On the contrary, you would infringe the rules if you took FXU, changed a few features of it, and released it as whole new mod of your own. :yep:

Yep, maybe I'll release a mod in a few days, and just make sure that people know half of it is TDW's work! Hm, I think it would also need the unchecked ship-weapons file. :hmmm:

Here is another picture of the no-lag starshells in action, you can see that it lights the ocean level, but not the ships:

Imo your patch has little to do with FXU, as it "only" fixes a stock bug which, incidentally, is still present in the mod by TDW. On the other hand, making the patch compatible with FXU is an instrinsecal way to give TDW credit for his great work :up:
