System Starspheres

[ioha]

Well, my question was a bit imprecise: i dont want to make a new sphere from the begining, i meant to choose one from the originals and just "save as" to my folder. After all i want to do to change its textures to another that could be found in the original freelancer folder.

In that case, you want to do something similar to what I've done here as well.
As you mentioned, just copy/paste the original cmp file to a folder. Open it with UTF Editor and import the textures you want in .tga format.

My question: if i do it, is it qualified as making absolutely new starsphere? Because i havent modified anything else but textures.

No, not exactly. It's just replacing the textures that were there while letting the original starsphere (consisting of a model for the textures) untouched.
You could say we're retexturing the starsphere. Still, that does count as modding I'd say, as you get a different result ingame. Gameplay-wise it doesn't change anything of course - it's just for looks and atmosphere.
