Ok, lets say for example i downloaded some scenery objects from SimV for EZ-scenery and wanted to use them in a scenery i was going to distribute. Do i have to include the model of the object(s) as well as the texture in my scenery for the objects to correctly display?

If so, how do i do this without the objects showing up as a copy in others EZ-scenery menu? (if they have EZ-scenery of course )

thanx in advance!!

For the user to see the library objects you only have to include the library .bgl and .bmp files. These should be packaged in their own folder(s), not mixed in with your 'project' files. This allows the users to place the files within their 'object libraries'  as they see fit.

The .txt files (that accompany the .bgl files) are only needed by those using the EZ-Scenery program, but may be included with no harm done.

Be sure to read the authors EULA or other re-distribution policy for each of the libraries you are drawing from. Also be sure to give credits.

If you look at sceneries created with EZ-Scenery you'll see that many  authors include a list, with links, of required libraries, rather than including the library files.

In my mind this is a better practice as it; 1-Reduces the size of your scenery package. 2-Puts the responsibility for proper library installation on the user, following the library authors directions. 3-Eliminates your concern over 'duplicate' files. 4-Over time, builds the users 'object library'. 5-Eliminates conflicts with any EULA restrictions...and the list could go on.
