SE4 CD discussion

Not the mods.

The ship sets that use images from known sources like Lucas Arts, Lucas Films, Paramount, Universal, etc.

Those ones would more than likely draw lawyers.

However, if shrapnel clearly states that all images are the works of their respective authors, and claim no profit from them, then perhaps they might be able to include them, but I doubt it.

Richard: When do we have to have all this ready?

Puke · #3 October 2nd, 2001, 03:14 AM

the pcmod and bundled scenarios will not be done for at least two months. i would request that people provide their scenarios for the CD, the P&N scenarios, and the voyager scenario if possible.

if the add on pack is given away as a free download and is fan art, there should not be any copyright issues

The sooner the better, but the new burn will not be (this specific burn) until November.

However don't wait

.

And yes we will include info from the modders as far as links, in fact I will be getting with each author about some other stuff as well.

Good. That gives me time to finish this backlog of schoolwork, and clean up some of my stuff.
I also hope to put out a humans-only P&N for PBW, with a lot of stuff that AIs just can't handle.

I will push to get the vikings ready for inclusion. I'll aim for the end of October.
If we had an idea of which mods were going to be included, race creators could make sure that they had AI files and images to ensure compatibility with all of them.

I'm assuming that things like the mod launcher and race viewer will be included.

How about the latest Version the SE4 code? Matryx even wrote a code generator for it, although it might want updating.

Again I have posted a thread to just post your final Version to. If you update them before we burn the CD's just post edit your post on the thread. Also include contact info so I can contact you.

Finally I need you to do me a favor and go out into the community and find the guys who have older useful stuff and have them come back in and post it. I remember some actual programs that allowed you to modify mods in a GUI and a Mod Manager and those I would especially like to add.

I am really trying to rally the community to get some really nice stuff added to this CD so I would appreciate any help I can get.

And again if you want your SE fan site highlited drop me a line and we can add you to the banner exchange program.

Thanks!
