Adding things to "About"

[Andrewinator]

Does the team frown upon things like adding your name to the "about" section?

I would, of course, give you all the credit you have now, but I'd just add myself in for the models I made, the alterations I applied and the new factions I created, as well as 2D skin work.

I would also be legal, do everything the licence says to do, keep the URL and credit etc..

And one more thing: Would it be alright with you guys if I change the opening title? (Or at least somhow automatically register an 'esc' as the game begins?) It's an embarrasment having the title "Glest v.7.2" for a game called "Deidras Cathel."

So, if you don't like people giving themselves credit in your game, tell me, but if you don't mind people betting rewarded for their work, please tell me how!

You can change the title in the main menu through a TGA file. You need either Photoshop or some program that can open TGA files. The file you are looking for is called Logo.tga it is under Glest>Data>Core>Menu>Logo.tga Also, when you make your logo, you have to flip it so it is upside-down because the game flips it over automatically (It may just be my game but I suggest flipping it). Oh, and keep an eye on the size of the original logo, the sizes have to be exact.
One more thing, Glest automatically puts the version number beneath the logo.

We will have to think on something to enable people to credit themselves...

Thanks StrikerShot, but that wasn't what I was asking about. I have already changed logo.tga with photoshop. I was asking how to alter the two messages that appear (fade in/fade out) at the very beginning of the game, unless you press 'Esc'. They are "Gelst v.0.7.8" and then "http://www.glest.org."

Oh, that's what you meant. To tell you the truth, I don't mind that flashy thing at the beginning. Have you ever played a game made with the Genisis 3D language? That has a little logo at the beginning too. To me it's more like "Associated with Glest" Just like many official games are partnered with other companies. So, Martino, could you put "Associated with Glest" at the beginning? instead of just Glest?
