You can start the page yourself or I can help with that. I think it is OK if you want to go with a completely different graphic style, the downside would be that the graphics have to be consistent, so you would have to remake all the images. However, I am not sure how to put the graphics back in the .pak file for testing, so I add Hans on CC, maybe he can give some insight. Note for Hans: [nicu@hell]$ file starfighter.pak starfighter.pak: Quake I or II world or extension </blockquote><div> Hi Hans Then, we need to redesign all the graphs of the game and will use in a version 100% free under GPL, including the sounds and music. Correct? I go to unpack the archive starfighter.pak and to study a form of I redesign everything in a new style. You could create wiki for me, please, Nicu. Who more goes helping in them in this mission? =) For example, joining the archives of sound and musics that will substitute the originals of the Starfighter project. I will make the drawings.

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).

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). </div></blockquote><div><div></div><div> -- 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> </div></div></blockquote></div> -- <a href="http://www.projetofedora.org" target="_blank">http://www.projetofedora.org</a> <a href="http://www.mytoons.com/br4in" target="_blank">http://www.mytoons.com/br4in</a> *********************************************** DESIGN LIVRE *********************************************** <<Imaginando Desenhando Animando>> </div>
