Perhaps the best solution will be to try sending a PM to Geos.
In the meantime, I searched for Geos' posts in the art subforums, and I found this thread, that contains some nice images and a tutorial. Some of these (I haven't checked) may be effectively used in LTD. :wink:

I already PM'ed him and his co-developer.

From the thread you linked I got all those images by Sgt. Groovy. ;)
Maybe I'll try if I can use that tutorial also on some images by myself if I get enough time. If anyone else gets to it, please send me the results if you want to have them included in this collection :)

You should consider running wesnoth-optipng on this addon since it'll be very beneficial probably. It's here:
http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/wesnoth/trunk/utils/
and is probably rather easy to run on Linux. It's a bash shell script. Possibly it requires some of the other tools from that directory but the error messages you get should guide you. It also requires some libraries you probably need to install - look in the file.
If you can't work it out you can host the addon in the wesnoth UMC repository so someone else can do:

Thanks, I'll do :)
However, my system isn't working correctly any more, so it could take one or two days before I start. ;)

Okay, took more time than expected. But finally:
Version 0.0.4 went to the servers

Changes:

Code: Select all

 * Removed twilight.png & twilightland.png due to unclear licenses
 * Removed all core files
 * Ran wesnoth-optipng on all files

After quite some time I sadly did not receive an answer from the creators of Love to Death, so I decided to remove those images from the package until I finally get a response. Thus I announce:
Version 0.0.5 published for both 1.8 and 1.9

Code: Select all

 - Removed all images from Love to Death due to unclear licenses
If you find more artwork to be included, please tell me.
Maybe I should start naming the versions 0.1 or even 1.0 slowly...

Has this been taken down?

I updated to 11.1 and this doesn't show up.

Oh. No, it's still on the 1.8 and the 1.9/1.10 servers, but I forgot to upload it to the 1.11 one. I will do so later, thanks for reminding me.

Thanks for this collection, I wish I had seen it earlier. I made several photos containing ruins, woods and other kind of landscapes for my campaigns maybe you could add them after I turned them into a painting?

I'm done 55 pictures ready for upload. I will still need to make some final changes and resize the pictures, but as these are 48 MB I don't want to upload them in the forum. Shall I publish them on http://opengameart.org?

Regards, good Sir

As promised I just uploaded the pictures on opengameart.org. Feel free to browse the package and add what you want.
Well, I thought one could easily change pictures and view them all, I can make an overview if you like.

Thanks! :)
I resized them to the mainline image size and converted them to jpg, so they are small enough. Now I added all of them to the resource add-on.

Despite hating doing so, I also renamed three files because of weird naming; if you are using this add-on you may want to check the _main.cfg for the exact changes.

I'm sorry that you had to resize and convert them, I thought I already had them in the size required. Yeah, jpg is smaller indeed, I thought they had to be png.
I'm fine with the changes, thanks for adding them. Next time I should check the requirements more carefully.

There will be a new fantasy image update for winter, with some beautiful winter images I have taken recently. I will finish them, when I have time. According to the actual discussion on opengamesart: Is there a probem if I use public domain or do these pictures HAVE to be licenced under gpl 2.0 (or higher) to be used in bfw?
