Metadata review- 1.7.1 Epic Owned IP

Summary

So You have started the metadata prechecks, which is cool. Right now something in my island is tagged and I have no idea what and how to fix it. Would be even cooler to actually list any assets that trigger the alarm. The only thing that comes to my mind is the lightsaber workbench, which You yourselves promote to migrate to our projects and use them on our islands. Other than that the island is built around what is present in the editor and some textures/materials.

Please select what you are reporting on:

Unreal Editor for Fortnite

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Assets

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a project and migrate stuff from Epic’s Templates or use instances of some materials provided in UEFN
  2. Create a new release

Expected Result

The migrated stuff is not of concern because it is promoted to do so.

Observed Result

Every once in a while something gets flagged and there is no indication what can You fix, so there You go doing random stuff untill it’s gone or You get banned.

Platform(s)

Any

hi all,

Please read the EXTRA Brand rules for [STAR WARS™ Brand Rules] including Lightsabre’s

STAR WARS™ Brand Rules in Fortnite | Fortnite Documentation | Epic Developer Community

the original Epic Brand rules are

Legal — IP FAQ - Epic Games

as an Indie Dev reading this in my IMHO is DONT TOUCH most stuff use as seen

The are loads of threads about these IP problems

Everything is according to these rules and few versions passed the moderation. Last update was only changing some verse stuff and progression pace. Nothing from Star Wars is edited and the reasoning points to illegal usage of Epic’s stuff. The only pulled stuff is from template which they themselves tell how to import into Your project and use.

Whatever it is, point of this thread is to update the metadata message to actually point at dirty assets.<<

I even don’t use any extra icons of star wars weapons or vehicles because they instantly got tagged as illegal and then You join any similar map and they are allowed to do so

hi Sadly thats the way it goes.

Why developers are sent here is unknown, because we can do nothing.

There are loads of similar threads just leave until the next release and maybe they will let you try again. If you keep on you will get banned!, like the others.

Maybe try export into a blank star wars island and try later, dunno what to do

My only hope is that someone like @Flak reaches out to actually check my island code and provide details.

The status of FORT-1104592 changed to ‘Needs Triage’. We are routing this to the appropriate team for investigation.

still nothing
