I'll agree though, quite a few do take graphics from other games. It all boils down to the fact that there aren't that many texture artists that still actively contribute to the Doom community, and as a result, map makers/modders take stuff from other games if it suits the look they're going for. 0 Share this post Link to post

SyntherAugustus Posted July 7, 2002 it's the only way to have a good medieval wad. when it comes to strife, the doom2050 wad did a horrible job splatting in the enemies from strife into doom. 0 Share this post Link to post

Kaiser Posted July 8, 2002 well, I use some textures from Hexen/Heretic. AV.wad uses it. TeamTNT uses it. Don't see any harm if we do it... 0 Share this post Link to post
SteelPH Posted July 8, 2002 can we say copyright infringement?(ok, maybe not). can we say ripping whoever the hell made hexen/heretric? 0 Share this post Link to post
Sphagne Posted July 8, 2002 Why stop at those, Lets steal from Duke or DarkForces or Blood ... for an example of these you can take a look at this file, although it has lots of original resources as well: ftp://3darchives.in-span.net/pub/idgames/combos/spzdoom2.wad ;) 0 Share this post Link to post
NiGHTMARE Posted July 8, 2002 there aren't that many texture artists that still actively contribute to the Doom community IMHO there are more texture artists than there ever have been 0 Share this post Link to post

Just doesn't seem to be that many though, even if there are more than there ever have been... 0 Share this post Link to post
Naked Snake Posted July 8, 2002 Dude, people swipe stuff from other games because they are to lazy/lack the ability to make their own stuff. 0 Share this post Link to post

hypr Posted July 8, 2002 they are pretty popular games tho since they use the same wad format you can easily rename the entries to what you want named its just like how some nostaligic tcs use starwars stuff cause the stuff fairly common as for textures the only thing these texture people who steal textures from other people are stealing are lacking is a good painting program not like microsoft paint something more powerful something that does weird effects like paint shop pro 0 Share this post Link to post
Little Faith Posted July 8, 2002 Because they can't be arsed to make any themselves. I'm most tired of wads that steal monsters from Heretic/Hexen. 0 Share this post Link to post
LordTrasher Posted July 10, 2002 I'd imagine it'd be most useful when making a conversion of a map, like with DOOM Nukem (E1L1 of Duke3d remade for Doom2.exe) 0 Share this post Link to post
