This topic is for creators to announce if their creations are open source or whatpart's of it (sprites, codes, etc) can be freely used be other users and/or creators.for example :by Mr. X (url *):xxxx (only sprites)by Mr. Yyyyy (only coding)* : where to get the character or who you should ask to have it if the char is unavailableCreators can add themselves to this list by replying to this thread stating what they want to be open source of their creations. YOU CAN ONLY USE THIS OPEN SOURCE STUFF IF YOU CREDIT THE ORIGINAL CREATORS. You are encouraged to try and contact creators anyway, as many would surely like to know what is being made in part thanks to some of their work.You are also encouraged to allow others to use at least a part of what you've created thanks to the things you use from this list, so others may benefit in the same way that you have.by Elecbyte (http://www.elecbyte.com)KFM, fonts, stages(everything)Source: character's readmeby Loona (http://www.geocities.com/ikariloona):"Too Deep" stage (everything)SoR2 Shiva sprite setCell alpha (everything - includes Cell Junior sprites)Susan Richards (everything)Source: Loona wrote thisby VIB (http://www.geocities.com/vibhp/):Every Mugen creation Source: his websiteby TESTP:Working linkBlue Mary (everything) Guile (everything)Shinobu (everything)Xia Hou Dun (everything)Yuri C-Type (everything)Source: UNITED release 8 documentationby Mouser (http://mouser.mgbr.net/):Keith Wayne (everything)Rasputin (everything)C.Kidd (everything)Terry Bogard (everything)Source: character readmesby Chloe:(http://cutemugen.free.fr/)Lady from laptop said:you can add to your list (don't know if it's a list or anything) all I made, sprites, characters, coding, stages whatever open source.see yahttp://irisnetwork.free.fr/3rd_sounds/ SF3:3S sounds.Source: post by her in this threadby Messatsu:SFZ Guy (only sprites)SFZ Ken (only sprites)SvC Sagat (only sprites and sounds) Source: post by him in this threadGeneral note: requires contact by PMby Useless Chicken, a.k.a.

OOhkaayy... I have some gripes about this.1. Will Noobs even bother looking here before starting their own creations?2. Will they even give us credit for the work?3. I don't think many mugen creators will use this, IMO, considering they put a lot of work into their creations and they want to be given the credit for their mugen work.BTW, KFM is already open source, since it was made by Elecbyte, and is a base for all mugen characters.
You read my mind you... "Too Deep" stage (everything), author Loona (http://www.geocities.com/ikariloona)VIB doesn't seem to be registered here, but he declares all of his work free to be used by anyone at his site, so I'll list it here to help this get started:Bola (everything), author VIB (http://www.geocities.com/vibhp/)Super Kung Fu Man (everything), author VIB (http://www.geocities.com/vibhp/)Vegetto (everything), author VIB (http://www.geocities.com/vibhp/)Aplelão (everything), author VIB (http://www.geocities.com/vibhp/)Stage1 (everything), author VIB (http://www.geocities.com/vibhp/)Hong Kong (everything), author VIB (http://www.geocities.com/vibhp/)China (everything), author VIB (http://www.geocities.com/vibhp/)England (everything), author VIB (http://www.geocities.com/vibhp/)Spain (everything), author VIB (http://www.geocities.com/vibhp/)Japan (everything), author VIB (http://www.geocities.com/vibhp/)Bison F (everything), author VIB (http://www.geocities.com/vibhp/)Join the list and help stop the paranoia! Edit: can someone confirm or deny if TESTP's old creations were allowed to be freely used? Even if they no longer have a site, somebody out there is bound to have all or some of their stuff, so it could still be requested...
mary (kof99 i think) by testp is free to use but unavailable to download.I have this mary btw.new Mouser characters are free to use as we can see in the readme : "Reproduction and alteration can be performed freely."this include Keith and Rasputin available here (http://mouser.mgbr.net/)Athena 2k2 sff (sff only) can by use with credit obviously because there is no edited sprites (http://queens.ekzay.org/cutemugen/)
Officially unofficially my sff's and snd's are "open source". The rest however, will not be. Considering I haven't physically released anything since 2 years ago, this doesn't matter at this point.SFZ Guy (only sprites) author MessatsuSFZ Ken (only sprites) author MessatsuSvC Sagat (only sprites and sounds) author Messatsu (after the Dev sanction)It is likely you would have to contact this fellow via PM.Edit: Conformed to the standard since I just read the first post.

I've also got a complete set of Cell and Cell Junior sprites from DBZ-SB2 for the SNES which I'll gladly share with anyone who wishes to use them.
Regardless of rather they say "open source" for their coding or not I think it's still a good idea to email the original creator.Personally if I was a creator offering this (I'm not btw)I'd like to know who was doing what with my work.Also some creators may wish to dl your work to see if it does in fact advance or detract from their own.I don't think people should be putting other people's names on this list without the original author knowing about it. Fare thee wellFou-Lu
Well, I might add mine as well:Mr. Karate Gb (http://ma.smeenet.org/files/karate.rar)Ryo Gb (http://ma.smeenet.org/files/ryogb.rar)Rugal Gb (http://ma.smeenet.org/files/rugalgb.rar)Andy Gb (http://ma.smeenet.org/files/AndyGb.rar)Buffed Up Karate Gb (http://ma.smeenet.org/files/HNNKarate.rar)The only thing I ask other people to mention is that the AI activation code that is used was first developed by Kamek (or at least keep the mention in the cns, as I do). Otherwise, one can take those, change the creator name in DEF file, make another readme.txt and release them as their own.Have fun.
Absolutely (well, almost) everything from me, past, present, and future, is free to use however the heck you want to. Credit is certainly appreciated, but not at all required.Exceptions:-I make no claims about having the right to allow the use of the intellectual property of the game companies I've ripped sprites, music, or designs from. But, I'm not about to disallow it either; I'll leave that up to them to decide about and enforce.-My AI activation code is largely based on various other people's code (albeit with rather heavy modification). My version of the code is free to use, but credit to those people should be given unless they've specified otherwise.-Use of Sffextract is governed by the terms and conditions as specified in the GNU General Public License, a copy of which is distributed along with Sffextract. (If I release any other software in the future, it'll be either the same, or perhaps just public domain.)As for T.E.S.T.P, this is an excerpt from the text file that came with their U.N.I.T.E.D. release 8:QuoteWanna put these charas in your game? Wanna use thesprites or sounds? Sure, go ahead! We don't reallymind if you wanna rip our characters apart andfigure out how some things are done, as long as itmeans you can use it to improve your own characters.Enjoy!-TESTPSo I guess that covers pretty much all their stuff, except possibly their Yuri. I don't think I have her, but I'd be surprised if the same policy didn't apply.

I don't think I have her, but I'd be surprised if the same policy didn't apply. Nothing is mentioned in Ryuri's documentation about this, but I think it's safe to assume that the "our characters" bit in the UNITED pack also covers her.So the characters are:Blue Mary (everything), author TESTPGuile (everything), author TESTPShinobu (everything), author TESTPXia Hou Dun (everything), author TESTPYuri C-Type/Ryuri (everything), author TESTPShould we assume the same applies to their stages?...
no, at least I don't see anything about stages here...QuoteWanna put these charas in your game? Wanna use thesprites or sounds? Sure, go ahead!

I gotta post too...All Ironm00gen 's characters - rips, codings - free useFor the sprite edits, I think it would be better to let HIM knowI post that because I know nobody will use them
Chotto-KomaruSinasta asked him for permission to use his effect sprites along with me as well. So I guess he grants everone permission to use his effect sprites (as in hit sparks and super backgrounds) as long as you give him credit as stated above by Nunor.Quote:Since the effect picture of my character is a free material, use freely.Since most is reconstruction from the existing fighting game,there is no right which takes out permission to me.Then, please do your best in character creation.http://cgi.f11.aaacafe.ne.jp/~chottoko/cgi-bin/yybbs.cgi?page=5

MaJiTa made available several sprite sheets of DBZ characters at the ZGTeam site:http://www.zgteam.com/ - look for the "Sprite Sheets" link in the manu to the left, under the "Multimedia" category - you will then find a list of characters organized by game of origin, each link corresponding to a different sprite sheet (single image with most/all sprites the character uses, so you still have to align them in the SFF).
QuoteSince the effect picture of my character is a free material, use freely.Since most is reconstruction from the existing fighting game,there is no right which takes out permission to me.That's what Chottokomaru says (on the forum in the link given by DJ-VAN), so I guess it includes everyone, not only 1 guy as BJ says.To tell the truth...

From Zwoop's Cactuar (not to be confused with the Sabotender, which is a completely different creature):QuoteYou can:-Take anything you want from my char, but if it's gonna be more than 40%ask for persmission please or don't distribute it.-Make .Act files and distribute them (...)
