doom2day Posted July 4, 2007 Can I use doom2 resources in doom, or do I need to take the resources from FreeDoom? (Because boom allows stuff from doom2 if given the proper sprites) Similar topic but not exactly the same http://www.doomworld.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=40574 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted July 4, 2007 I think this is being discussed here at the moment. 0 Share this post Link to post
doom2day Posted July 4, 2007 The alpha of doom was NOT RELEASED and NOT COMMECIALIZED. (Well the second is implied by the first but...) However, Doom2 was released commericially. And yes, I saw the threads. I got no definitive answers. 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted July 5, 2007 Each game is a separate product (even though they are sometimes sold todether, such as in the Anthology and in the Collectors Edition). You can use resources from a game in a PWAD if they are already in the corresponding IWAD. Hollenshead clarified this to the KDiZD team when they asked him, and that's why the KDiZD team didn't use DOOM II's Hell knight and SSG, for example. Obviously some people have infringed the EULA in this respect and they aren't floating dead somewhere, but if you want to stick to the copyright owner's requests, then use commercial stuff only from the game you're modding for. 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted July 5, 2007 So all those Doom II maps with Doom 1 music or skies are illegal? 0 Share this post Link to post
EANB Posted July 5, 2007 I suppose final doom would complicate things a bit? 0 Share this post Link to post
chungy Posted July 5, 2007 Not if you're making a PWAD for either Final Doom game I suppose. 0 Share this post Link to post
YMB Posted July 6, 2007 Final Doom adds like 10 textures, tops. Why you'd want those for a non-FD wad is beyond me. 0 Share this post Link to post
