If Clan Deviants has chosen to distribute your work from our website, it is possible that we have also taken the liberty of making certain modifications to your distribution without asking permission.
These modifications apply to the way you originally distributed the content, NOT to the (assumed) copyrighted content itself. Specifically,
- If you distributed your archive in any format other than as a .ZIP archive file, your content has be re-archived as a .ZIP file.
- If you omitted folder location information in your archive, your content has been re-archived with complete folder information starting with "UTGame."
- If you included folder location information but it starts anywhere other than with "UTGame," it has been re-archived starting with "UTGame."
- If you included non-game-essential files, such as a Readme file or screenshots, they have been included but may have be re-archived in a different folder location than that which you specified.
- If you included duplicate screenshots (in various sizes or resolutions, for example), in the re-archiving process we may omit some or all of the duplicates at our discretion.
- If your screenshots are (in our opinion) overly large .bmp files, we may reformat them as .jpg files (or use some other compressed image format) before re-archiving them. Generally we will not crop or resize your screenshots, but "generally" does not mean "never." If you include 6144x4608 .bmp files, expect them to be reformatted and resized.
- In some (rare) cases we may feel that additional information is necessary and we may add a Readme file of our own to the archive. It will be clear that this file is our work and not part of the original project.
- If you included content for multiple platforms, PC/PS3/Xbox, in your single archive, the content distributed here has been re-archived to include only the PC content and related non-game-essential files. In other words, the PS3 and/or Xbox specific content has been removed. The reason for this is that our server only supports PC connections and this site is specifically intended as a support site for our server.
- If PS3 and/or Xbox content has been removed and this offends you, you may e-mail {DvT}JonahHex and politely request that we make this content available. We will comply with your request as follows: the PS3 content will be archived in its own separate .ZIP file; likewise the Xbox content; links to these additional archive(s) will be added to the website in the comments area for your content; it will be clearly labeled, readily accessible, but unobtrusive.
We feel that that these modifications to the packaging of the content are acceptable "fair use" and diminish neither your creative work nor your credit for that work.
If the terms above are not acceptable to you, feel free to ask Hex to remove your content from our website. We will comply — it will be removed from our server as well. If we felt that one or more of the above modifications to the distribution were necessary, as evidenced by the fact that they were made, we will not replace our distribution with your original one and we will forego using your work altogether.
[Note: Some of the content placed on this website shortly after UT3 was released, and before this policy was developed, was not re-archived and re-uploaded according to the points above. It will be.]
