<h2 id="nonfreeassets">Non-free assets</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
OpenSpades contains non-free assets that were copied from the original
|
|
Ace of Spades games. The creators of OpenSpades were unabled to contact
|
|
the authors, so these assets were never released under an open licence.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Fortunately, there is a drop-in replacement for these assets available.
|
|
All models have been recreated under a CC0 licence and the sound effects
|
|
have been replaced by mostly CC0 equivalents with a few exceptions that
|
|
are CC-BY.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h3>Installation</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Download the libre assets: <a href="https://github.com/DeathByDenim/openspades-free-pak/releases/download/latest/pak001-Free.pak">pak001-Free.pak</a></li>
|
|
<li>Find the location of pak000-Nonfree.pak for your OpenSpades installation. For example <tt>/usr/share/openspades/Resources/</tt></li>
|
|
<li>Copy the downloaded pak001-Free.pak to the same location.</li>
|
|
<li>Optionally, delete pak000-Nonfree.pak. It it no longer needed because pak001-Free.pak will overrule all of the content in pak000-Nonfree.pak.</li>

|
</ul>
