Sometimes, GitHub can lead you to a wrong url; you can kinda try clicking the url to download the animation. I encountered a similar issue before, I tried to click the download button again and it worked. I think the problem was because of the third-party download thingy since it both compresses the folder and downloads it. cmiiw tho
Related to Alice’s things, I want to clarify several things.
- Alice was posting the animation on a thread in FEUniverse website. So technically, FEU rules still apply even though we are talking for repo assets. Repo anims policy will only apply in the repository website and should not be considered as to nullify the policy in FEU; which means animations which are NOT hosted in the repo should be considered as NOT F2U/F2E. Animations in repo will adhere to repo’s policy (and yes, animations in the repo are F2E).
- The reason I brought this up was it was originally a still and not an animation package. Just like what Contro said, the animation still was hosted on Smirks’s thread and there was no indicator about F2U/F2E in Smirks’s thread. Similar to portrait edits (splices nor customs); stills should not be considered as “F2U/F2E by default” so please always assume all creative works as not F2U/F2E by default unless clearly stated otherwise.
- Coincidentally, Alice mentioned that the still is an edit from a vanilla animation. Regardless of the work was originally from a vanilla animation or not, people should or maybe must respect the work because even then; the edit is still an original effort from the artist themselves and are considered their intellectual property. And so, please refrain from using someone else’s work without their permission.
I hope this post can answer question both asked and unasked. If you have more questions about the rules, please read the rules thread here. And if you still even have more questions after reading it, feel free to reach me via DM.
Thank you!
