zwitschi 80ef80b490 attribution: in-game ODbL credit via AGigLineHUD
Completes "Geographic attribution display" for 0.1.0. The demo is built from
OpenStreetMap data (ODbL 1.0) and needs attribution wherever the derived work
is shown, so the credit now lives in the running game, not just the documents.

- AGigLineHUD (C++): plain AHUD::DrawText in the bottom-left draws
  "(c) OpenStreetMap contributors" and "Data (c) OpenStreetMap contributors,
  ODbL 1.0 - openstreetmap.org/copyright", with a shadow pass so it stays
  legible over bright pavement and sky. No UMG widget asset is involved, so a
  cook cannot drop the attribution through a missing widget reference.
- AGigLineGameModeBase: HUDClass = AGigLineHUD, so the credit is on by default
  in both the DemoMap and the ReviewMap.
- AGigLineShotActor: screenshots are requested with the UI shown, so the credit
  appears in every capture under Screenshots/ - the obligation is provable from
  the images rather than only described.

Docs:
- THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES records that the attribution is displayed in-game and
  where the code lives.
- Screenshots/README documents the overlay.
- TODO marks the item done and narrows the remaining ODbL question to the
  shipped-derivative-database posture.

Squash of branch gameplay-attribution-0.1.0 (PR #4).

Component Source Licence Status

Attribution string for any OSM-derived output: "© OpenStreetMap contributors", https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright. The data is available under the Open Database License 1.0.

This attribution is displayed in the running game, not only in this document: AGigLineHUD (Game/GigLine/Source/GigLine/GigLineHUD.cpp) draws the credit and the licence URL in the bottom-left of every frame, so the obligation is met by the shipped build. It is visible in every capture under Screenshots/ because the screenshot actor requests screenshots with the UI shown.

Reference photography (local only, not committed, not shipped)

Reference photographs are not part of this repository. They live in the gitignored Art/reference/ tree on the development machine, are used only for internal, private development, and are never built into a build or shipped. .gitignore enforces this; nothing under Art/reference/ may be added, staged, or committed.

Local folder Source Provenance
Art/reference/hollywood/ Copied 2026-11-06 from …/06-games/security-game/docs/screens/refs/hollywood/ That folder's SIDECAR.md (author, licence, URL, crop notes)
Art/reference/north-chinese/ Fetched 2026-11-06 with Tools/commons_fetch.py from the Wikimedia Commons API sidecar.json in the folder
Art/reference/north-tussauds/ Same sidecar.json in the folder

Reference notes and images are local only and excluded from version control.

Rules that still apply, because they are about shipped output rather than local working material:

  • No reference photograph may be shipped, baked into a texture, or distributed. If a shipped asset would otherwise derive from one, that is a licensing decision to be made before the release, recorded here.
  • Venue lettering, signage artwork, and trademarks are separate rights from the photograph. Copying a façade's proportions is not the same as reproducing its signage.
  • A reference image whose provenance cannot be found locally must not be used at all.

Assets

Component Source Licence Status
Character mesh, standard rig, and baked skin MPFB 2.0.18 bundled base mesh, rig, and textures; Tools/mpfb_character_export.py CC0 1.0 for bundled assets Verified against the versioned MPFB licence; imported character assets and Blender source are tracked.
