Teeworlds Forum → Maps → Using Teeworlds tilesets for other games
Hey guys,
(I'm not sure if this forum is the right to post my problem.)
I'm developing an own jump'n run game (has nothing to do with Teeworlds) with Game Maker. And I thought to use the tiles from teeworlds for my levels. They woould really fit to my game.
But my question is now: "Am I allowed to use them for my game?".
If I'm allowed to do this, I would list the Teeworlds tilesets in the credits.
Please answer as fast as you can.

I guess so since it's open source
Thanks for the fast reply.
@alias: Are you sure?
Can someone else support that answer?

The fact it is open source doesn't mean he can use it in his own project.
But i'm not sure as well.
As long as u dont claim it to be your own work there shouldnt be any problem with using the tilesets. In case of modifying it, you should ask again, im not sure in this point.
join #teeworlds-dev at quakenet and ask matricks
i think he asks for the tilesets to use and not the code of the game.
You should ask the artists who made the tiles.
Cuz the tiles are not matricks work

First of all it does not matter if he asks for graphics or code, there is just one license. Besides, matricks knows all the legal stuff concerning teeworlds. In addition, all graphic artists who commited their work published their graphics under the current teeworlds license. The easiest way to find out if the planned usage is covered by the teeworlds license is to ask matricks 
as I do not even know which license we are using.
why not just reading the license.txt? xD

Thanks for the reply.
Ok, as far as I understood you, I can use the tilesets for my game if I dont say that I made them.
So, if I use them, I will list this game in the credits.

Also you must not forget to include the license.txt (the license part) with the tiles & hint to what it applies to (add your own notes) I guess. If you alter the tiles in any way (converting to another file format and/or resolution might or might not already count), you also must make it clear that you did. When in doubt, do as the others already told you and ask the devs, just to be on the safe side.
