Title: custom skyboxes
Post by: bbk on January 07, 2015, 03:59:15 AM

While helping a friend with map creation, I discovered that I enjoy creating my own skyboxes. :D
Feel free to use these for your own map creations.

Nice, but what license are they?

They could use some packaging though.

Ah yes Suicizer, thanks.
I've corrected the packaging and added readme files.
I hope to add more soon.

Added "hell" skybox.
Also, I just want to offer to create special skyboxes for anyone who needs something specific - a special color or scheme. If interested, pm me and we can talk about it.

Very nice work :)

However, please don't write permission stuff on yourself, better use a widely acknowledge license. According to your readme you are allowing commerical use too, and everything you want is credits, so CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) may be the right license for your skyboxes. If you should deciding to use it, you can just write something like "This skybox is licensed under the terms of CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)".

Self written license alike stuff isn't acknowledged at all by all major open source organisations (like the FSF, and the Fedora and Debian project for example), so it's basically classified as non-free and prevents the usage in projects which want to be 100% open source.

Thanks Nooby. I've corrected the license information in the readme files.

Added 2 more skyboxes - night1_skybox and night_pyramids_skybox.
I also corrected the paths for all of these skyboxes so that they reside in: packages/skyboxes/bbk
