Raindrop Mod

[aTam]

Anyone know how to get in contact with them besides twitter?

I was wondering if I could use their custom map content stuff to make a CSS map with for my new CSS game mode I made (Hoping to have the map ready for CS: GO too). I thought it looks really great.

If anyone knows how I can get permission to use their great stuff let me know.

On a semi-serious note, the Raindrop team won't release anything, and neither should they. Get your own content.

I have always shared my own content. There is a possibility they may share with me as others have. Why do you think they shouldn't?

For me to use their content to create a CSS map would be a lot of fun, and just more usage out of the content people put time into. It is best to share, you don't think so?

They have gone commercial therefore there is like no chance they will release anything.

People who share content they've created do it because they created it for that sole purpose, or because it wasn't made for a professional project.

I actually didn't know the team working on Raindrop went commercial until reading this thread. Since that's the case, you're never going to get any of their content until the game is actually out, and even then I wouldn't condone porting their content to use for yourself.

Hell I highly doubt they'd share their content if it were still just a mod.

Anyone who releases a game shares their content with the modding world.

Yes, it becomes available because people like to crack in to game archives or use 3D Ripper DX to grab scenes from games, but it doesn't mean it's proper to throw it in your own level in Source. It's cheap. Not all developers say "Hey here's our game, now go virtually molest it with 3D Ripper DX or crack the game archives and use our models and textures in your own maps." There's companies like Microsoft or GSC World that legalize it for their games, and that's cool and all, but that still doesn't mean you should use it for your own map. Nothing can stop people from doing it though, so it's really not worth debating. It's almost like trying to debate software piracy; there's always 3 sides to it.

You should either browse the internet looking for assets that people are willingly sharing, or learn to make your own. Besides, if you're serious about going in to the industry in the future, learning to make any kind of asset is very helpful. You can make awesome maps that consist of entirely self-made assets and you can build a portfolio for yourself.

It doesn't really hurt if you send off an email to one of the developers.
