Re: SE 5 Editor
Would something made from a SEV screenshot be fine? or Do you want something completely original?

Re: SE 5 Editor
Personally, I'd love to use the awesome artwork from SE V, but .. I worry about copyright issues. I've gotten permission from Aaron to use the images from the game data in the modding tool, but I don't know if I'd feel comfortable using the artwork as..well, artwork. A screenshot seems iffy in the copyright dept, too.
So, yeah, I'm thinking something based on SE V, but not from SE V, if that makes sense.

Re: SE 5 Editor
What about simply not including them?
Instead, load up the images from the pictures folder when you start.

Re: SE 5 Editor
I do already - that's not what I'm talking about. I can certainly load one of the game's images into the main page of the editor (pictures/UI/Dlg_Credits.bmp looks marvelous, in fact!) I don't WANT to do that, however.
Using the component images, etc in order to mod them is one thing. Using the game's artwork to make my program look nicer is another. It's a subtle difference, but one that I'd like to pay attention to.
That said, if no one feels like making some artwork, I can live with that. The main page will just be ... blank.  |

Re: SE 5 Editor
Well if it picks an image from random from the SEV directory of whoevers computer its on, I'm not sure how that can be considered copywrite infringment.

Re: SE 5 Editor
Why would they want to sue you over using images from a game you are explicitly making an editor for? I don't understand the concern.

Re: SE 5 Editor
I don't think he's talking about copyrights. He'd just like to have some original artwork for his program. It's more of a aesthetic preference than anything, as I understand.
Maybe I could whip something up. Let me know and I'll see what I can do if I can find some time this weekend.

Re: SE 5 Editor
That would be great, actually. I've used an SE5 image and put some strategically placed text boxes over it in places to get the effect I want for now, but I'd still rather use some original artwork there.
Though, I must say that I am somewhat pleased with the current image. *shrug*
