Notice: Pending mods now under review!

from GalCiv2 Forums
Mavx and myself have finally been granted library control access, so the backlog of pending mods will now be processed through as we can get to them. It seems some people have complained about not getting any notice about rejections, so just to be safe I'll try to post the mods here that get approved/rejected.

For the record, about the only things that *should* get rejected are obscene or blatant copyright/IP infringement (i.e., photgraphs of actors, soundtracks, video clips, etc.). If it is anything you created yourself or got from public domain/open source sources, it should be fine.

Also, please do not include unchanged graphics, etc, that are arleady in GC2 in your mods (such is just extra downloading for nothing, and potentially makes GC2 content available to those who have not bought the game). In most cases you can simply reference the existing files and it'll work the same.

Actually those two weren't approved as I had some concerns that they contained a lot of unchanged / little changed graphics from DA. The logo pieces in particular, since that is one of the new features of DA (and I'm not sure if the special function of those pieces would remain if it was used in DL).

Kryo,

Thanks for the response, and for the explanation! I didn't know there was a minimum change criterion for mods... can you be more specific about what you guys are looking for, so we don't waste your time? Or were you concerned about the "please do not include unchanged graphics" clause above?

I put a lot of work into these, and I'd really like to share them. Moreover, some posters on the forum boards have asked specifically for new jewels. Could I trouble you to reconsider these mods? If you have time, that is...


A few notes:

- Neither mod is meant for DL: the "minimum GalCiv2 Version" field in both mods specifies "Dark Avatar only"... I don't recall ever seeing this field displayed anywhere in the Library, so I have just added "DA ONLY" to the top of both file descriptions.

- I tried pretty hard to avoid having to excessively replicate existing graphics. A major obstacle to this was that the texture, lightmap, and bump map have to have the same core name, and none can be the same name as files used by DA, so all three had to be duplicated and renamed. In many cases, the duplicated file has already been used in another mod (e.g., the KHSM, my Light Jewels mod), so little new material would be made available to people who didn't pay.

- the deprecated jewels may be "little changed," but I included them because some of my favorite ship designs from DL look cruddy in DA because the textures and/ or models were changed (at least one model was drastically changed). Some pretty slick designs suddenly looked rather silly...

- I actually TRIED to make the changes in the logo mod subtle ("little changed"), to make difficult logos look better without making the jewel stand out, in the spirit of jpinard's High-Contrast Planet Icons mod.

- I did, however, add some new, less subtle (albeit not terribly creative) colored light variations to the logo mod this weekend while fixing the download file.

- there ARE some new jewels in there. They are are just texture modifications on standard models, so I guess they are "little changed," but I made them because I thought the point of making jewels was to add variety, even if it is only textural.


Looking forward to hearing from you...

I got a chance to look at them more closely, and luckily the logo parts don't show logos in DL. So I've approved them.

Kryo,

When you get a chance, would you please check (and hopefully approve) the updated version of my Jewels mod... I just learned how to get the GIMP to do normal maps, so I fixed a couple.

Thanks,

Jon

I've uploaded a political Party mod. It's been pending approval for nearly a month. I wanted to make sure it was noticed, so you can approve or reject it. Thanks.

Kryo,

When you next have time to deal with mod approvals, I just uploaded updates to my penalties mod and my jewels mod, as well as a new political parties mod (it's the old one, but now not using other people's material).

Thanks,

GP

Kryo,

When you get a chance, would you mind reviewing a new version of my Penalties Mod I just posted. There was a type in the .xml (caught by Mongo64)... I don't know if it affected play or not, but I fixed it anyway.

Thanks,

GP

When you get a chance, would you mind reviewing a couple items for me? I just posted a minor update to my political parties mod (typos), and a new "Bulk Freighters" mod.

Reply #122 from GalCiv2 Forums Top
Hey there, if I could get 4.0 updated again, seems it was missing a file.
Reply #123 from GalCiv2 Forums Top
for crying out loud... apparently Galciv doesnt read mod folders with .0 at the end of the name.... so I needed to change that...

Please update 3 and 4
