Hope to god no one who works for the makers of UT2004 sees this.

Otherwise your ass is dead.

It's illegal, as the stuff is copywrited. Putting into a map for someone else's program is not really good for your wallet.

It's not worth the risk of getting sued for millions of pounds.

They won't sue. He is putting it in a map, if ANYTHING they would like him to do that. So, no worries. He's not selling it for money...

They probably won't sue, but it's important to note that what he proposes to do is illegal, and Blizzard might not like their game medium being using the store illegal data. Basically, I seriously doubt anyone will care, but there's always a chance, so do it at your own risk.

If you really want to do this even with the issues, I suggest asking in the Sound Forum.

Maybe not, but still, don't you think you need permission to do that? (just wondering though)

Like people said before, try the sound forum, this is Trigger Haven now after all...

erm, seriously, if I use their sounds, whats illegal?
I could also open d2 sounds with mpq and import them into my maps
(illegal???)

My only prob is, how to OPEN it...
The Demo was free for me, so I get the sounds and other stuff for free, so I wont get punished for "giving it free" in my maps, will I? :\

Look @Dota, famous map » Sounds from UT2k4 ...

I guess I wont get a serious answer here... all discuss about illegal or legal...

The legality of using copyright data without the owner's permission is entirely serious. Using Diablo 2 soundtracks is also illegal, but I think that Blizzard wouldn't mind at all because they created both games.

Ask in the sound forum if you want it badly.

Your right there.

Epic games really would not be happy about importing stuff...what next? Porting the whole game to half-life? (Yes, i know that can't be done, but that is just an example).

Blizzard don't give a monkeys ass if you import stuff from D2 into War3, but it would still be illegal.

From a brand new epic games game into a relatively old blizzard game?

Maybe they won't mind, but it's still:

unethical
illegal
really evil to the makers, PAY THEM YOU IDIOT! You haven't even brought the game...
totally boring, really, if your gunna import it, use the origionals music. Much better, and less chance of being sued.

I don't really know if there is a reason to keep this thread open.
