Tampa,

I have been looking for your email address but can't track it down. I hope you see this message, your Last post was about a week ago

I have been using your Darlok shipset and like it a lot. However, I am a fan of Dragons (hence the nick:-) and would like to have a dragon race for use in PBW games.
Unfortunately I suck at drawing or making pictures of any kind. I would like permission to re-use the Darlok shipset, and only change the Race_portrait bitmap. I'll repackage it as a Dragon shipset with a readme in which you get full credit.
Is that OK?

I just like people to see a Dragon's face when they hit F9 to start diplomatic interactions with me

If need be you can find my email through the PBW site, I'd rather not make it too easy for others by simply posting it here.

Dragonlord-

I cannot take credit for the artisitc shipset, those were done by Don Phillips a/k/a Voidhawk. If you want to use the shipset for your own personal use, go right ahead you do not need his permission. If you want to post it as a full AI - why not just post the alternative dragon images for people to use with whatever shipset they want?

Tampa, good point. All I would have to do is upload a Dragon race portrait. However, if I simply replace the Darlok portrait with my own, in /Races/Pictures , that will only work on my local PC. When you join a game on PBW, you must select a shipset. You can use custom ones but are limited to the sets they know about over at PBW, and while I can upload a shipset to them, I can't just send em a single bitmap. I won't mess with AI files.

Hmm..then again I don't really fancy manually renaming all those Darlok_... files to Dragon_... files. (are there any tools for that?)

Just use "copy darlok_*.* dragon_*.*" in a DOS prompt.

It'll do exactly what you want.
