Am I allowed to use a custom gamesys file from someones FM or do I have to get permission? Because I don't know how to make my own:confused:

Hi Sneaky Guy,
It shouldn't be a problem providing you get permission from the Author first.

I'd say you should just make your own. There's nothing to it at all. Why specifically do you need someone else's?

It's much simplier and easier to make your own gamesys along when you build your own mission.

Save your modified mis as cow. A cow includes the gamesys. You can work on your mission using the cow-format until it's (almost) finished. Then type set_gamesys xxx (xxx is the name of your gam). Save the gam, save the mis.
If you need the change a lot of stuff in the gamesys, it can take many hours. In this case, it's better to ask someone for a appropriate gamesys that fits your needs. ;)

Having used other taffers' gamesys files in a couple of FMs, I'd advise against it. While it seems as the easy way there's always some trade-off that may cause you grief later on down the road. Some authors like to delete original content from the gamesys for reasons unknown. Then, when you've got 100 hours invested in the build and find out all the potions have been removed from the gamesys, for example, your wife will wonder why you've all of a sudden become Mr. Grouch.

Sneaky Guy, are you using the dedx gamesys or the dark gamesys? The dedx gamesys contains almost everything you'd need for a mission containing no custom textures and such.

Yeah nevermind about a custom gamesys from another level, I've just used DEDX01.gam now
