The goal is to have all data licensed as: CC0, CC BY or CC BY-SA.
I moved development now to stuntrally3 and tracks3 repos.
Original post below:
So, this is now a to do. And also apologies for my attitude back in 2015.
It's been years, and things have changed. Now it looks like there are few websites with quality CC0 textures even for skies.
I just read this post with list, and quickly looked at skies from here and here.
I think they are comparable or even better than our current.
Here is a list of (probably all) that will:
Be removed:
- - [Done] 5 VDrift cars (3S, 360, CT, M3, TC6) - like said before, won't be missed. There are few new vehicles in SR 2.7.
- [Done] 4 VDrift tracks and support for them
- [Done] SuperRacing cars (S1,N1) and many wheels, IDK which license, so probably best to remove
- - [Done] Editor car start mesh. Bottom side texture?
- [Started] Car engine sounds (basically just 2), except electric (UV, BV). Other VDrift sounds?
We need really good replacements and more sounds too. I had enough of that old engine sound anyway.
- [Started] All skies.
They're awesome, but have a clause to not be sold and so not a real CC license.
Links above have good natural skies. Need to compose some for dawn, sunsets.
And make new for outer space, probably enough to use (cubemaps) this generator, maybe also this.
- [Started] Ogre trees have clause to be used only with Ogre in _DragonSnail.txt.
So from trees-old/ replace: tree.07.mesh, tree.09.mesh [Done:] plant.02.mesh, rock.05.mesh, rock.07.mesh
- PagedGeom stuff has "Do what you want" license in _3D_Diggers.txt, so I think it's okay.
These models are old and have small textures. We could replace. Found some shrooms on blendswap, need to adapt.
BTW also found a new great tree generator.
I will be doing this on main branches of stuntrally repos (I hope there is no issue, that git history will have older files?),
so that we still could have a release (like 2.7),
without waiting for Ogre 2.3 support for which I want separate repos: stuntrally2, tracks2 or so.
