I have just a question Cardia : Who you think you are?
We just adviced you! You have published object from games and credited as Unknown Author objects from website that inform us about the true author.
I though it was due to careless, but according to your answer, it sounds you know you were doing wrong and you don't care about it so it is stealing.
I don't know what's wrong with you for feeling "dude" as an insult while everybody is calling each other dude on the web, or seeing xenophobia in our replies.
We just inform you that authors are owner of their creation and this is not because repository is not own by us, you are free to behave like this.
And there are nothing related with xenophobia, we don't care about your person, where you came from, why, or anything else but we care about what you are doing!
So it is too hard for you to just fix credits and remove objects protected by licences? Fine!
So then this mission has been made by Unknown author :

From wikipedia (ref. (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dude) Dude):
[INDENT]The word may have derived from the Scottish term for clothes, duddies.[5] The term "dude" was first used in print in 1876, in Putnam's Magazine, to mock how a woman was dressed (as a "dud"/dude).[5] The use of the word "dudde" for clothing in English goes as far back as 1567.[6]
In the popular press of the 1880s and 1890s, "dude" was a new word for "dandy" – an extremely well-dressed male, a man who paid particular importance to how he appeared. The café society and Bright Young Things of the late 1800s and early 1900s were populated with dudes. Young men of leisure vied to show off their wardrobes. The best known of this type is probably Evander Berry Wall, who was dubbed "King of the Dudes" in 1880s New York and maintained a reputation for sartorial splendor all his life. This version of the word is still in occasional use in American slang, as in the phrase "all duded up" for getting dressed in fancy clothes.[7]
The word was used to refer to Easterners and referred to a man with "store bought clothes". The word "dude" derived from the Spanish phrase "lo dudo" meaning "doubtful".[8][better source needed] The word was used by cowboys to unfavorably refer to the city dwellers.[9]
... [/INDENT]This last may be some of the source of misunderstanding. It may be a language thing. In English, the term has now taken on a counter cultural, affectionate meaning "for an individual. It typically applies to men, although the word can encompass either sex." (op cit) But perhaps in the romance languages it is still a bit of a put down. I'm just guessing.

"Dude" in American slang is just another word for a guy, don't be offended Cardia-no harm was intended. As for copyright issues, when in doubt-try to contact the original object maker and ask permission to use their stuff. Most guys are happy to let you as long as you give credit in your readme.

Yeah, Pedro, people here are giving sound advice and you're rejecting it because you just don't want to do it. It doesn't work that way. Listen to your peers who have been very helpful in the past, and heed their suggestions and advice. And don't assume your thoughts on copyright infringement apply to everyone else in the world.
Also, I don't get the obsession with uploading all the modern and futuristic stuff, when you're the only one who really uses it. Just keep it in your own private collection. Thief is a medieval game, and most people aren't interested in that stuff.
And I don't know about xenophobia, but this is an English forum, so speak English.

If i´m contacted not to upload objects , then i´ll quit uploading objects including the ones (t2x/cosas3/firemage ladyJo) that Squadarofl gave me to
upload.
The purpose of the site is to host objects made by taffers, for taffers. We are all happy to see objects from the sources you mentioned, and appreciate the effort you're going to.
Things from other games are not permitted. The same goes for objects on general purpose object sites such as (
http://tf3dm.com/), unless you get permission from the person who created the object (which I insist on seeing).
When it comes to Thief objects on other websites, whose authors cannot be contacted. I'm sure most of them would say yes, but one should be on the safe side. Download the objects for yourself, but when sharing, just direct people to the website.

You may have to contact him directly to communicate that. He said he was done reading this thread.
