    There are reasons on the forums. :)

    The reasons aren't publicly visible as far as I know though but in @ffffffff's case, I really can't understand why he needs to be reminded of why calling people certain words really isn't talking about them in a nice way.

     

    Having a reason displayed for people, as well as clearly stating where they should go to explain the situation would probably help make people accept and learn from their mistakes. Especially since that way they won't have to feel as if creating a new account is the only way to discuss what has happened.

    And we both actually had no idea it was not legal, i mean i suspected it but i never saw a warining or anything. maybe you should consider implementing a warning (or even making regisrty a bit harder?)

    When you register for the lobby you have to agree to the terms and conditions, which clearly states this, so it should not be a surprise. Especially since ours are short enough to read without giving up =)

    You will not be able to play Unreal Gold on Windows 10 as there is no backward support for DX9 had that issue with UT2K4 will not even get to the splash screen possible to use OpenGL but you need to edit the config files yourself.

    Enjoy the Choice :) 

    Not sure if the GoG version of Unreal Gold is different, but it seems to work fine without any edits :)

    I need to get my hands on that game but 40€ is too much for me for a game I will barely play.

    36€ until the 29th, but yeah, one needs to consider what one is willing to spend. I'm "having" to force myself not to buy many new games since I haven't played a lot of the ones I have bought already. The trouble with all the deals all the time =) "I better take advantage of this, I know I want to play it eventually, and it is a good deal"... :P =)

    @feneur we can split this to our own topic, this less generic and more complex discuss. and a trend discuss.

    If you give me a list of exactly what posts would go in there I guess I could, but maybe just start a new topic with any conclusions after the discussion is gotten to a point where you have a conclusion. This topic is messy as is, so it can just as well be used for the discussion =)

  15. 0AD assets in unity

    in Help & Feedback

    Posted

    It should probably be checked whether there are any restrictions placed on assets used in the Unity engine, and whether or not any such restrictions are compatible with the 0 A.D. license. And of course what your goals are. If you're just creating a project for yourself/a school project or similar there shouldn't be much to worry about, if something that is to be released for free probably not very much either. However, if it is going to be sold/combined with other assets some more caution is needed. Actually especially in the latter, as the CC-BY-SA license requires that the same license that is on the 0 A.D. assets applies to assets made with them, which might not work if you e.g. combine a 0 A.D. unit with a helmet found under another license. Exactly where to draw the line is a bit difficult though, so to make it easier for you it's best to either just use content that has a CC-BY-SA license (possibly combined with content you create yourself) or to only use content with other licenses.

  20. 2941 AD (A LotR mod at ModBD)

    It depends what they include and what they do with it. Not everything is copyrightable. Nor is it always clear what can be licensed and what isn't covered.

    Be careful with your spelling! Let's quote the philologist J. R. R. Tolkien himself:

    In English the only correct correct plural of dwarf is dwarfs, and the adjective is dwarfish. In this story dwarves and dwarvish are used, but only when speaking of the ancient people to whom Thorin Oakenshield and his companions belonged.

    It is indeed an area with a lot of uncertainty, but that's really more of a reason to err on the side of cautiousness ;)

    In the dictionary I have on my shelf they are certainly both included, so any distinction he used is more of a curiosity I'd say =)

    Dwarves are generic enough, but when it comes to the look it depends on how unique they are, and that would most likely be too complicated to just say "this is legal" or "this dwarf is too similar to the LotR dwarves", so it would have to be decided in a court. Or settled before that if you don't have the money to pay lawyers :P So yeah if one wants to be certain to avoid trouble one should make sure that what one is creating is not close to what is already existing.

    I think that most IP holders have changed their ways about dealing that kind of stuff. Nowadays you find a lot of people doing mods, and lately I didn't see any major company suing nobody. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    I guess it mostly comes down to whether or not they deem it worthwhile. With trademarks, I believe it's a bit more strict because (if I recall correctly) there is some rule stating that if you don't make enough effort defending your trademark you might lose it, so companies are going to be harder against that. Also, I believe companies are less likely to interfere if all the content is newly created (though if it's using their characters, stories, etc, it's still illegal), rather than just, for example, copying/modifying game assets from one game to work in another.

  23. Video Editing Application

    Please show some examples of your editing, if you don't have any source material that you are able to show maybe you can do something with the footage from existing 0 A.D. videos?

    Just a side note, is this forum made with squarespace? It looks nearly identical to the linustechtips forum... put .com on the end of that and have a look if you doubt me.

    No. Though they do (apparently, I just checked) use Invision Power Board for their forums, which is the same software we use :)

  24. Group shortcut doesn't work on mac

    yes ! I have create this file (local.cfg),

    when I run 0 ADs, there is an error list displayed

    but, I wonder if the numbers on the left wouldn't make the code work.!?

    my file.png

    You don't need to include everything in the local.cfg file, only what you want to change. In this case the shortcut keys for groups. Not sure how the numbers ended up actually being part of the text, they should just be displayed in your text editor to show the number of a certain line :unsure: They should not be included in the local.cfg file in either case.
