<div dir="ltr">Hi Nicu I go yumwload this game and to test. I am interested for creation of art for open games.

Hans de Goede, from the Games SIG[2], contacted me and asked for help: while the music and sounds can be replaced with free equivalents from other games, there is a need for new graphics. [2] <a href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Games" target="_blank">https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Games</a> I persuaded Hans to file a request in the DesignService queue[3] and to make the data available in an usable format[4] (it uses to be in a .pak file which needed special tools to open). [3] <a href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/DesignService#Graphics_for_the_game_starfighter" target="_blank">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/DesignService#Graphics_for_the_game_starfighter</a> [4] <a href="http://people.atrpms.net/%7Ehdegoede/starfighter-data.tar.gz" target="_blank">http://people.atrpms.net/~hdegoede/starfighter-data.tar.gz</a> Now what's needed from us: the tarball contains a "gfx" directory, with a number of PNG images. Among those are some which need to be replaced: character portraits and starfighter (and other spacecraft) images. I have to witness that this is not my favorite game genre (I can't play 5 minutes before getting bored) and also I don't have experience in that particular drawing style (pixel level tweaking in a raster editor), so probably I won't do much for it (maybe I'll try some portraits). So if anyone like this game and/or that style of graphics, this may be a fun project and a noble goal (freeing a game). -- nicu :: <a href="http://nicubunu.ro" target="_blank">http://nicubunu.ro</a> :: <a href="http://nicubunu.blogspot.com" target="_blank">http://nicubunu.blogspot.com</a> Cool Fedora wallpapers: <a href="http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/wallpapers/" target="_blank">http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/wallpapers/</a> Open Clip Art Library: <a href="http://www.openclipart.org" target="_blank">http://www.openclipart.org</a> my Fedora stuff: <a href="http://fedora.nicubunu.ro" target="_blank">http://fedora.nicubunu.ro</a> _______________________________________________ Fedora-art-list mailing list <a href="mailto:Fedora-art-list@redhat.com" target="_blank">Fedora-art-list@redhat.com</a> <a href="http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list" target="_blank">http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list</a> </blockquote></div> -- <a href="http://www.projetofedora.org">http://www.projetofedora.org</a> <a href="http://www.mytoons.com/br4in">http://www.mytoons.com/br4in</a> *********************************************** DESIGN LIVRE *********************************************** <<Imaginando Desenhando Animando>> </div>
