Hi Chris,
Thanks for the offer! ATM the trouble some games from Parallel Realities use
modtracker format music. The blobwars maintainer is currently looking into
replacing it with similar sounding modules from
modarchive.org, which
carries modules which match Fedora demands with regards to Free-ness for
music, but is not truely Free music (no modification permitted).
It would be nice to have really free music for blobwars (and others, but
lets start with blobwars) esp so that it can be used by distributions with
stricter licensing demands for music like Debian.
If you download the blobwars sources from their website you will find a
music directory there with various music files. We are basicly looking for
music with the same feel. Also I don't know if you can do this, but it would
be great if you could create modtracker music for blobwars again, as that
has a certain feel (a certain cheesiness) and is very small.
If you cannot do modtracker music we need to think thisn over a bit, as
currently blobwars is only 8 MB, adding .ogg (mp3 level compression) music
files to that is a huge size increase.
Hi Hans and Chris,
The Debian Games Team is following your steps in this, and fully
supports your efforts. If you need or want any help from us at any
point, just ask. We'd be very glad to do as much as we can.
Greetings,
Miry
