Ryonancing Saga Creators' Guide - Rules

Modification Rules for Ryonancing Saga

Preface

Basically, Ryonancing Saga is kind of a community project where people are allowed to add and submit new content or even modify existing content. While there may be individuals that are very strict about their own contributions, by and large, this system is based on mutual respect and good intentions. For more information in Japanese, you may wish to visit their Wiki as well.

Unfortunately, on the internet, and especially within the English language community, respect is very often neglected and rights and feelings of authors and artists are often violated. In this climate, even people without evil intention may end up breaking the rules of respect, simply because they don't know about them.

Therefore, the basic rules for working with Ryonancing Saga have been put together into the following text. Note that these are the general rules only, and authors of additional content may impose different rules. Thus, please make sure you read the readme file of contributions and maybe even contact the author directly if you wish to modify existing data.

The Rules

1. Posting

a) Please do not post in the main Japanese thread anywhere.
The main thread respects calm, conflictless, Japanese atmosphere.

b) If you have questions, use this thread at Eka's Portal and some people who understand Japanese or some Japanese people who understand English will answer.

2. Uploading and downloading files

a) The upload page we are using, created by "Mr. 48" in the thread , has two limitations.
The uploader can hold only Max 250MB in total and the download bandwidth per month may be limited.
Please do not use the uploader with many people.

b) It is suggested somebody in Eka's site download new files from the Mr.48's site and upload somewhere else in zip archive, and let everyone download it.

In addition, there is an alternative upload page available at drop io. While things in early development should be shared here at Eka's Portal, it is suggested that items that may be useful for the Japanese community as well should be shared at that alternative uploader.

3. Copyright problem

a) In Ryonasaga, the basic rule of copyright is:

"Altering or using characters, movements, games or any other products produced in this thread for Ryonasaga related games, any new games and games already existing ARE ALLOWED"


But some files are not allowed to be altered or used in other games, so please check the readme.txt attached to each files and see what are being prohibited to do.

b) Other creators may want to alter your products. To avoid copyright problems emerging, please make files with the same rule of copyright with us. (namely, "Altering or using products for other games is allowed. Write prohibited matters in the readme.txt")

c) To be polite and make creators happy, please post a message on ""(http://yy48.60.kg/test/read.cgi/ryonasaga/1194565554/) before altering or using products of Ryonasaga. A lot of creators are happy to know other people want to use their characters or movements, but some creators feel bad if their products are altered or used in other games without any notice.
