Solbu: Testing complete, revert.

I run a norwegian christian IRC channel and a norwegian GNU/Linux help channel on EFNet. I spend quite a lot of time on that. I also hangout on Freenode.
I sometimes play Minesweeper and UFO:Alien Invasion when I'm bored and don't have much to do.
When I feel up to it, I'm translating UFO:Alien Invasion into norwegian.
I also package ufoai for the Mageia distribution.

For those of you who want to know more about who I am, you could visit my [http://www.solbu.net/ homepage].

Solbu: /* Game not listed to unregistered users */ new section

==Tables==

Whoever is making the tables, it looks great. When we get them all in tables, can we remove the sections so that all the games are in one big table? It'd be pretty great to be able to sort them all by date, name or whatever. [[User:Conley|conley]] 22:10, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
:The list will eventually get unmanagable before long. The sections are there so we can eventually move them into their own page.--[[User:Kiba|Kiba]] 22:23, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
:: Eek...I'd really like to be able to see the most actively developed games though...
::: Release date doesn't really tell you how actively they are developed. What you want is release history--[[User:Kiba|Kiba]] 20:24, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
:::: By "actively" I mean "recently". I want to know what's hot.

I made a script to automatically make the tables. copy a list into a file and run this on it:
<pre>#!/usr/bin/python

from optparse import OptionParser
import re
from dateutil.parser import parse as parsedate

def qmatch(pattern, str, m):
mobj = re.search(pattern, str)
if mobj:
return mobj.group(m)
return ''

def getdate(str):
s = re.sub('<sup>.*</sup>', '', str)
if s == '':
return ''
try:
pd = parsedate(s)
return pd.date()
except:
pass
return ''

# The main method
def main():
# Set up the option parser
parser = OptionParser(usage="usage: %prog file")
(options, args) = parser.parse_args()

# Make sure we have the correct number of arguments
if len(args) != 1:
parser.error("you need a file")

print '{|class="sortable"'
print '! Name !! Homepage !! Latest Release !! Date of Latest Release'
f = open(args[0])
for line in f:
line = line.rstrip()
game = qmatch('\[\[.*\]\]', line, 0)
page = qmatch(' (\[.*\])', line, 1)
version = qmatch('[Vv]ersion ([^ ]*)', line, 1)
date = getdate(qmatch(' on (.*)', line, 1))
print '|-'
print '|', game, '||', page, '||', version, '||', date
f.close()
print '|}'

# Call main
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()</pre>

It's a pain doing it for each section still though. [[User:Conley|conley]] 13:39, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

== Why remove? ==
So you remove games because they arent 100% free because it cant be modified or something? Its a noble idea i guess, but what i would like to see is just a list of free games that you can play. I dont care if i dont have the right to use what he made, i just want free games. And i doubt im the only one. Maybe you should add a section to the wiki with games that arent free to edit, but free to play. That would surely attract a lot of people. I see the other list down there but its spanish or whatever. There is a need on the internet for a wiki like that, an english version at least. If you want this site to be popular, you should add it. - Captain_Duck

==Blah==
"Latest Stable Release" before each version number looks bad, how about removing it? Or replacing with tables, for better overview?
::Go ahead. Please replace it with something else. (And sign whenever you comment too, so we know who it is)--[[User:Kiba|Kiba]] 21:47, 6 September 2007 (CEST)

Which games are mac compatible?
::::Generally free games are cross-platform meaning that they can work across various operating systems so it is pointless to mention them. Homepage table seem to be too wide because the longest word which is homepage doesn't fill the entire length.--[[User:Kiba|Kiba]] 21:07, 31 January 2008 (CET)
:::::While many open source games will compile cross platform (although some won't and many won't without significant tweaking) I was aiming more for the 'binaries available' angle on the platform thing. The homepage column has been shrunk a bit. We could take the extraneous text out completely and just leave a link I suppose. --[[User:Paulshannon|Paulshannon]] 02:07, 1 February 2008 (CET)
::::::Some links are too long..and others are just too ugly to look at. I prefer to keep the homepage. Also, it is probably a good idea to sort them with sections so people can edit part of the table instead of the whole page.--[[User:Kiba|Kiba]] 20:54, 1 February 2008 (CET)

== Is 0 A.D. freeware or OSS? ==

The homepage says freeware. Also, it hasn't even been released so maybe we shouldn't include it. --Andrewmin

Hmm, I got the impression that it would be open source upon completion, but maybe not, though they are making great leaps to keep it free --RB0

::::I think that was just Andrewmin replying to himself ;) Hmm, I cant seem to find the link for the article policy, but I think what your saying is correct, I just forgot it...

UFO:AI is now 100% Free Software, check http://ufoai.org/wiki/News/2012#We_did_it.21 and http://ufoai.org/licenses/. I have re-added it in the list.

== Maybe add Pink Pony ==

The source is GPLv3 but I'm not sure about the art. http://code.google.com/p/pink-pony/ [[User:CyaNox|CyaNox]] 15:55, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

== botZilla ==

The downloadable archive contains apparently non-free music and some non-free bots. I think the game is still worth mentioning somewhere though. --[[User:AVRS|AVRS]] 19:48, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
:If it is not free, then it should be removed from the free game list.--[[User:Kiba|Kiba]] 22:05, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

== Maybe add RedEclipse ==

I think the game is released under Free software compatible licenses for both code and assets. http://www.redeclipse.net/ /Cire [[Special:Contributions/217.209.86.254|217.209.86.254]] 13:02, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

I have added Red Eclipse, i talked with some FSF member and they cosider Red Eclipse 100% Free Software, you can check this at http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Red_Eclipse

== This list vs. suggested games list ==

How exactly does this list differ from the [[Libregamewiki:suggested games]] list? I'm unsure where a game that is certainly libre should be placed. Perhaps this list was originally intended to list (free) games on lgw and the other (potentially free) games not on lgw. The intro sections of the articles could be improved to convey the purpose better. [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 12:11, 9 October 2012 (CEST)

== Verify games pages and list of games ==

Please verify that all the games that have a page on Libregamewiki are available on the List of games (for example i have found Liberal Crime Squad page and this game wasn't on this list).
If you create a new page take a look also at List of games and add the new game.

== License Column? ==

It would be nice to see an at-a-glace indication of exactly which free license these game use.

== May I add Zauberer? ==

I'm leading/maintaining a free game called Zauberer licensed under the Modified BSD license. It's still in early development and I wonder if anyone have anything against me adding it to LGW?
:Hello! If also the [[Free media license|media is free]], then please do add it! [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 10:11, 4 June 2013 (CEST)

== QuakeWorld: ezQuake/nQuake (+ mvdsv + ktx + qtv + qwproxy) ==

Small discussion here:
https://libregamewiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:62.33.111.103

== Game not listed to unregistered users ==

For some reason [[UFO:Alien Invasion]] is not listed in the List of Games untill one log in to the wiki, then it shows up.
Can someone figure out why, and fix it? [[User:Solbu|Solbu]] ([[User talk:Solbu|talk]]) 17:53, 2 February 2015 (CET)

Libregamewiki talk:Rejected games list

2015-01-19T00:42:15Z

Solbu: /* Un-reject UFO:AI */

Regarding El ocaso de Sara:
It seems the reason this game was rejected because of it using the Newton physics engine. I read that Newton has been released under a free license now, so maybe this game doesn't have to be rejected anymore? /Cire
: Moved to [[Libregamewiki:Suggested games]]. --[[User:AVRS|AVRS]] 18:46, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

== Rechecking Stunt Rally ==

I suggest to check the status of Stunt Rally again. It may be now the case that this game can be removed from this list.

Stunt Rally was rejected because some of its media were non-free.
Stunt Rally had now an update which replaced a lot of media files. The motivation of this was to have better quality and to get rid of copyrighted content in the process. I do not know if now all the content is under a free license now. --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 19:52, 2 September 2014 (CEST)

== Poor usage of the term “freeware” ==
I suggest to remove usage of the term “freeware”, because there is no really broad accepted meaning. Some may mean by “freeware” only “software that costs nothing” and don’t imply any legal or other restrictions. Some others also imply restrictions by using the term. This page is even worse, it applies the term “freeware” to data as well. So I suggest to avoid the term “freeware” altogether.

Therefore, “freeware” should not be a reason to reject a game.
Justify it with “proprietary software” or “copyright restrictions” (if this is actually the case), which is clearer than just “freeware”.

List of games which are definitately proprietary, I will rewrite the entries to replace the term “freeware” soon:
* Angband
* C-Dogs SDL
* Knytt
* Knytt Stories
* Nelly's Rooftop Garden
* Planet M.U.L.E.

List of games where it is unclear if the usage of the word “freeware” may just have meant “at no cost” with no other implications:
* OpenRA
* Within a Deep Forest

It needs to be examined wheather there are actually legal restrictions in place or not. --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 20:42, 2 September 2014 (CEST)

== Un-reject UFO:AI ==

The UFO:AI folks have made a serious effort to get rid of all non-free or unclear media. With the release of 2.5, this goal has been achieved. UFO:AI should be removed from this list.
