The community mod [A mod made by all][still in concept]
« on: December 02, 2012, 04:33:33 AM »

The community mod will be an open mod.
This mod will allow every single person to change it.
How it works?
by these simple steps:
- A sprite is posted , this can be any sprite as long as the orgininal author allowes posting it.
- Another person changes the sprite to his liking and posts the updated version.
- Next person can choose to use the new version, if the changes are as he likes it or he can choose to work with the old one.
- persons after that can choose any of the posted sprites as the one they adapt.
all changes big or small are allowed , if your not good at spriting that doesnt matter -> you could change the color for example.
- after a while I or someone else can take the current sprite which they like the most and code it into the game.
The ship will be added to the hegemony station.
- now any modder wo likes the ship can take it and add it to his own mod (of course while giving credit to the thread and most of all the modders wo made it)
- coders can also change the main mod (hegemony station that owns the ships) and completly change it, for example create a new faction with it or add a station/planet/asteroid belt.
maybe just change his stats to make him more balanced
- while people are coding the next sprite will be posted and worked on.
important for coders is that when they post a link with there version, they also give a summary with the changes and what version they used to start with.

Important rule! all comments must be containing a modified version of the current ship sprite or a new/modified code, all replies!

Let the modding start!

Ow and i got the idea from this thread -> http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=4902.15
Idea comes from Reshy

Perfect, but reset the colours back to the original, remove the 2 large turret points add add some small points somewhere for PD :)

*peeks in, leaves his card*

If you need a large number of sprites to tinker with in a hurry,
If you need ships out the wazoo,

medikohl that won't be neccesary.
as you can read in the first post this mod isnt about large numbers or making a mod.
this mod is about the fun of creating a mod together without anyone making the decisions.
the most important aspect of this is that we make sprites together.
