Mapbase is a project which many Source modders draw from, so it has its own unique standards
|
|
for contributions which differ from other projects, but it is still an open-source repository
|
|
that is always open to contributions.
|
|
|
|
Whenever you contribute to the Mapbase repository, you must keep in mind that any contributions
|
|
made could be deployed to all mods utilizing Mapbase, which can include everything from high-profile
|
|
Steam mods to amateur HL2 maps. Many contributions can also end up being available in both SP and MP
|
|
if the contributions are not obviously exclusive to one of the two.
|
|
|
|
All contributions must follow the following rules:
|
|
|
|
* A contribution must be aligned with Mapbase's goals and priorities and should not be "subjective"
|
|
or related to a specific mod or type of mod. For example, fixing an existing issue or adding a
|
|
new tool for mappers to use is usually fine, but adding a new custom weapon with its own assets
|
|
is usually not fit for Mapbase.
|
|
|
|
* All content in a contribution must be either already legally open-source or done with the
|
|
full permission of the content's original creator(s). If licensing is involved, the contribution
|
|
must ensure Mapbase follows said licensing.
|
|
* **NOTE:** Due to concerns with mods which do not wish to be open-source, content using GPL licenses (or any
|
|
license with similar open-source requirements) are currently not allowed to be distributed with Mapbase.
|
|
Contributions which can draw from them without actually distributing the licensed content may theoretically
|
|
be excepted from this rule.
|
|
|
|
* Contributions must not break existing maps/content or interfere with them in a negative or non-objective way.
|
|
|
|
* Code contributions are not obliged to follow Mapbase's preprocessor conventions (e.g. #ifdef MAPBASE),
|
|
although following them is usually acceptable.
|
|
|
|
* If you are contributing a file you created yourself specifically for Mapbase, you are required to
|
|
use the custom "Mapbase - Source 2013" header used in other Mapbase files as of Mapbase v5.0.
|
|
You are encouraged to append an "Author(s)" part to that header in your file in order to clarify who wrote it.
|
|
|
|
* Do not modify the README to add attribution for your contribution. That is handled by Mapbase's maintainers.
|
|
|
|
Contributions which do not follow these guidelines cannot be accepted into Mapbase.
|
|
|
|
Attempting to contribute content which seriously violates the rules above can lead to being blocked from contributing,
|
|
especially if done repeatedly.
