to it in the event that it is edited. cG will never be taken out of the name of the map.

While we cannot physically stop you, we'd rather you not and won't be very happy if you do.
Please don't PM me regarding bans or anything having to do with in-game situations. Only PM me if you've been told I am the only one who can solve your issue.

Well Rofl, It's just so excellently done, the other maps are just so unorganized and I have OCD! :0

Surely there has to be some sort of agreement. I don't want you to harm my community and I don't want you guys to feel jipped.

No offense Rofl, but it isn't your map. It's Statua's map. He is the person who can authorize usage, not you. So, Klashy, I'd wait for Statua to respond.

Pretty sure he's talking about the city.

The city map is branded by cg thus not intended to be used by other servers. In other words, no.

I might be blind or so, but I remembered seeing multiple HL2RP communities using the Catalyst city map? How come?

If you actually read what was posted: We can't stop people from using it, but we wouldn't like it if you did since the map is featured for CG.

Anyways, it's Kazuo/Frohman who made the map, so it should be his call.

Pretty sure Kaz released it to the public domain then disappeared completely.
