Well, I forgot about the legal stuff: The images were made by me, so the copyright is mine: Copyright (c) 2004 by Erno Szabados . They are licensed under the Creative Commons (Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0) license You can read it here: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/ e.g. in a nutshell you are free to use it for your project and make modifications for them as long as you keep them free. I prefer this to GPL as it is more suitable for images and alike. I would like to upload (or checkin to CVS) them (and any other icon I will made) to someplace you specify. I will post a copy of the license together with the images. I hope these are suitable conditions for you. If you need the raw files (InkScape svg and Gimp xcf) (for the forthcoming generations ;) ), a module should be made in the CVS and these could be kept away from the freebooters module. > > > and I'll make some more if/when I have the time. > > A "Freebooters" logo would be nice, so that I could be used for > the website, the manual and as a desktop icon. > Okay, I'll see what can I do > Cheers, > Moritz >Yeah, and a water tileable texture should be fantastic :D I took note of your request but I do not promise to provide it anytime soon, because I have no idea how should I do it with Inkscape + Gimp (my favourite tools).

Re: [Freebooters-devel] icons for review
Here are a few icons for your game. Tell me if you like them Nice ones yep and I'll make some more if/when I have the time. A "Freebooters" logo would be nice, so that I could be used for the website, the manual and as a desktop icon. Yeah, and a water tileable texture should be fantastic :D

And smaller ports. :) Yes, the size of the ports should become smaller, however the decorations like palms should probably stay big, otherwise it becomes to tiny. We could also use smaller heightmaps per tile, I guess even 129x129 provides more than enough detail for the terrain. > >Other stuff that I want to work on: > >- Integrate the Seapassage class into the real Freebooters (almost done, > >but I ran into a little problem, see the "Help" forum for details) > > > I see that.. is a shame Cegui is not in ogre yet, because we can add all > the menus in freebooters inside the Ogre3D, so you donr really need SDL > (only for music maybe) and place some animation or 3D view in the > background inestead of the fixed sepia images.. Look what I see in Ogre > forums: Yes, I've been thinking about the same, even SDL_Mixer won't be needed any more, as I'm planning to integrate OpenAL, which allows us to make use of spatial sound effects.

I'm subscribed to the ogre-cvs-changes and there hasn't been a commit of cegui yet, only the removal of the old GUI system. > I think Im going to try to update Azatoth at the moment, we can consider > that as minimal req for next version.. Only thing we need is a Sample > for the new Cegui system..and Christmas is All Around here ;-) Let's stay with 0.15.1 for now, current CVS has a rewritten resource management, which will definitely unveil other unwanted side effects.

[Freebooters-devel] icons for review
Greetings, Here are a few icons for your game. Tell me if you like them and I'll make some more if/when I have the time. Good Luck! Erno Szabados Ps. Sorry for posting them here, but I did not know an easy way to share them right now. barrels.png Description: PNG image coins.png Description: PNG image wines.png Description: PNG image pirates.png Description: PNG image
[Freebooters-devel] Proposal for the creation of the map tiles
Ahoy, for Freebooters 0.3 we'll need a complete navigatable map of the Caribbean Sea. I'd like to propose a scale of 14 maps on the X axis and 10 maps on the Y axis, so this would amount to 140 tiles to fill. Some of these are done very fast (e.g. several tiles only fill the Atlantic ocean and some are entirely based on terrain). Tile creation is easiest with geomorph [1], I'd suggest that we work the tiles in blocks of 4x4 tiles (so this would be 1024x1024 pixels in geomorph) and split them afterwards. This makes the tile clippings a lot easier (the sides of the tiles have to fit each other). After the tiles have been split they have to be scaled from 256x256 to 257x257, as Ogre needs (x^2)+1 height maps. So, we'll need: - A large map as the basis, so that we can define the tile regions and form the terrain - A list in CVS, so that a set of tiles can be allocated for one person, so that no efforts are duplicated. - A complete list of all harbours (I'll do that). Then we should agree on a scale for the sprites, e.g. the harbours. And we'll need some fixed set of graphical sprites, e.g. some larger groups of palms and maybe we can find some other nice decorative models in the Free Game Repository. We should agree on a set here, that can then be placed in the tile definitions. And we need an adressing scheme for each tile. And we should write a tutorial, that describes how to build a tile. Hmmh, did I miss something? Cheers, Moritz Footnotes: [1] http://geomorph.sf.net
