Need Relief Tiles
-
@Schulz do we know the usage rights on those two images?
-
No idea, I guess there shouldn't be issue since AA50 uses exactly this portraits. Even Germany lifted the ban on swastika on WWII games.
-
@Schulz we should make sure that of that I think we can reverse image search them in google then check usage rights or find new ones doesn't matter.
-
Then better to not use them instead of taking this kind of risks I guess.
-
@Schulz ok ill look around for few and get back to you.
-
@Schulz hey what are the factions for this map? seems like maybe I should find leaders for all of them.
-
Hitler, Mussolini, Tojo vs Roosevelt, Churchill, Stalin, Chiang Kai Shek

@Schulz said in Need Relief Tiles:
Even Germany lifted the ban on swastika on WWII games.
Totally new to me. Please share the source of your knowledge.

-
@Schulz Interesting, thank you. From German sources I read that games still need to be approved on a per-game basis, though, as showing those symbols is still forbidden, generally.
-
@Schulz don't forget to mention i will not see your replies unless you do so. what's this about putting swastikas on the map now?

I don't have context, but FWIW swastikas are a hard no.
-
@ubernaut I though swastikas are no longer forbidden in TripleA after Germany's lift also TWW has swastika too. The map is actually downloadable but not possible to play it via repository due to wrong file structure.
If it is still forbidden then I would want someone turn it into circle version.
-
@Schulz wether they are forbidden by triplea or Germany or not I would not be interested in having them on my machine or working on them so yeah…

To be clear about Nazi symbols in Germany:
As far as I understand it the usage of course is still forbidden. There is no general "lift of the ban".
However there are certain exceptions when their use is allowed, for example for purposes of culture, education, science.In case of computer games an authority called "USK" decides on a per-game basis whether the usage of those symbols might be allowed or not.
-
@ubernaut I can remove the swastika in an update.
-
@Schulz having some difficulty finding color images that are creative commons how do you feel about black and white for the faces?
-
@ubernaut Really can't say anything without knowing how would they appear on the map.
@MirkoBruner has created the the relief tiles for ground which inside on the zip, feel free to improve somethings if necessary or adding portraits hence we can see how would they appear considering new slighly lighter Russian and Italian colours.
-
@Schulz i think if he did the relief tiles already he would need to add the images since you need the intact version of the map in order to do that.

@ubernaut Do you know how to create transparent ipc and territory name v3/v4/v5/v6 style? Were they all obtained from a website?
