    • Exporting sprites and sounds?

      One thing that would be a great deal of help to me would be the ability to make changes to the graphics and sounds that come with Coldstone. Since so many people will be relying on the graphics and sounds that come with coldstone, I'd like to be able to make a few changes — add a few things, put a different face on some guy, add a harp solo into the my favorite background music, etc.

      Plus hue changing 😄

      So, will we be able to export and alter the grapics and sound? (like in EV edit)

      Well, as far as I know from what I remember reading here, the graphics libraries will be present as organised collections of images, and so you could import them into you Graphics program of choice with little difficulty. I don't know about the export function a lá EV-Edit, but if you can edit the image externally then it is quite irrelevant, IMHO.

      As for the music, I would assume that the same principle will apply. 🙂

      All the aspects of your game are stored in folders (maps, events, locations, graphics, sounds etc etc). All you need to do is find it in the finder and you can do what you like to it.

      Actually, that's something to consider -- I'm not sure what kind of copyright issues would be involved with modifying Beenox's graphics....

      I don't believe so, after all, we are buying the graphics (bundled with CS). But you would probably want to change the graphics enough so that no one recognizes them as CS graphics. Anyway I believe that this would be legal. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

      What you can do with the graphics is probably spelled out in the EULA, and depends on the intent and end result of your modifications.

      I would guess modifying the graphics for your own Coldstone game would be well within the bounds of the license.

      I would also guess that duplicating the files, running an unsharp mask on them, and reselling them as "Joe Shmoe's Supah Sharp Game Graphics" would be an illegal use of these assets (font foundries have to contend with this problem all the time).

      Using the Coldstone Graphics in a non-Coldstone game? Good question.
