I know what you mean. I would like to put some other things in my mod, That I thought of but was implemented by someone else. I do have an idea which willl make my Mod my OWN. Now just cause i post it here DOESNT MEAN ANYONE CAN USE IT WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. Buyable running lights! what do you think eh?

hehe nice touch.

My point is not about ideas, its about act stuff ive created. I dont mind people using my ideas if they make the stuff them selves but if they want to use my stuff id like to be emailed about it first and given some credit when they do release a mod with my stuff in it.

Not much to ask.

Todate, only 1 mod maker has bothered giving me any credit for the work of mine he used. The rest have used it and claimed it as there own. They can deny it but the abense of a thank you and the presence of my work can only be read one way by any sane person.

Those that have contacted me so far have not been disappointed and have even gained from it and probably will gain even more in the future.

From the law office at Rakin and Poser (gta3)
Well yes. For example I recreated Freeport7 (hard work, very hard)
In actual time to get it working (well working on it) Probably 10 hours.
To try to figure out how the f*** to get it working, 2-4 months. I gave up after a while, but once i looked at one of the ini files and saw that it could work.

Giskard,

Your work is appreciated by the ordinary folk out there in netherspace, I downloaded your excellent work on factions and houses and use it as a reference to work out as best I can the subtle balance of forces present in the Freespace universe... Believe me you are recognised even if people would rather throw "brickbats than bouquets" - to borrow a quote.

Regards,

Harrier.

Hello.

I think im going to make a list of items I definately do not what other mod makers pinching in Version 6. So they know which areas I regard as HU material and thus the stuff I see as making HU different from other peoples mods and what stuff i dont mind them using.

Anything i see that vaguely sounds like HU remodded will be highlighted, however, anything that is customised to the point that its now a new mod and not a straight copy of HU features can be ignored.

I think this is best course of action.

I have a history of sharing modding material with others on my website but this is the first time in any community ive modded for that I have seen the whole sale coping of other peoples mods taking place and going unchecked.

Im sure nobody wants to see 16 identical mods for download out there.

Well first of all... Hostile Universe v5 is absolutely great!! Especially after I found Battleship Row by accident. Now I can finally get a Sabre, be freindly with the bad people and kick some ass!!

But to the point, you probably have allready heard of my now mod, "The Galapagus Mod", but I want to use some of your ships like the galaxy transport, but not the really important ships like the shadow strike as I know that would definatly spoil the fun of Hostile Universe.

I am also going to use other ships like the Slave1 and A-Wing pack from Porsche 'Cause they're great.

I am NOT actually going to make it that your ships fly around, but you can buy them.

I am only checking if this is fine with you. I can break off the project anytime. Just tell me in my other topic, which is also in the Mod Announcement forum, called something with "Galapagus mod". At the moment I am waiting for Sshan (the guy who makes the 2D ed) to finish my request.

Pleaz reply, Kendo THM!!

Yes sure, np there.

The ships are only small part of HU and not the primary part. At least in my view, i expect Version 6 will also covert a few people to my way of thinking too when they see it

In regard to the ships that is.

The primary areas i regard as HU only and want to keep it that way are the systems and some of the other features. Eg hyperspace, newmars, Battleship row and the rumours and news, stuff like that. They all built HU up where as the ships are just a small part of that.

However drop me a email first listing your name and mod and what you want to do so i know. I may forget otherwise

Also, if a bug appears that i fix, i can inform you then and make sure you know theres an updated model.

Makes it easier all around.

Can i call dick tracy?

Heretic

I hear ya gisk! I am a bit peeved myself! Some of the stuff I have been working on have been appearing in other mods and I am not even getting asked and they are using THE EXACT SAME CODE!!!

IF YOU USE STUFF GIVE CREDIT WHERE IT IS DUE PEOPLE!!!

I just gave a beta out of the new mod I am working on and I find it has already been distributed and people are ripping the code from it!!

Tutorials, Utilties, Mods, and much more.

Im glad its not just me.

k.

Oh yeah, forgot to tell you. actually no. Can't tell you on the forum. Might accidently give the location of the system away!!I'll mail you.

P.S, Make the Nomads a teenie bit stronger!!

The ones who have havn't...
The ones who don't do...

There. I've sent the e-mail.

ooops!!!!! Forgot to tell you my e-mail address!!

Its: [email protected]

I got yours from your profile. Just saying in case you forgot about it!!!!

The ones who have havn't...

Already replied to your email mate.

You should be able to make a start with your mod. Dont forget. Any questions, just fire off an email and i'll answer them.

However, at the end of day it is you that must do the work and learn the stuff. Nobody can give you the skills if you dont put the time and effort in to figure stuff out your self.

If i where you though, id not simply make another ship mod. We already have thousands of identical mods, some are Total Conversions, Some are just ship mods. Most have nothing to do with the name they where given.

Giskard

O.k.... The e-mail didn't reach me.
Hmmm. Don't know why. Anyway, I sent v1 to you. You should have, it it reached you!!!!!
