SE 5 Editor

[Devnullicus]

I do already - that's not what I'm talking about. I can certainly load one of the game's images into the main page of the editor (pictures/UI/Dlg_Credits.bmp looks marvelous, in fact!) I don't WANT to do that, however.

Using the component images, etc in order to mod them is one thing. Using the game's artwork to make my program look nicer is another. It's a subtle difference, but one that I'd like to pay attention to.

That said, if no one feels like making some artwork, I can live with that. The main page will just be ... blank.

Well if it picks an image from random from the SEV directory of whoevers computer its on, I'm not sure how that can be considered copywrite infringment.

Why would they want to sue you over using images from a game you are explicitly making an editor for? I don't understand the concern.

[Shadowstar]

I don't think he's talking about copyrights. He'd just like to have some original artwork for his program. It's more of a aesthetic preference than anything, as I understand.

Maybe I could whip something up. Let me know and I'll see what I can do if I can find some time this weekend.

That would be great, actually. I've used an SE5 image and put some strategically placed text boxes over it in places to get the effect I want for now, but I'd still rather use some original artwork there.

Though, I must say that I am somewhat pleased with the current image. *shrug*

[Shadowstar]

Where should I send the new image?

[Suicide Junkie]

You could always upload it here...

Ok, but it's a bitmap, since the original image he's using is a bitmap and I designed my image so that he could just swap the files and it would fit perfectly. I even put the Space Empires 5 logo on it so that it would line up with his text-boxes. I can provide a version without the logo if needed.
