errr who are you asking permission and what for exactly?

the devs and who ever can grant it

"Who ever can grant it" is whoever made the textures. Did you make them yourself?
- If yes, then you don't need permission.
- If no, who did make them?

i made the textures but i changed the fleetops.SPR file to resize the torpedo sprites

sorry i should have been more clear on what i had done

But aren't you kinda releasing those for fleetops?
Isn't that like tryptic using existing fops files for his mod? (Kinda)

I can't see how any harm would be done.

If all the work is yours, but you are just editing FO sprite files then I believe you are ok to release in your mod. From the modding guidelines in the guide here:

Yep, you are completely free to mod Fleet Operations and release your work, as long as a few points are taken into account:

-- You leave proper credits along with a link to the Fleet Operations website in your readme.

-- You are not redistributing Fleet Operations' material. Please understand that Fleet Operations includes some exclusive material, like textures and models, from 3rd party authors. If you want to modify Fleet Operations' material for your mod, please leave a message in the Modding Forum first to get permission from a Fleet Operations Development Team member. This also includes the executable. Your mod has to require an installed Fleet Operations first, please do not redistribute the executables. If you have any questions, ask or send the files to Optec. Redistribution includes posting download links to a modded Fleet Ops in a forum.

-- Simple text files like ODFs, sprite files, techtrees and similar content do not require permission to be edited, of course, but please don't remove copyright information if present.

-- The work you want to release is yours or you have permission by the author to do so.

Hope that helps

Hey Defiant... I think that I could use your help if you by chance can do good shielding textures.

Sure what sort of shield look do you want ?

posted on March 30th, 2014, 12:40 am

I would like a shield that would fit the most common sizes.

Fighter (Ships that are the size of the venture)
Small (Ships that are up to the size of the Intrepid)
Medium (Ships that are up to the size of the Nebula)
Large (Ships up to the size of a Phalanx)
Large Wide (Length of Sovy but almost circular)
Extra Large (Size of Dominion Dreadnought)

Station small (Spherical with the size of a Turret)
Station Medium (Spherical the size of the Dominion Advanced Yard)
Station Large (Spherical that would fit DS9 Properly scaled according to the size of the Galaxy)
Station Large B (1.2 times wider than regular large but half height)


For the shield texture, I want it to look almost fluid like but it would be a fiery orange.

most shields scale to the unit they are on unless you mean the texture size itself, making the texture itself wont be much of a problem.

Oh... I thought they had seperate spheres because of the different ship sizes.

no its just a sod that can be used on all ships makes it a lot easier .

is this anything like what your looking for ?
