Re: Re: Mapper Rules
Vanilla does allow ripping tilesets. It even delivers them with the client. Also the tilesets aren't encrypted when saved into the map.
If the Vanilla devs would want to not allow to steal mapres they would've coded it in a different way.
And well...a mapres can't become "commonly used" if you aren't allowed to use it. The definition of "new" in this case is highly subjective.

That's not what the rule says. Also it is weird to allow the stealing of old mapres, just because they got already stolen.jao wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2018 12:16 am They started to compare it to other stuff, not me
Also to clearify this: Commonly used non-vanilla tilesets aren't covered by the rule, it's mostly about special, new custom tilesets. And if you want to use one of those, making the effort to ask for permission should be the least you should do.

Re: Re: Mapper Rules
This rule is not referring to maps that are already on ddnet, rather to future cases.

Re: Re: Mapper Rules
But jao argues that this was an unwritten rule which already existed before.

Re: Re: Mapper Rules
I think the reason why jao came up with this rule is the story about Im 'corneum who has stolen a complete design from another map. So maybe we should have something similar to:
"Try to be creative! If you copy parts from other maps, they must have been changed significantly."
This rule says that parts can be re-used, but should be altered in a way that they are kinda new and not just simply copied. You could do something similar in terms of the design.

Use append function to rip a tileset.

Re: Re: Mapper Rules
I added a clarification to the rule:
Btw. most cool custom tilesets everyone used/uses in their maps were publicly posted by the creators anyway so in reality it doesn't affect a lot maps. (You can go through the past year or so releases and will see that most designs were made either with vanilla or common free-to-use tilesets, the few outstanding ones were by Pipou and Ravie).
It's really mostly about new special mapres that you have to ask the creators for.
You can still use tilesets that have been used on a lot DDNet maps already.Mapper Rules wrote:Commonly used and significantly changed design elements are not covered by this.
