Hi,
in the enemy-territory.com forums I’ve found a thread with an idea of a mod.
Hello, I would like to start a mod based on the blizzard game Star Craft. I’m going to need some good scripters, mappers, skinners, modelers and someone that can make a website. If you are interested and want some more info E-mail me at JSS92@hvc.rr.com

Starting a new mod
lol, and I would like someone to do all the work for me so I can stand around and give orders and take all the credit.
Make sure that Blizzard is fine with you using their IP before you start, else you’ll potentially be throwing a lot of work away.
I would suggest simply changing the names and not copying their character ideas. Natural Selection seems to take a lot of ideas from Starcraft (hive mind aliens that evolve fighting human marines? yeah that’s original :P), yet do it in a way that isn’t considered “stealing” (by copyright/trademark law).
You think that was original to Starcraft? Maybe you haven’t heard of a little movie called Aliens, or this book, “Starship Troopers”?
I’m not sure Blizzard would be willing for them to do that, at least not calling it “Starcraft.” Like RR2DO2 said, if they start modelling and mapping already but suddenly realize Blizzard won’t allow it, they would have a lot of wasted work on their hands…
