So it there a good tutorial on how to port over? I've read the wiki (I believe), but I am not experienced enough in art to know what to do in the changes of the art part.
Do you have any advice? :P

I've been meaning to write up a tutorial on TGA files, etc, and how to do the individual layers so they work right with BF, but I've been busy. What are you trying to port to BF?
In all honesty, no it isn't.

Well, you're entitled to your opinion.
I think we can both agree that when installing add-ons, nobody generally reads the readme texts unless they are having technical difficulties.
|
Before I even open up any file in any add-on directory, I check the license and read-me files. /shrug
So, if you would demand of every single person who used a skin of yours to ask permission before uploading their ui for others to be inspired by, then may I ask, what difference does it make? Are you ever going to tell someone no? I hardly doubt it. And if that were the case, what is the difference between you telling everyone yes and them just giving you credit for the work in their upload? I really don't see your logic in this.
|
Who says there has to be logic? If it's of my creation, it's my right to do as I want with it. I upload to WoWInterface for people to download directly, not for others to redistribute it.
But I would imagine it is easily remedied by you simply stating on each download page that you would like people to send you a personal message asking if they can use each of your skins in their compilations.

We've discussed this.
And btw, I would also imagine that its generally accepted here that giving credit where credit is due suffices rather than bothering the mod author about being able to use his/her addon. Its pretty much expected that everyone is nice enough here to allow free sharing of their work so as to easily inspire others.

I'm sorry, not everyone subscribes to the whole "Copy-Left", "If it's on the Internet it's everyone's" philosophy. And there's a difference between
using it and redistributing it.
Additionally, not every compilation author credits the author of every single add-on that's included in their compilation. As far as the average user knows, the compilation author is the author of the entire package. Going back to who reads what, do you really think the users read all of the credits even if they're complete?
And then there's stats. How am I supposed to track the stats of my add-ons when some of the traffic is pulled away by those who prefer compilations?
Your welcome, sadly your attitude on the matter has discouraged me from continuing to use your skins in any of my previous or future compilations.

Well, that's too bad. I was looking forward to my first "No."
/teasing
But seriously, I'm sorry if my attitude bothers you. Perhaps in the future I'll think twice about offering my work to others to use for free.
