Ethical question

Dutchguy made the original preset. I played and came up with the other tunnel3. I'd like to distribute it, but Dutchguy never gave me the go ahead when I asked and he seems to have disappeared. If I do distrubute he'd get credit for the background because I didn't make it at all, but the movement that IMHO makes the preset is all mine. Could I sneak it in as a remix of a never released original?

Remixes of never released originals are fine in my mind.

Also I'd say that if you made the movement (ie the preset) then you should release it as your own. Maybe thats just me and my 'code is everything' attitude... i dunno.

Hm... guess I haven't been much help here.

If you credit really shit simple code like d=d+sin(d); then I will personally travel to wherever the hell you live and kick you in the nuts.

Give credit for:

code:


q=(q+1)%4;

z1=-2*i;

x1=-off-3+(2+z1)*if(below(q%4,2),0.1,-0.1)+0.1*z1*sin(3.1*z1+1.2*wf);

y1=(2+z1)*if(below((q+1)%4,2),0.1,-0.1)+0.1*z1*cos(3.3*z1+2+wf)-t;

z1=z1+2;



x2=x1*crz-y1*srz;

y2=x1*srz+y1*crz;



x1=x2*cry+z1*sry;

z2=-x2*sry+z1*cry;



y1=y2*crx-z2*srx;

z1=y2*srx+z2*crx;



alpha=-0.1*z1+0.5;



z1=1/(2+z1*0.5);



x=x1*z1;

y=y1*z1;



x=x*asp;



red=alpha*abs(v);

green=alpha*abs(v);

blue=alpha;

Not for:

code:


r=20*i*3.14159265358979; 

d=sin(m*r)+v*0.5;

x=cos(t+r)*d*0.6; y=-sin(t+r)*d*0.6

Please. It does my head in when someone says something crap like: 'Thanks go out to r4nd0m_n00b for his excelent movement code', then the movement turns out to be x=0.

It's all premade stuff exept for one sign change in a superscope.

I'm not sure I want to include it now thought. The twistest mix of bizarre space twisting is sooo much better.

Of course dumb, small things like that should not be credited, I was referring more to code such as in the example you gave. To rephrase what I said eariler, give credit to original code that is not commonplace, such as the DMs el-vis used.
