Found: royalty free textures that we can use

[Bikerdude]

Evening

 

I've just signed up to a website (1 month@ $9, 30/60, Hi/Med, images per day) that has a lot of high qaulity textures. If anyone want a specific texture let me know.

 

http://texturelib.com/

 

 

The website's terms of use -

All images are taken by my own cameras and edited by me. They are free for commercial and non-commercial use

with the only limitation: you are not allowed to sell or distribute original or slightly modified images alone or in packs.

You can only distribute them asan integral part of your product. Credit texturelib.com if it is possible.

You can use the textures in The Dark Mod and in your map, It would be great if texturelib.com was mentioned somewhere.

Best regards

I have signed up to your website as I need some texture for a fan made map I am making. The licence we use for the mod is creative commons which I believe is compatible with your licence - http://en.wikipedia....ki/The_Dark_Mod

Kind regards

Nice textures. Thanks for the offer, Biker.

The author is a pretty legit guy - interesting

 

Loads of potential there, given some time making nice normals.

Are we okay with that license? Aren't we distributing them?

[Serpentine]

Perhaps we should just mail him and get him to give us permission to use them under a different license. Since they would need to be moved to CC-BY at least. However I think that since they would be integral to the project that would be fine by his wording (sadly, its a bit too vague to know if we can really re-license them to CC).

 

The author is in the games industry (prev. level design for Crytek, founder/lead mapping for Creoteam), so he might very well be interested in being asked.

Already emailed him, just waiting to hear back.

Hope he's keen, took a longer look during a tea break... Very tempted to open krita + ssbumpgen :/

if that rooftile is highres it might make a nice replacement to that garbage we are still working with (last i checked). It looks pretty shadowy though, which i understand is not a good thing.

 

seems like this source could certainly be a wealth of goodness in any case.

Which TDM texture are you referring to?

[ungoliant]

Unless these got fixed a while back and I just never noticed, the rooftiles_ceramic series, and shingles_blue/red have always looked really bad.

I remember the blue/red ones getting fixed I think, will have to take a look through them

[STiFU]

You are probably talking about these

 

which I had replaced by these, actually quite a while back.

 

[ungoliant]

ah, well that is a relief then. never liked those mspaint lookin things.

[STiFU]

I never understood how they got into the mod in the frist place. Maybe they were just considered a placeholder... ^^

Another rather awesome place for textures is also http://www.cgtextures.com and they offer you 15 mb for free per day
