I really want to know for the buildings and such, for the characters I think yes because many of them are alsoi ncluded in the DarkMITTEN pack from the game creators who also are made for in gameplay

you need to read thier liscence info for these models. I am not going to look at the models because I haven't the time right now. But if they can be converted to an .x format I'm sure you could use them providing you do not commercialy release the game unless you own a liscence for them. and then most of us would like to see a copy of the liscence since there have been a few people stealing models and textures and trying to re-sell them to the community.

Geo-metricks Limited Commercial License FAQ :

1. Are the images and animations I create using the Geo-metricks models royalty free ?
Yes, the use and distribution of 2D images/renderings/animations created using Geo-metricks models is royalty free. This means that you can use the images you create for whatever purpose you chose and in any file format. You can sell your images, give them away free, make them available for download in the web etc.... The license restrictions only apply to the distribution of the 3D models/meshes not the images or animations created with them.

2. What am I allowed to do with the Geo-metricks models ?
The Limited Commercial license (which is included in the purchase price) authorizes the distribution of Geo-metricks 3D models solely as 'integrated components' within your 3D game/application.

3. When I distribute my game/application, do the models have to be encrypted ?
Yes, Geo-metricks models must be encrypted/protected from third parties and the end user.

4. Can I use the models as part of a 3d clip art/stock library ?
No, Geo-metricks models may not be distributed as 3D clipart/stock libraries or stand alone 3D models without a full commercial license - this also applies to any derivative models in any file format.

5. Can I release my game which includes Geo-metricks models before purchasing a full commercial license ?
Yes you can release your commercial product and distribute up to 10,000 units before you need to purchase a full commercial license.

-----------

Please just read the FAQ they let you download in the future.

Ok basically you have to own either a limited or full commercial liscence before you can do anything with the models. The only difference is the 10,000 unit distro. So with that being said (Thanks Higgins) you could feasibly use the models but it would cost some money to get either limited ot full liscence. the money you spend on each model or pack would be better spent on tools to learn how to do it yourself. You would end up saving money in the long run just buying the program and tools to learn how to do it yourself, since buying models can get rather expensive.

So if I were to take a model and edit it to my needs (change physiscal features, skin and animation) basically make it un-related to the origional I could still be in violation and held under the liscence agreement? (Don't worry, will never steal someones model and claim it as my own, I can barely draw a stick figure let alone model something in 3d)Turbo-squid seems to be to big of a hassle for the media.

I think the static models would not be too difficult to convert for FPSC use. They come in 3ds format which you must convert to X or DBO. There's a few free convertors on these forums. Then to get them into the FPSC as entities you could use TGC's entity maker (free) or if you need a GUI then Bullshocks entity maker.
When it comes to characters, I really can't say. I've been making some characters, and I think to convert those models would take abit of work, including some knowledge of a 3d program.

Looking at the pricing of the packages, I would say to wait a bit. There are a few people here on the forums working on some model packs. Bond1 is working on the TGC model pack. Do you already have the TGC model pack #1? If you don't, might want to check that out.

Currently, when you build and distribute your game with FPSC, the models and media are not protected. So to comply with the license you would need something like FPSPack (http://fpspack.rastaworld.com/) which has a free and commercial version.

I think you mean DarkMATTER pack, mittens are something else .
