NEW! Sauerbraten in glest!
« on: 29 September 2009, 21:00:58 »

I imported the models of Sauerbraten and made them work in Glest, I used a bunch of free models too.
The models are hight polly so don't get this mod unless you have a good graphics card.
Here is a screen shot of the mod in game, what do you think?

Is this legal, or is it not?

http://www.sauerbraten.org/README.html#license

You should ask for permission because it would not really be a redistribution of the unmodified media.

btw: wrong subforum.

I actually read up on the licensing of Sauerbraten a while back, and it basically said that while you can use the engine for anything you want (open source), you can NOT use the content.  The models, textures, etc, are made by various different contributors under different licenses.

Read here.

Quote from: Sauterbraten.org/README.html
the source code may be Open Source, but the game and the media it consist of have their individual licenses and copyrights... do realize that only the sourcecode is yours to use freely (if you abide by the ZLIB license, see below), while the media is not. You can't simply redistribute the entire package with your modified files, as the majority of game media is not yours to use freely (it is made by many authors with a variety of licences and copyright restrictions). Unless you have explicit permission from the authors, or the readme says explicitly "may be used for any purpose" or similar language, it will be illegal to include in your standalone game based on the engine (you may not assume that just because a file has no explicit license, that it is free of copyright). Therefore, if you wish to produce a standalone game, be prepared to make many of the maps, models, textures, sounds etc from scratch yourself.

In this sense Cube 2: Sauerbraten is similar to games like Quake (its code is Open Source, but its media is not), it is a game that is meant to be added to, not copied and used as a template. Sauerbraten is not meant to be a quick game creation kit, it is a game.

Are you allowed to change the content? Or base something off it?

uhmm actually I'd guess wandering knights stole that models since its been around for a very loooonnnnnggg time.
I've seen that in itouch games in rpgmakers that model is everywhere + I think its newer than sauerbraeton
