The art and music donation drive!

[Femme Stab Mode >:D]

So, if you haven't figured out yet, not everyone is a good composer or is good at drawing... Don't let that stop them from making a game! I encourage you all to share midis and artwork you are no longer using. You will keep the copyright and your name will be in the credits. So...
Here are the categories for resources. you don't have to completely stick to them, but do try
1. Music and sounds - Just like Trapezoid's MIDI30 but sounds are also included. If you have lots of sounds you would like to share you can put them into a separate category
2. Backgrounds - pretty obvious. Please keep in bmp or pcx format.
3. Guis and cursors - Duh!
4. Spites and characters- please do not use the "import character" feature and just give the art.
If you want to be acnowleged, include a file stating what you want to be done about it (eg. what name is to be put in the credits) and a short description of the resource.
Thousands of thanks in advance,
Sasha.

hmmm what are you actually trying to achieve? :

I think for midi's sounds it COULD work, but definitly not for bg's and characters. Remember that everyone uses different sizes n stuff.

and something that flew into my mind...
is this a cheap way to get all the art for your game?

[Femme Stab Mode >:D]

No. the art for slime 2 is all done and that will probably be my last game. I don't intend on using anything that's donated.

  Thank you people ever so much. Someone might use these in the future. REMEMBER TO MENTION WHAT NAME YOU WANT TO BE IN THE CREDITS. You do have to be aknowleged for your hard labour.

I have a bunch of sound effects from various places which I could upload somewhere.
Edit: For now, here are some loopable, stereo OGG files I constructed for Suspico (which has a lot of rain), free for the public to use:

May I suggest that we use something like the Open Content license .  It's fairly staight forward and it protects the original artist/author's rights while allowing others to make use of them.  Here is a link to the open content website. http://www.opencontent.orgl

OpenContent License (OPL)
Version 1.0, July 14, 1998.

This document outlines the principles underlying the OpenContent (OC) movement and may be redistributed provided it remains unaltered. For legal purposes, this document is the license under which OpenContent is made available for use.

The original version of this document may be found at http://opencontent.org/opl.shtml

LICENSE

Terms and Conditions for Copying, Distributing, and Modifying

Items other than copying, distributing, and modifying the Content with which this license was distributed (such as using, etc.) are outside the scope of this license.

1. You may copy and distribute exact replicas of the OpenContent (OC) as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the OC a copy of this License along with the OC. You may at your option charge a fee for the media and/or handling involved in creating a unique copy of the OC for use offline, you may at your option offer instructional support for the OC in exchange for a fee, or you may at your option offer warranty in exchange for a fee. You may not charge a fee for the OC itself. You may not charge a fee for the sole service of providing access to and/or use of the OC via a network (e.g. the Internet), whether it be via the world wide web, FTP, or any other method.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the OpenContent or any portion of it, thus forming works based on the Content, and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

a) You must cause the modified content to carry prominent notices stating that you changed it, the exact nature and content of the changes, and the date of any change.

b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the OC or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License, unless otherwise permitted under applicable Fair Use law.

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the OC, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the OC, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Exceptions are made to this requirement to release modified works free of charge under this license only in compliance with Fair Use law where applicable.

3. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to copy, distribute or modify the OC. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by distributing or translating the OC, or by deriving works herefrom, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or translating the OC.

NO WARRANTY

4. BECAUSE THE OPENCONTENT (OC) IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE OC, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE OC "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK OF USE OF THE OC IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE OC PROVE FAULTY, INACCURATE, OR OTHERWISE UNACCEPTABLE YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

5. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MIRROR AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE OC AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE OC, EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.



What does everyone think?

[evilspacefart]

You can just give me thanks somewhere (you don't have to specify - but a thanks makes me feel special ) or use the OCL.
