sub mod policy for SS 6.3?

[midnite]

Is there a policy for making sub mods for version 6.3? Do we need to ask for permission and who do we ask? I would like to change some shields in particular the norman shields and some of the huscarl and merc shields and post them here.


I am also thinking of changing some of the vanilla muslim faction units with some of the ones from BC

As far as I know, nope! Although it is recommend you learn how to use the built in sub mod manager so you don't destroy everyones game with a simple mistake (like me )

Although if you are using something made from the mod and editing or releasing a new version of it, it could never hurt to ask Gracul

You are free to make whatever sub-mods of SS6.3 you like for your own use.
No restrictions.

If you intend releasing any sub-mods publicly then one should check with everyone whose code you use before using it - unless it is code (and that includes graphics, music etc) that has been released into the public domain.
Even then it doesn't hurt to politely request confirmation you can use it.

You will get jumped on if you release a sub-mod which you claim is your work when it contains chunks of other people's work, that is neither acknowledged or permitted.

What I would be changing is actually the vanilla shields. That would be CA's work. So I guess there would be no problem.

Well it depends. If your putting something CA created into the game, then its no problem. If your putting in something you created, again, no problem. Just don't put a shield Roz made in without asking him (Not that I remember him making any shields but you get the idea)

for what it's worth if there's any changes I've made you're welcome to use them - I haven't done anything as clever as actually produce anything new, just changed a few numbers and words.
