Distant Worlds Spaceship Mods Website

I have read the FAQ's on the websites which states the pictures may be used for non-comercial purposes as long as the proper people/websites are credited which I have done.
However, I think you all have valid points and I think I'll rename the website and remove the word "MODS". It is not my intention to mislead.
I hope this clarifies things. Obviously, if I have any problems I will address them.

I can't find any credits to the original authors of the 3D models here.

No offense meant, just pointing out.

Also, it still says "mod" in a few places.
Also, no offense meant, just bringing to attention.

[drillerman]

Well, I have "modified" the pictures in the sense that they can now be used directly with DW without any other "modifications" to the picture. But to be honest I was only doing this for a bit of fun and to save time for anyone else going through the process of "modifying" the pictures.

Hey Dillerman - I keep getting routed to a page selling web templates when I use the URL you've provided.

[Wade1000]

Yeah. I tried it too again. It's going to a web templates selling site.
It was linking to the mod site the other day.

You should take a look at Blender (www.blender.org if I remember right). Its all around free, but painfully confusing I've heard

He wants to send you private message and ask for someplace where he can download those ships

Are you joking? You wont get any copyright aggro what so ever. There are hundreds of games out there with star wars, star trek, this & that mods.
Never any issue, because why would there be? Just a single sentence "Ship art from Star Trek" is all thats needed.
Also, you can call them mods even if you only changed some picture formats or resized them to fit the game, its still a mod since it modifies the game.

Seems most people on these forums are fairly new to games in general ^_^
This is old established stuff, everyone knows

[Gargantou]

I'm not new to games at all, having been gaming since the early 90s, besides, all I said is that it's always important to make it clear who owns the source-material you use for your mods.[:'(]

It also depends greatly on which company is the owner, for example FOX do huge mod crackdowns on anything related to their IPs, such as Aliens for example.

If I buy DW I can guarantee I'll be modding it, or using mod(s) created by someone else.
I think that as long as you give credit where source material is from and you are not expecting
to make a profit with your MOD ....you have nothing to fear. [8D]
