Is it possible to rip the textures from Arx Fatalis? I remember seeing some purty sand textures down in the crypts and I would really love to use some of them in my T2 fan mission. I was able to find (

You can't do that. The only game you can legally reuse textures from for a Thief mission is Thief. Read your license agreement.

we can probably grant you the right to use one texture from Arx ;) as long as you don't make money with the mod

Then why so many FMs do use textures from other games ? I think it's allright to use them because we're not making any profit here.

Either (a) they have obtained permission to do so (very kind, Raf); or (b) (probably the more likely scenario) they just don't care that they're breaching their license agreement by doing so, and the owner of the game can't be bothered to make an issue of it (if they even find out, which the modders are likely counting on not happening).

Sorry, that's a ridiculous statement. If you believe that it's alright, then have the courtesy to contact the owner and obtain their approval. In this case they obviously agree, but you can't just generalise like that and assume that no one will mind if you use their work without permission.
