This means that no content derived from non-free works such as commercial games may be submitted. + +When contributing or updating assets, open a PR and complete the checklist of terms or call out any exceptions. + +## Selection of assets + +Existing assets created by and for the Civ3 modding community are generally preferred, if there is something of sufficient quality and relevance. Lacking that, original or open-source compatible works are welcomed, with temporary placeholders as a last resort. + +If opting to create original assets, creators should coordinate with the development team before doing significant work to agree on general characteristics, formats, etc. There is no need for original assets to conform to Civ3 formats and standards; for example 32-bit PNG is preferred for images. It is also strongly recommended that creators provide raw working files used to create the assets, to allow for easier customization. + +New assets should not be submitted well in advance of when they are usable by the game, nor in speculation of alternative uses. We will integrate assets as the game is able to use them. If you have a proposal for a not yet available feature that would use new assets, coordinate with the development team first. + +A list of specific placeholder assets that should be prioritized for replacement is maintained in [placeholders.md](placeholders.md) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index de607e1..ed1d10e 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -2,4 +2,7 @@ Media files used in-game # License -This repository is NOT licensed.
