Discussion about http://opengameart.org/content/abuse-art, in particular about the relevant fileformat(s). I'll update this post as I figure out more information. Sorry if it's painful to read, but the forums strips indentation - code tags, anyone?

Most Abuse content is in .spe files, a little endian format that contains image data, palettes, levels and more.

I wanted to post some of my scrips could the admin make a scrip section?

In IRC, El Barto mentioned the possibility of a Bounty Board here at OGA.  I think it's a great idea, and I'd like to get the ideas rolling around in people's heads as to what features the Bounty Board might have if it were implemented.  I'll start it off:

- Allow multiple people to vote for, and submit bids for, the same topic.  For instance, someone posts a bounty for "a 3D dragon model with wings" and offers up $5 for it.  3 other people think it's a good idea and would also like a dragon model, so they join in and chip in a few dollars to the bounty, putting it up to $15.

While browsing the web and stumbeling uppon yet another website with CC music i thought it might be a good idea to collect all those links to free media websites in some thread. So I'll just go on and paste all the nice websites i know of and hope others will do likewise. Maybe the realy good ones can be added to the links section.

[update] As pointed out on irc, there is already such a collection that can be found there http://freegamedev.net/wiki/Free_3D_and_2D_art_and_audio_resources [/update]

I've run across some free sound effects scattered across the web during my audio searches, but I've always hesitated to utilize them in the creation of my own sound effects. My question is: can free sound effects be legally combined with other sounds to create new sound effects? If so, does that in any way depend on the license under which the free sounds are distributed under?

We have already come a long way, including creating a test server, with a character able to walk around a map, as a proof-of-concept. What we are most in need of now is pixel artists to create still tiles and animated sprites. Concept artists are also welcome to design the look of the world.

Hello everyone,

recently a few people from the Blender community have set up a website where coders and artists can exchange their services. Artists can request Blender features and in return, provide art assets for the coder's project. So far it's in its early days but I see there are already some not too complicated feature requests available (i.e. a proper triangle counter). Seeing the open source world has quite a few programmers but usually lacking skilled artists, this could be a great way to balance the situation :)

I'm looking to commission some character art designs intended to serve as a basis for 3D character modelling. I suppose this will mean front and profile views of the characters in "T-pose", plus some additional face drawings for emotions (i.e. a "model sheet").

I expect to pay some kind of advance on this, and then offer the artist some percentage of revenue through "Creator Endorsed" sales of the end product (which will be an animated video series released By-SA on the internet).  My biggest question is how much of an advance should I expect to offer for this kind of commission?

I found some sounds on Wikimedia Commons, which appear to be relevant for games!

I mentioned it on IRC already, but perhaps there are readers who don't chat here :)

Blendswap has a poll on what to implement next (right side bar) and licensing should be voted in my humble opinion, because only then it will be clear if the art on this site can be used and for what.
