<div class="IPBDescription">help me name it!</div>Hey everyone, right now I'm working on a website which is going to serve the purpose of helping modders work more productively with the Spark editor. Everyone will be able to upload their work and share it, as well as browse and download what they need. Similar to gamebanana.com, however much more organized and only for the Spark Editor and NS2.

It will have sections for maps, props, textures, ect. As well as tutorials for mapping, as well as using Google Sketchup to produce custom map models. Also, sections for modified player models and weapons for everyone to browse like the good ol' days. I'm going to focus on having a healthy amount of content by the time NS2 leaves beta. As for right now, I'd like it if people could suggest some names.

I'd like it to be NS themed. I always enjoyed visiting the ReadyRoom website if some of you older members remember. For those curious I will be using the Joomla CMS.

<b>Question for the devs:</b> Do you plan on releasing a fan site kit? I'd be interested in using some of your art assets to help theme my website, but I do not wish to infringe.

    There needs to be a way to clearly and concisely express how assets may be used or reused. But there also shouldn't be a combinatorial explosion of different licenses, expressed informally somewhere burried in a block of text; somehow whittle it down to just the most commonly desired, core ones and let the creator pick from those.

    I'm not dealing with that crap. If the content is uploaded, it is free to be used, and I will make that clear.

    The whole "You need my consent to use this texture!!!" and "Credit must be given!!!" thing is just so childish.

    I'm also going to encourage people to upload the source of their work. The objective of this site is to have an awesome community based around the Spark editor. It is important that content is free to use without any strings, and that people can get their hands on it and see how it is made. Many people have the mentality that that must fiercely protect their IP, but it really doesn't help them or anyone else for that matter.

    I'm looking for something original like ReadyRoom

    So some sort of NS jargon, or Spark editor.

    If the map is uploaded, you may decompile it and reuse it for whatever purpose?

    NS2 maps aren't compiled (though all the ###### about with the occlusion-system, I wouldn't be surprised they'll soon be anyway). At most they are obfuscated by way of welding, or so I'm told by a common acquaintance who could not be here today.

    Which is exactly why you need a clear and concise licensing policy of some kind. It doesn't have to be more complicated than choosing a license most people can live with and applying it uniformly to all files that are uploaded.

    Tie it to the engine

    Sparkadelic
    Sparkhouse
    SparkOfLife
    SparkPlug


    That way it could host or point to all things spark

    Yes. We put started putting together something a while back, but its kind of outdated now. Thanks for the reminder, though, I should start getting together a press kit/fansite kit soon.
