Rob Janes Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 If you are going to want it integrated into your source, you will need to hardcore the text into the client. As the entire UI is a rendered interface in DirectX, you will want to add a rendertext function during the drawgui sub.

erkro1 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 @aiden500:> OK thanks rob =DWriting a copyright somewhere doesn't mean you have copyrighted your stuff, copyrighting costs alot money so you can't do anything if they steal it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yxxe Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 @Erwin:> Writing a copyright somewhere doesn't mean you have copyrighted your stuff, copyrighting costs alot money so you can't do anything if they steal it.In UK law (not sure about other places), any ideas you write down are automatically copyrighted. ;] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yxxe Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 @Robin:> Don't confuse intellectual property and copyright laws.As far as I am aware UK Copyright Law protects recorded ideas. Unless the two are fairly ambiguous to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 aiden500 is British? That's what I get for assuming stupid people are American.Copyright laws differ drastically from country to country. Trying to protect your copyright internationally is plain stupid, especially over the internet.Stop caring so much about who's stealing your work and spend your time actually working on it.

shadowwulf Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 how does that saying go? Imitation is the highest form of flattery…?If you become any sort of success and people have been stealing your work, all it is going to do is get you more attention. People in their small circles will be like "where did you get these!?" and their little ringleaders will be all "This guy that made [insert title here] created them and I liked them too!" or "I created them but this other guy stole them and made a better game than I did!"… whatever right?

Robin Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Yeah, no. People using your work as an inspiration is flattery. People stealing your work, re-releasing it under their own name, starting a crusade to turn your own community against you and all the time make more money than you ever did because they're selling something you released for free…Whoever thinks that is flattery obviously hasn't been in that situation.

RyokuHasu Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 @Erwin:> Writing a copyright somewhere doesn't mean you have copyrighted your stuff, copyrighting costs alot money so you can't do anything if they steal it.That's only if you file it with the US library of congress (or other similar establishment) and want it 100% provable.Legally it's copyrighted if you just put your name (it can even be a penn name), the year, and the symbol on it, but only as long as you can PROVE that you have it first.Basically if you have those 3 things and you can prove its yours its a legit copyright.But the proving it's yours and you made it first is the trickiest part sometimes. And that's why you pay to have someone do that for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowwulf Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Here, the easiest way to self copy-write anything…Print it out(in this case all the source code with some screen shots).Package it up nicely.Send it to yourself certified mail.It will be sealed by the post office and unless it's been opened in anyway, you can use it as proof.That is unless someone managed to do it before you...So don't be throwing your code around all whimsically like Robin!(jk) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Janes Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 While this has gone slightly off topic, back to the game- added a complete guild system and rendered UI. Guilds can have up to 30 members, their own guild chat, bank and I'm working on a guild leveling system at the moment.- pvp point system. A pvp kill gives 2 pvp points which can be traded for gear or hairstyles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
