The old community project Realmwars?

I happened to have the old copy of Realmwars before the link went dead. I know that alot of the art was ported over to 1.5 (elf, some of the enviroment stuff). But what about the other artwork within that project. from what i understand it was for the community by the community. I wanted to use some of the models within with some retexturing and some careful placement, into my own material. But i wasnt sure where that material stood as far as the shapes and interiors.

specifically i wanted to use the galleons and the statues :) but there are some other items like the hangman that do bring a bit of a smile to myself when i walk through the demo :P

also on the subject of realmwars. Is it true there is a ultratopsecret project called Realmwars 2 in the works?

Any response on this? Most posts i could find are from 2004, and alot the actual code if not all of it has been posted on the site. If its copyrighted in some way, that info would be nice too.
Is the information from the realmwars site still relavent? it says i can use the source as long as i have a liscense. Which is why i was wondering if it extended to the artwork with it as well.

I thought that the artwork was specifically oriented to the RW project and not open to licensees, but I may be mistaken. Perhaps it was parts of the code from back in the day. I can't recall. That was a long time ago.

I know thats why i was asking, the info is kinda out of date and i know alot of it was already ported over . but there are a few bits that i was wondering about, keep in mind the elf and afew other itrems were specifically RWs too.

This is where i had gotten the CVS
http://www.realmwarsgame.com/downloads/index.shtml

and here it states regarding the source.

http://www.realmwarsgame.com/dev/index.shtml

Im assuming that this project has been released to the community providing that Realmwars gets the credit for any art. or do i need to track down the specific artist, or does my TGE liscence cover the Realmwars material.

Can I get a Employee response on this issue, i spoke to Logan-MGT in the IRC, He said it was ok, as long as i gave credit for whatever art i did use. Is that all i need to talk too, or does the above source cover the art as wel. (provided i make mention of the art being used.
