    Some info on the extension properties here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/refdoc/properties.xcp
    Then you can create an extension that only includes your own artwork.
    Thank you. Loadorder was exactly the information I needed.

    If you don't want to include your own copyright, then that's fine. But if you're using other people's work which is covered under copyright, and you have permission to use their work, then you should include that copyright.

    All of the FG community work I do includes the SmiteWorks copyright, I don't copyright my own work - but I do expect people to ask me if they can use their code, only out of politeness and respect for other community developer wishes.
    Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages. General FG questions should be asked in the forums - don't be afraid, the FG community don't bite and you're giving everyone the chance to respond and learn!

    Since I found out about loadorder, I built my extension from scratch, and both Simple Brown and SimplePlus now blends just fine.

    Well, in practice, people are going to see "Ask me for permission." as "He's just going to turn me down if I ask, or try to sell me the rights, and I'm not a major company, so why bother?". ...and especially XML code is so easy to do that it's like the process of buying a carton of milk at the store. That's why I want people to NOT credit me: It'd just be too much of a hassle for them. ...but in your case, if you do actual work, then I understand.

    My experience, with over 8 years of developing community content for FG, is not like that at all. In fact, with only a very small minority, it's been quite the opposite.

    That's a bit surprising, but on the other hand you're always at hand, here in these forums where the askers are. I'll be here maybe for a few months, and after that I'll probably stop logging in, and don't want to keep getting emails from people wanting to use my stuff that I made years ago.

    Make sure you set your preferences so that you don't get notifications every time a thread is replied to. And, you can just make a statement with anything you publish like "I release this content to the Public Domain." or otherwise indicate your wishes. I know it's surprising, but around here almost everyone spends the few extra minutes to reach out to each other and show some respect. It's part of why this community is so different than most other places on the net

    That's actually a problem for me: How do you turn those reply notifications ON? I've scoured the settings without finding such a setting, so I just have to patrol the forum manually, looking for replies. My subscription feed fluctuates vividly before my eyes, and I see occational users disappear beneath the waves of this storm, often just leaving me with a surface of my own replies.
    However, turning notifications off, would just leave the rest of the users hanging, waiting for a reply that will probably never come.

    And, you can just make a statement with anything you publish like "I release this content to the Public Domain." or otherwise indicate your wishes.
    Would that be allowed, if Fantasy Grounds is somehow connected to it? There's one and a half icons that an FG artist has made too.

    You're saying that in an attempt to make me feel safe and welcome, but that's exactly what scares me. I can't bond with humans. Instead they just bond against me. I try to keep to my projects, and be useful, but often that doesn't help.

    Yes, that's those are the options that I've been going over. My best guess is to turn "Show New Private Message Notification Pop-up" on, and see if that helps. ...but when I think of a pop-up, I think of a whole window pop-ing up.
