' Wrote:Sorry if it came off that way, it was not my intention.
I merely posted here so everyone who downloaded the Shattered Worlds mod was aware that by extracting textures from the cmps and/or copying our cmps into other mod directorys (even on the client side) is a violation of the EULA, and I'm quite sure the admin and the devs of the Discovery Mod do not condone it either. As per proper protocol, I've already notified the Discovery Admin of this thread, so they can censor it accordingly. I am quite sure they will feel the same way as I feel. Having others using your work in a way you did not intend is something they've had to deal with before.
No. We understand. Each mod has a lot of work and effort behind it, and to take an effect without asking is stealing all that work and effort.
If we want to have better graphics on disco, we will make them by ourselves (If we have the time too >.>). I am pretty sure Igiss will never ever encourages folks to do what is described in the first posts of this tread.
However, I must say that I have been astonished by the splendor of the graphics in your mod. I did a hell of a jaw-drop. Sadly, I lack time to check it more... Maybe once I'm done with the modding here.

Do you really want to develop the wheel new?
There are modders, which have already done this, so why not asking them for help. They can give hints, tips and tricks. Of course, the dry editing work will be up to us. Simply stealing the effects is wrong.
1. It violates rights.
2. It is a disrespect to developers, which have put a huge amount of time and sweat into.
3. It prevents from learning and understanding the way how to do.
However, the weight on 4.85 is the introduction of the gallic house, to improve the look of former empty systems, the replacement of imported Star Wars, HW models and so on. Also the whole rebalancing of ships and classes and the overwork of traderoutes plus some minor stuff.
At last i can say, there will be new effects and graphical improvements. Maybe the weight of 4.86 can be layed upon graphics to get the amazing look, shown in other mods, if Igiss will like to have them.
We hope no one here condones any ripping off of files from other mods, and I hope no one is doing it either ...
None of the developers are using anything not exclusively from our team, so you the rest of you won't please.

My comment was meant as NOTHING more than a technical observation.
I installed the SW starspheres/effects as a modding experiment and in order to see them.
(I can not install the mod, I have tried dual mods before... and it didnt agree with my system)
I most certainly do not condone plagiarism or stealing others work.
Though I would reccomend that whoever is working/does work on graphical improvements for Discovery should look at the Shattered Worlds material for no other reason than to hold themselves to the same difficult if rewarding standards.
In the interests of a peaceful end to this, after this post I will not involve myself in this or any other development oriented thread unless it is to report a bug.
Apology accepted Gemini. There is no hard feelings or ill will on my part. Thank you for being a gentleman about it.
I REALLY didnt not want to post, but felt compelled because of the EULA agreement. And just wanted to clarify it for people who didn't understand the intent stated in it.
Hats off to the excellent Discovery Admin team and players for their understanding in this matter.
