done. don't care i used it for private use then.
I don't think the mod creators will be too happy with you. Also you really just dont take two mods and make them one.. Never ever unless you personally made both
Shame on You
I did, so what!.
what you gonna do sue me? good luck with that.
if you don't like don't download simple as that.
As the creator of Enhanced 4X I do not necessarily have a problem with the idea. However, you should have really asked me and Maelstrom permission to do this first. I would have given you permission, but in a slightly different format.
The better way to have done this is, rather than releasing a stand alone mod that has the features of Maelstrom and E4X, would be to only release the files you changed as a "compatibility patch", and then linked others to the correct downloads from the E4X and Maelstrom pages. The users could then enable all three mods in game. Because the users need to download the original mods, you cannot be accused of redistributing their work, and the mod authors get the full credit and exposure they deserve.
Obviously I cannot say what Maelstrom might think, but in general he's a pretty cool guy, and we greatly respect each other's mods. So I would definitely PM him, and I think you'll find this little project will get much more use if you do it WITH our permission.

when the project is done a "compatibility" patch is easy made. might be even a cooler idea tho.
gives more freedom on both mods.
I agree with GoaFan77 ... no problems with you using my mod, especially if it helps create more interest in Sins
While technically no one can really stop you, using other modders work without getting their ok first is usually frowned upon by any modding community.
In this instance you're lucky that both original mod authors are pretty cool guys otherwise you might have ended up in a bit of an internet battle.

Maelstrom 4X edition
------------------------
new project LOTS better. read above
Have you asked permission from the Distant Stars team to use their content and distribute it publicly?
Indeed it does seem that you have also used elements of DS. And you never gave us the credit. That, and the title screen and menu items that mark the mod as "ours" is a bit inappropriate. Modify/remove those please.
I'm assuming DSE4X is supposed to be Distant Stars + E4X, though it is indeed odd he never describes what it is.
That said, I'm afraid I must also object to this release. I apologize if I did not make myself clear last time, but I do NOT give you permission to redistribute my Enhanced 4X Mod. What I told you was okay is a "Comparability Patch", or enhancement patch if you want to add something entirely new, but the point is users must download my mod individually from a valid site I authorize (Moddb or Wincustomize). If they can gain access to E4X content without doing this, I will oppose such a mod. Even if you give me credit, taking whatever you like from my mod and releasing it with some changes in one of your "projects" is not acceptable.
Again, I do not have a problem with you making a way to play E4X and Distant Stars/Maelstrom together; in fact people regularly ask me to develop such a way of getting E4X to work with both of those mods. It is great you are willing to spend the time and effort to do that. But you must follow the terms of the modders whose work you use. If you do not, I will seek to have this thread shut down.
So, if you want to publicly release a patch to get E4X to work with other mods, that's great, but what you currently have doesn't fit my terms, so please take that download down. Once you've modified it to require the main E4X download to work (basically, take all the files you changed and put it in a separate download which users can then apply above E4X in their mod order), I will be glad to approve it it.
