Title: Is it okay?
Post by: Red Eye Dragoon on March 13, 2006, 07:58:25 PM: OK,i have a question about RMXP RTP tilesets.

Is it okay to make a complete game out of rtp tilesets?

Post by: thatsmypie on March 13, 2006, 08:01:57 PM: Stupid question.
I dont care what anyone says there is NOTHING wrong with the RTP graphics in XP!

A game made up of nothing but RTP tilesets wouldn't exactly be crap..

Post by: Viper on March 13, 2006, 08:33:11 PM: However I do think Enterbrain! has some policy regarding public distribution of games in use of RTP graphics...not really sure. Might be copyright infringement or something.

I'll look to see if I can find it.

Post by: Viper on March 13, 2006, 08:40:27 PM: Isn't that restriction for both non and purchased licenses? I was speaking of the RTP graphics in general because it is their own work and therefore copyright. I could of sworn I saw a post about this on rmxp.net

Post by: Mental on March 13, 2006, 09:07:58 PM: I do it all the time.Just because i cant find out what to do with after you put in the tileset.Like i dont get those Number things.
So i do it all the time.Especially in XP

If your okay with maping I doubt any ones really going to care. I certainly don't care if poeple use Rtp Resouces, I may be the only one who thinks this but theres alot of RTP charsets that I think are good for npcs.

Post by: Tsunokiette on March 16, 2006, 01:04:47 AM: Not to mention when you bought a license for the program, you also bought certain rights pertaining to the rtp, meaning -

While you can't wave them around and say the rtp is your own work, Enterbrain couldn't give a rodents rear-end whether or not you sell a game using the rtp. You are allowed to, it says so.
