Help seperating from overall mod

[Azrael_Itaru]

Forgive me if this is in the wrong place, I'm brand-spankin' new to the forums as well as having only played the game for a few months.

I like to play with mods, and while I like the medieval mods, I don't always want to play with them but one feature that I do love is the "Quarry" that comes with it. I know there is a quarry mod but it changes the terrain and allows for other materials. I want the stone quarry from the medieval mod because all it does is give you stone chunks -- and that's all I want, for building purposes. But I'm not sure how I can seperate just the quarry from the main mod?

Can I get any help with that?

This would presumably be a question best asked on the appropriate mod's thread, rather than here. See if the mod's author is willing to create a standalone version of the mod with just the elements you want, or is willing to add configuration options to the mod to allow you to pick and choose which elements you use, or even if he or she is just able to offer some tips to help you change things yourself.

At first, I was about to just make it for you, but after reading the thread for Medieval Times, the author don't allow to redistribute her/his works. So I'm not sure I can.

What you need to do, as a personal modification "just for yourself", is either to copy parts of the mod into a new one you'll make OR erasing all parts of the mod except what you want to keep.

Regarding code for buildings, you'll need :
- the actual building def - (\Defs\ThingDefs_Buildings\MedTimes_Buildings_Medieval.xml starting line 1488)
- the recipedef used by the billing system- (\Defs\WorkGiverDefs\MedTimes_WorkGivers.xml starting line 198 to line 266)
- the workgiver def, the bit of code that tells to the game which recipes go with which building- (\Defs\ThingDefs_Buildings\MedTimes_Buildings_Medieval.xml starting line 190)
- eventually, textures
- eventually, the def of the item produced unless vanilla items, which is the case for rock chunks

Now you have to understand you'll need to edit this code in top of that because the building requires Research Project and modded item from Medieval Times, to be built.

I'm really not sure if I can tell or do more without being against the author's will.

Hope you'll manage something out of this. But honestly if you manage to make it work, you'll be able to make it an other mod :p

You can offer all the assistance you like, as long as you don't actually make *copies*, because that's all copyright law actually applies to. Telling someone how to modify something they already have a legitimate copy of, and also modifying something you already have a legitimate copy of, is not illegal. Licenses provided by third parties to their works only apply insofar as they grant you permission to copy their works.

Now if OP follows all your instructions, and then distributes the changed thing, that's where the copyright violation happens, and that's when the license is required.

Hope this makes sense.
