Distribution question

[severedsolo]

Just a quick one.. the rules in Addon Releases state:

"You may not decompile, modify or distribute any of the .dll files or other files KSP comes with beyond content of the GameData folder.

Does that mean I CAN distribute stuff in the GameData folder? Simply put, I want to include a new part in my contract pack, but haven't got a model or texture for it yet, so I want to ship it with a cloned version of the Clamp-O-Tron for now. The above implies this is acceptable... but I want to make sure I'm ok.

You can re-use Squad's model and textures without distributing them, just reference them in the file. That's what SXT does. Example:

MODEL
{
	model = SXT/Parts/Control/airBrake/model
	texture = mediumDishAntenna , Squad/Parts/Utility/commsAntennaDTS-M1/mediumDishAntenna
	scale = 0.2 , 0.2 , 0.2
}

Check out SXT for more examples.

Aha, that is what I am looking for, cheers!

Just to clear that up alittle your MM would be

+PART[dockingPortLateral]
{
   @name = Your Part Name here
and any changes you make 
} 

This would copy the part and added your changes.
