My modded HUD

[HermitCrap]

So recently, i am really suck up to tremulous, everything is awesome But the menu screen SUCKS!!! So i decided to download HUDS but only some of them have what i want and they always come with the in-game HUD thats by themselves or they credit themselves too much like in every menu screen (e.g HellRaider's HUD ) The CHK one is awesome but only the default one is nice D: So i decided to mod theirs to make a new one. I only credit them in the read-me.txt that will hopefully come with the download. So is it okay for me to do that? Like mod it, only credit darklegion inside the game but will credit them in the read-me without asking their permissions? If not, how about just crediting them in the about screen? Thanks in advance I will try not to sent 18 more  to go after you

It's opensource buddy, do as you please give credits either in forum post or readme its all legal.
also check out my hud might have some stuff you like in there.

[HermitCrap]

So as long as i give credit to them in the readme folder, its okay? Do i also need to like write "inspiration/idea from ____'s mod"?

Buddy tremulous is  opensource, everything is fair use you really don't have to give anyone credit it's out of courtesy. Do as you please and give credit or don't it's not a serious issue.

Wrong.

The Tremulous source code is distributed as GPL v2. GPL v2 does not require attributing the original author.

The Tremulous (1.1) game data is distrubuted as CC-by-sa-2.5, which DOES require attribution.

Third-party content (e.g. a HUD, a map, ...) can be distributed under whatever license the author
chooses. Some require attribution, others do not, and some prohibit changes and redistribution.

If you want to use someone else's work, the best way is to ask the original author.
In practice, when I use someone else's work, I always try to at least give credit
in the README (and check the original license).

I have found that most authors are more than willing to share their work if you ask them nicely.

@HermitCrap:
Your HUD is probably not a problem, Just add a README.txt file that says what stuff you used.

I did the readme thing, you can download it in the huds forum Currently i'm switching the positioning of the server browser and i thought of this. Can we form a community clan and then make our own Tremuolus on a newer engine and everyone who knows coding or digital art can contribute and then we will cast a vote which design is the best and so on If we can do that, Tremulous update will be faster since there are more people in a community then in a team

Begin immediately! Also, overuse  !

[HermitCrap]

I use a lot so... We have to like spread around to let other people know then let the tremulous team know what the community is doing and so they can get our help when they need as long as they credit us

Oh, my god, another fork revolution started by kids who don't know the first thing about coding, mapping, or leading a project.

HermitCrap:  You're beginning to sound like F1Rst.  In anycase, F1Rst has become rather good at mapping.  I'd suggest that you read up on porting and attempt your own port before asking others to help you.
