I was thinking of making a Doom based Cube mod.No levels from original Doom will be inside of that mod,only models,sound,music and textures.I alreadt made some work on it like added some weapon models or Doom monsters.
Link to screenshots doesn't work for some reasons but if you like to see them,i will be more than happy to send you some.
Is here someone who wishes to help?

I guess it escaped your attention that 99% of mods based on someone else's intellectual property go one of two routes:
1) Suck horribly and go no where. This is the most popular choice.
2) Gain notice of the ip holder and are told to cease and desist. This is known as being foxed.

But even better, someone already had your exact idea. Down to the letter. They did something unusual and managed to get foxed while sucking at the same time.

heh heh. In a nutshell, what you are suggesting is illegal and every effort before has either sucked horribly or been close enough to get the project sued.

Dang :(

I didn't know that it's illegal?On Wolfenstein 3D Dome there is a whole bunch of Doom mods that use graphics,sounds and music from it so i figured,what about making something like that for Cube.

Creating an addon for wolf3d with doom content and making a mod for a "foreign" engine with it are two diffrent things I believe.

The only option you´d have was to create a mod that would _feel_ similar to doom if you´re missing that special atmosphere.

#7: already quite doom-like

by CC_machine2 on 01/04/2006 20:50

cube is already just similar to DooM anyways (no room-over room, have to keep moving & shooting all the time etc)

P.S. why does noone say DooM anymore (with the capital M)?

Unless you intend to market your product, legality means shit.
