First of all hello to everybody , this is my first post here !!
I have a great annunce that (I think) could interess to the entere comunity !!!!! \\o//
The weel known MMORPG RYZOM have been released open SOURCE !!!! You can find ALL THE ASSETS for Free on their project server !!!
Here you can find the engine project itself
http://dev.ryzom.com/projects/ryzom (http://dev.ryzom.com/projects/ryzom)
And here you can find the assets repo !!
http://media.ryzom.com/ (http://media.ryzom.com/) :detective:
I think that using some common assets could speed up the job for you all!
What do you think ?
-
Nope. PlaneShift strives to offer a unique world and a unique gaming experience. Reusing assets that are also used in 10+ other games doesn't help towards that goal ;)
All art/settings-assets in PlaneShift are created for PlaneShift and licensed in such a way that they can't just be reused by other projects.
Congrats to Ryzom for going OSS though, the world needs more of such projects :)
-
:@#\ Ohhh !! Also using common assets like trees and flowers etc etc is impossible ?
-
Indeed. The Yliakum flora and fauna is very likely to be different from the Ryzom flora and fauna ;)
Uniqueness is very important to the developers.
-
This is likely to stall a bunch of independent projects as word gets out.
-
Funny that a commercial game is now more open source than planeshift is.
-
Funny that your project is no more opensource than PlaneShift is.

thats the thing about plainshift, its not funded by anyone but donators, if plainshift didnt copyright their creations, they wouldnt have anybody the could sue :)
-
That would require the donations to go into the pockets of lawyers...I'm pretty sure it goes towards the website hosting and stuff like that.

one day renting of thine lawer!!
sue this guy for me and you'll get a cut, the end

/me puts a big [Liar] sign on Xoel.
'Oh snap!' does not apply when the teller is making things up. Check facts before you believe anything Xoel says.
Planeshift parts that are OS: Engine, server, a tiny bit of art and models in the source.
Parts of Ryzom that are OS now: Engine, server, models, art, animations.
Parts of 'my' (not really mine) project that are OS: Engine, server, art, models, animations, rules, content (lore and such).
I would advise your to change your 'Oh Snap!' at Xoel to a...

Haha, funny that, last chat I had with members of your game community said the licence was rather similar to PlaneShift. Oh well, enjoy having all your stuff ripped by whatever codenoob comes along. My art certainly won't suffer the same fate.
-
For the record, I am Akkaido, I posted off the wrong account again. Just so UtM can't bitch and claim that I'm using multiple accounts to reinforce my point and such.

If you mean "not anything alike" when you say "rather similar", you are absolutely right. I can understand how you could see a proprietary (http://www.planeshift.it/license.html) art license as rather similar to an open (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/us/) one. They are practically identical. They are soooooooo alike, in fact, that I think PS should just use the second one and be done with it.
At one point some time ago, the license was this (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/), which is still not similar to the PS license. It was changed a while back because we found it too restricting. So, I don't know where you are getting your information, but it is obviously skewed to fit your PS mindset, and terribly out of date.
As for your art, I would not worry about anybody trying to take it, even if it was free. No one is interested in late 90s quality art anymore.
-
OH SNAP!
-
I wish them the best, even if I see it as a last trial for survival.
On another note we can use their art, being now open, but I've reviewed some months ago the whole repo and unfortunately the majority of the art is very low res (like textures of 256x256) and overall pretty low quality. So nothing can be really reused.

Seriously, no grudging here guys. >.>

I noticed the same thing. And even if the art was good quality, it's funny how hard things are to re-use anyway when they're not made for your project. The textures have the wrong size, they don't fit the model properly, re-using art is not a simple matter of copy-paste. The things you can really re-use well are generic grass/sky/wood textures. And if you need to re-use those, you should think again about being a designer :P
-
Last I checked Underthemoon's project also hasn't gotten past the late 90s... and I played a tech demo of yours. Seriously, that art made PlaneShift look amazing.
Let's see: Reflective water, Normal, Spec, and Displacement maps, various other shaders, a game that works and has mechanics ... yeah, we've passed the year 2000.
I really do wonder why you bother hanging around UtM, at least the other members of your team have the respect and dignity to not make themselves look like jaded prats by bitchfighting on their competition's forums. Still not over the fact you were fired? Nawwww. My heart bleeds for you, really.
-
Let's take a step back here and realise we're fighting over which game is better by comparing graphics.
Yes, graphics guys. Sheesh.

i like how the two biggest buttholes in the PS community are duking it out in this thread :lol:
-
Sarras: Excellent use of keywords to make a funny. I thoroughly enjoyed that. You have a duty to those buttholes.
