It states in that site the license agreement.

Here is the translation (Google Translate) of the terms of use from the original japanese author:

Based on the CC license alone you can use the script in a commercial project but just to be sure you have to contact the original author. This is the reason why I still can't decide to use XAS on my commercial project because there is no way to contact the author, no email on their japanese site.

EDIT: Fixed formatting.

Yeah, that is the case, no email and i heard he retired from the rpg maker community...
I was hoping someone knows how to contact the author or make a translation that might be more specific than the above. :/

Seems -if the terms are that fair- that he left a great legacy to inherit. Anyone think of crediting his work maybe?

It seems so. Moghunter made incredible things with it, including XAS.
From his part, Moghunter wants only to credit him (fair enough) if used,
but mostly important, neither he or anyone else could contact Xiderowng to confirm CC BY or other Licence.
Please note that i talk about the script code, not the resources used in the demos.

That is why i made this thread. I was hoping one of the following two might happen. The first is the most possible of course.


1] If someone knows Japanes, pease give us a good translation on that page (Google translate does NOT).

2] If someone knows by coincidence Xiderowng, please ask him about the topic or better yet ask him to reply to us, on his webpage, if we can use his work under CC BY 3 or other kind of licence.

That sure would deserve a sticky somewhere. I guess many of us on vaccation might share that topic one day. So it is a great initiative you got there. Hope he eyes this somewhere (maybe extend to ASK.com or Bing?).

One time only bump, just and i lose every hope i will get a good response for that topic.
Pardon me for this bump.

It would be nice to get a clear confirmation from the author himself but everything's been blurred for a while and the only option if you are going commercial is to either code yourself or look for similar script.

Or enhance on other ready script i guess.
But seriously XAS lloks pretty. It would be a shame to re invent the wheel,
if the author can give it under CC BY 3.

The only way I think is to contact at-ninja.jp and ask about xrxs's contact info but you'll only have slim chance since they won't likely give away their client's contact info.

They got a faceboook page. I asked them there to give me a good translation of the terms.

Asking to give me his personal info does not sound like a good idea at all, don't you think? :P

The original author (japanese) have a facebook page? If it is then ask for the terms.

Sorry you got me wrong here.
I was refering to at-ninja.jp. I kindly asked for a proper translation of the terms (works for me)

Yeah it's quite similar to CC by 3.0 but the only problem is that the japanese author failed to specify what the license pertains if the license can be used on commercial projects. Thanks for the update but I think I'll look for other scripts, it has been a while anyway maybe someone have created something new.

"If you made a game using script or material on this website, there's no need to give credits in particular."

I think this is enough to declare the script free to use in general on any game.
Of course some of the resources used, are rips so there must be substituted with legit ones.
That is the only problem i can spot.
Otherwise, script seems ok.
Correct me if i am wrong.
