[POLL] Dead X-Com fan projects you regret most

[luke83]

Every time someone talks about HD sprites , we descend into a argument about copyright and the member is never heard from again.

lol
why is HD a copyright problem?
anyway, maybe a anon modder will release a HD pack

btw. is it possible to extract the sprites from tts? there is a folder with graphics_new^^

HD is a copyright problem because it is derivative works - ie, not original content, but based on other copyright material. Though to be fair, I think this is where things start to get a bit hazy with what is "original".

Yes, there's an extractor.jar application with UFO:TTS to get bitmaps of all the data

Extractor extracts graphic from original files and save them as bitmaps. As for graphics_new it contains hd, remade graphics.

HD graphics could be possible if there will be other graphics at all. But how one isometric brick wall can be not derivative of another isometric brick wall? Simple, they are all "not derivative" by default. There are little in isometric graphics that can be subject of copyright.
