After searching old DMs, it would seem that yes, you're correct. I granted you that permission three years ago (July 7th, 2021). However, that was three years ago, and with no release until now (unless I'm mistaken and it had its own thread on the old forum), I figured you would've asked again just to double check before releasing. Additionally, I granted that permission on the condition that you credit me, by name, for the original.
My name is not mentioned at all within your README or any other document that I've tried searching for.

If you're going to make a ToS or EULA type thing for your content, there's a few things you need to know. First, these types of documents aren't *actually* legally binding. I'm not a lawyer but there's a lot of nuance and loopholes for that stuff. If you're going to write one of these, you need to make sure it's available for people to read *BEFORE* they download it. If by somehow this thing had any chance of holding up in court (again, it doesn't), then it would be immediately thrown out because someone downloaded and accepted to your terms without even reading what they are in the first place.
Speaking of ToS, I'm flattered you decided to copy approximately 21.5% of my own agreement, of which I've included some of the more egregious examples below. Although, I shouldn't really call it that, since when I made my document I wrote it as more of a set of guidelines that, ultimately, entrusts this community with my work. You know, being fine with people sharing my work as long as they credit me (albeit written in a long-winded way), people's assets belonging to them, and just a general "I'm not responsible for your seizures". The thing is, this other 78.5% of what you've done there? It completely removes that nuance. It looks like you've only copied the parts that interested you, their outlines and corporate speak, without reading how they're used in context with everything else. This in turn makes much of what you've written, or attempt to get across, contradict itself.
"[tnt] The Nano Tower's contents (Sounds, musics, sprites, images, story, characters, etc) shouldn't be modified or used anywhere else unless told otherwise by their respective owner Angelius. Editing these resources infringes on the respective owner's rights and creative property and will not be tolerated. Contents made by members of [tntpt] The Nano Tower Projects team are property of Angelius what this means is that even if a member of [tntpt] The Nano Tower Projects Team doesn't want to participate on [tntpt] The Nano Tower Projects Team the provided content will still remain in [tntpt] The Nano Tower Projects Team and Angelius's possession."
Here, for instance, you claim that the entirety of the project's work (presumably, including your team's) belongs to its "respective" owner, which is you, and only you. This is further proven by another statement in this document:
"Only Angelius is responsible for this project meaning only him can edit this project or give permission for others to perform this action, the same also holds any right to take down any projects that uses [tnt] The Nano Tower's files, story or characters."
Additionally, if your content has no association with Megaman or 8BDM as you say it does, then it shouldn't feel the need to try and brag about its accomplishments in comparison to those communities. It should be able to stand strong on its own legs, with no support, as your claims state.
Look. This isn't my project and these aren't my rules. But, if you're going to do this sort of thing, you need to be upfront honest with your potential user base. Your terms need to make sense and you need to not contradict yourself, especially since at the time of writing, it appears as if your project still relies on part of 8BDM in order to accomplish its goal (IE: using these forums and not the doom ones).
I understand I don't "own" how I do my formatting, but generally speaking, approximately 15% to 20% of plagiarism is deemed "acceptable" before it just looks bad. In my opinion, that's even a little too high, as I would only aim for about 5% to 10%.

This is an announcer based off a memetic AI voice known as "Daniel UK". Due to this mod's nature, it should work for other Doom-adjacent titles, it isn't exclusive to just MM8BDM. Put this inside your announcer folder.
CHANGELOG
This is a music pack that is comprised of Genesis/Megadrive arrangements of various Megaman songs that replace core MM8BDM's music. It currently covers everything minus MM9, MM10, and MMV. The vast majority of these tunes are done by a single person, LegendOfRenegade, while the remaining are taken directly from the Wily Wars Soundtrack. Put this inside your skins folder.
README
CHANGELOG
This is a taunts pack for classes based modifications that takes advantage of the gender feature to switch between two (technically three) taunt packs. Switching to Male will replace your taunt with stuff "a younger me" selected while switching to female will allow you to use the original (not Gondola) CBM's taunts from the same time period. Switching to Other, while it can hold a third taunt pack, will simply change your taunt to "Congratulations! You Won!" from all the spam advertisements provided from those shady internet websites. Put this inside your skins folder.
CHANGELOG
This is an accessibility mod I was asked to complete. It stops the animating textures in MM10CHI's stage from animating, providing a more static texture "appearance". If you intend on playing the map and the animating textures' lights negatively affect you, please load this mod alongside your server rotation.

Eclipse Stadium - American Football
==================================================================================================
==================================================================================================
This mode is comprised of two (technically three if you count the server config) primary components. The first is the map, Eclipse Stadium, which is a massive football field complete with stands, a locker room, and showers. It has an assortment of bells and whistles that aim to invoke the feeling of "the game". There's a number of map "skins" which aim to shake things up and are randomly selected on match start. The second is the weapon, which does exactly what it says on the box. It's an infinite use, one shotting, BreakDash, which was done to resemble tackling mechanics.
Uses DoomED/Actor numbers 18516 and 22110.

I reserve the right to deny entries, but as long as you're a decent human being about it, the chances of that happening are basically zero. Newly accepted billboards will be added to future versions.
