CSUAC available for CC3

Shessar

I thought I would let everyone know that Cecil is back and says that the CSUAC should be returning in a month or two. I'm not sure if he'll use the same host, so I'll post the link when it is active again.

I noticed the GMApprentice disappeared a while ago.
I backed it up months before and I can provide you with a link to the CSUAC files I saved:
BL_Fills1_CC3.zip
BL1_CC3_Creatures.zip
BL2_CC3_Equipments.zip
BL3_CC3_Vehicles.zip
BL4_CC3_Animals.zip
BL4_CC3_Humanoids.zip
BL5_CC3_Vegetation_Pt1.zip
BL5_CC3_Vegetation_Pt2.zip
BL6_CC3_furnitures.zip
BL8_CC3_Structures_Pt2.zip
BL8_CC3_Structures_Pt2.zip

I'm not sure to get the whole archives. Just tell me...

I'm happy to know the site will come back soon, either!

Regards,

Paul

This is excellent news, Shessar! Thank you for keeping us up-to-date.

That is indeed good news!

I thought there was a permission problem with posting links? If that's been solved, I'd love to know where the CSUAC files are -- My own archive of them went bad.

The issue is that the license prevents redistributing, so no-one that downloaded them can redistribute them. However, Cecil is the creator of CSUAC (not the individual art, only the compilation) and the one that imposed the license. So until he makes his site available again, there won't be anywhere to legally acquire them.
However, since Cecil is now returning, you will be able to get them once he sets up the site again.

I should have quoted: I was replying to Anoril/Paul's offer to post a link to his archive.

Ah, I see. Yes, in that case, there is a problem. Due to the license Cecil released those under, I cannot permit anyone else to post these here.

Anoril

Ok, I take it into account... I was not aware of what implied exactly the licence... No problem, either, I did not linked anything (^_^) — ouf!

Regards!

Looks like the CUSAC files are back on line. Check heruca's comments at the bottom of:

Seems to be only the Dundjinni format files though. While certainly usable in CC3, you do miss a lot compared to the CC3 version, such as properly organized symbol catalogs and images in 4 resolutions (for improved speed in CC3)

I noticed after downloading them. I have a bit of free time on my hands so I might follow Gerri's tutorial.

Bidmaron

Where is Gerri's tutorial?

VassiV

From the ProFantasy page goto "Community->User Tutorials"

Bidmaron

Thanks, should have figured as much.

So now that GM's apprentice is gone where can you get CSUAC? I used to have it on my old hard drive before it crashed.

That is the Million Dollar Question.

Monsen

You can't, unfortunately. The license it was released under forbids redistribution, so with the original source gone, there is no way.

Mateus090985

The files are still gone? =(

Monsen

Unfortunately yes.

You can get the dundjinni version of the symbols here. These are the same images, but they don't come with CC3 symbol catalogs or the multiple resolutions CC3 uses.

Work is being done to try to get them back, but since this is a rights/licencing issue, it isn't simply an issue of putting the files online.

Simon Rogers

Any reason why Dundjinni and FM8 versions are available but CC3 ones aren't?

JoeyD473

Its a conspiracy against CC3 I tell you, a conspiracy. Ok I will now go back to my little corner and shut up now

I was thinking exactly this... It does not seen to made much sense.

Monsen

Posted By: Simon RogersAny reason why Dundjinni and FM8 versions are available but CC3 ones aren't?

This is because the sites distributing these versions have been able to get permission from the license holder of CSUAC to redistribute the files. Unfortunately, the original license agreement from the CSUAC explicitly stated no redistribution, so it isn't simply a matter of putting the files online even if people have them.

As I said earlier, work is being done to try to get permission to do this. Hopefully we can get a resolution for this issue, so that the files can be brought online again.

Any news on this as that would be really cool? I have all this awesome stuff for DJ and would love to use it easily in CC3.

Monsen

Unfortunately, no news as of yet.

Merlin

I found a copy of CSUAC_CC3-Files on one of my DVDs.
But I am not sure if I am allowed to make it available.

Ralf

No, the license agreement forbids sharing the files without the author's approval. And since we're unable to get in contact with the author that's the problem - we do have these files here too.

Dogtag

Okay, here's a potentially-stupid question. Does anyone know, if someone currently has the symbols are they still permitted to use them?

Vintyri

Posted By: DogtagOkay, here's a potentially-stupid question. Does anyone know, if someone currently has the symbols are they still permitted to use them?

Yes, I know. The CSUAC was issued with a EULA. If you comply with the EULA, you may use the symbols.
