Minimum content

yAMATO · 17th Oct 2003, 07:55 AM

To distribute non-commercial project, can we distribute the runtime in the project package (exec, dll ...) or must we give an url to download the runtime ?

If it's possible, what is the minimum content to distribute, i think example-map, texture etc are not necessary ... what about UnrealED.exe and .u if we don't use them... ?

And about the exe can we rename it, change ico and splashscreen? ~~

You will be able to redistribute the runtime bundled with your content. You will be free to change the splash screen, although modifying the binary files, including changing the .exe filename, will not be allowed. We will be providing documentation on how to this safely, very soon.

Will we be allowed to supply shortcuts to the exe with the changed icon and name?

If by that you mean, can your Start/Programs/Your_Runtime_Application menu shortcuts have whatever text and icons you want? Yes. I don't see much point in including a batch file or Shortcut in the System directory, when the runtime executable only runs your content anyway.

Oh, no real point in terms of functionality...but it will make things perdy :-P
