# How to contribute media

If you want to contribute content to Inexor, make sure to follow these rules:

# Licenses (important)

• Check our list of accepted licenses.
• Inexor is an 100% open source project! This includes the source code but also the media assets.
• You must submit your content under an open source license which is accepted by us.
• You must assign a license to your work. "Do whatever you want with it" is not a license.
• If you can't decide which license to use, choose CC0 BY 4.0.
• If you disagree with open source licenses, you cannot contribute to Inexor.
• If no license is provided, your content will be deleted.
• In case you uploaded the work of someone else but it does not have an open source license, the content will be deleted.

# Git for version control

• Inexor uses Git version control system.
• If you are new to Git, try Github Desktop. It's easy to use.

# Security

• For media assets like models, textures or sounds, signing commits is not required.
• If you want to contribute code, the commits must be signed for cryptographic security.

# File names

• All file names should be lower case (numbers and underscores allowed).

# Models

• Contribute models to Inexor's model repository.
• Use glTF2 file format.
• Don't use obj, md3/md5 or iqm. Inexor does not support this!

# Textures

• Use jpg or png as file format.
• Textures must have a resolution of base 2, at least 512x512px, highly preferable is 1024x1024.
• Please notice that popular texture websites forbit to use their textures in open source projects.

# Sound/Music

• Use flac for recoding audio, but prefer ogg vorbis for inclusion ingame later.
• No lyrics in background music.
• Keep source files, like .flac, .blend, .xcf and so on. If you, we or anybody else want one day to edit our content these files are essential.
