Hi, can I have some house tiles from Dustball demo in my new game? I really like them.

Just go into C:/Dustball/Game/Dustball/Tiles and take them (i think I gave you the right path) Of course, if you are asking her for permission, then I can understand why you're asking Sophia.

I will probably give away the tiles that were used in the demo once the full game is out... but that's probably not going to be anytime soon.  Sad

sorry!

Will the final game have it's own Battle System and Music, or are you going to use the default stuff that was in the demo?

Man, I hope. The default BS sucks, and the music isn't too bad, but I don't like it.

I'm saying that you can't take them until the "full version" of DustBall is out.

Once the full version of DustBall is out (which I don't know when), you are free to use the tiles in the demo.

Well I'm going to try and code one myself... I'm not a fan of the default battle system either. I think I'll stick to something simple in design though, so don't expect a fancy one. (Unless I fail, and MrG has to come to my rescue : p)

As for music... well Craig Reeves has written three pieces of music just for DustBall, and I intend to use them. I will mostly likely also use a few songs from the music pack as well.

At least you ain't stuck with the default music *CRIES*

Right.
I'm no good at coding BS, so my games may take a while for that....

It should take a while. And BS coding isn't as god-damn difficult as you think it is! Hell, even I could make a pretty damn good BS in a few months if I really tried. Hell, I made one that could run basic battles (no magic/items) flawlessly in a week.

if I take screen shots from your house in Dustball demo and open them in tst tool ( a program) and putt them in a tile, can I use them then?

Look, she doesn't want anyone using her tiles until the final game is done.

Agrees with MotD. At any rate, why don't you just make something, that follows a rough guideline? I mean, I don't mean any disrespect to Sophia or anything, they aren't all that spiffy. They are actually looking pretty genericly based, so it wouldn't be that hard to mess around with a lot of the defaults, and make some new ones.

Why don't you just download a game from that illegal game site thing Burrow85 was raving about how stupid or whatever it was and take a scrrenshot, take the tiles, and delete the game before anyone knows you had it?

JK, I wouldn't risk it. Just a stupid suggestion. But if you want....

heh, like everyone already said... It's not that I'm lazy and don't want to give you my tst, it's just that I want to keep these tiles DustBall only for now until the new version comes out with new tiles.

And like Burrow85 said, they are really simple tiles, and you can most likely make your own. And if you don't want to make any tiles, there are other sites that offer tilesets for you to use.

You're referring to taking edgeemu.com, aren't you?

Listen, all of you, emulation is not illegal, and ROMS of unused classic games are not illegal.

We don't pay any attention to disclaimers. You either have permission or you don't. Also, there IS NO 24 HOUR RULE! That's a myth, and holds no water. Again, you have proper authorization or you don't. All of the copyright agencies have noted that there is no such thing as a 24 hour rule, so it's just as illegal to download/post it for 5 minutes as it is to download/post it for 30 years.

Is distributing ROM images legal?

No, not clearly. Individuals and Companies have a right to back up their software. This does not give them the right to distribute that copy to others, even provided they also own a legal copy of the software. So, in short, it is perfectly legal for you to copy a software package you own, but not for you to give that copy away.


** Quote from some ROM Rental Place, Console something or other (or something like that)


Even still, I'm not going to get into this, not here.. we don't need to spam up another forum ^_^

Everyone's got their own opinion.... it'll be up to the courts to decide on who's right and who's wrong Razz

It's illegal to pirate new, currently selling technology (N64, GBA, and PS1/2 games)

Not the unused classics. Let me quote Edge Emulation:

Quote
Isn't emulation illegal?
No; pirating currently selling high-tech un-obsolete video game systems and games is illegal. Sharing the wealth of unused classics is hardly illegal. The IDSA has contacted us before, and we are prepared to take as many steps as necessary to deal and comply with their requests.

Alrighty, you can believe what you want to, I'll believe what I want to.

We can settle at that, at least I hope.

Don't worry about it tosoto. It's the ppl who provide the illegal roms that would get busted.

Stick em up!
You're under arrest cause we said so!

Dumb fat cop arresting someone for illegal ROMS. Then he falls asleep. What would you do?
