Ehm... People, I need your help.
I'm trying to create an RPG using Zandronum engine. So here are my questions:

1. Is it illegal to use Witchaven weapons?
2. Is it illegal to create fully standalone (and possibly a little commercial) game, which runs on Zandronum?
3. If previous things are illegal, what is the best way to create first person weapons? I tried to draw them, but I spend a load of time on a completely shitty final result.

I am not a lawer, but I think you should talk to the creators of Zdoom and Zandronum if you wanna make it commercial. Not sure about the Witchhaven weps, though.

It takes a LOT of time and practice to make a good weapon from scratch. For now, just edit the works of other modders or DOOM engine games. Again, I am not a lawyer, so I don't know about the legality of that, either.

Witchaven's weapons were likely created with a camera and a green-screen, and a lot of tweaking work.

Wasn't Action Doom 2 sold commercially? Or was that the original?

Sort-of. You could (and can) download it for free, but there was a CD release as well (according to the doom wiki, anyway).

All the graphics I believe were done that way for that game. All the enemies were clay models.

1. Is it illegal to use Witchaven weapons?

1. Not really, people do it all the time. If you're using it for something "commercial" it will be illegal but you will not be sued because the company no longer exist (however it is strongly advised you NOT do so).
2. It is not illegal, but this does of course mean a new IWAD, it can't run with Zandronum and be sold unless you are given permission. Why would you even want to sell it? Honestly, you'd probably make less than $100, even if it was top of the line stuff, you're not going to make a lot of money from an outdated engine. (Doom 3 BFG Edition is only $30 compared to new games with top of the line everything, which usually cost $60 for example) and why would you make people pay for it? Get a job and make games with modern engines if you really need money from video games. Not to mention, do you even know how the business works? You are not going to be able to just go to Gamestop and say, "I made a game".
3. You can use a green screen (or just a really white room). Then you take pictures in FP view. It takes a lot of work, just as drawing from scratch does. If you don't like doing it, and you think it's to tough, that's fine. Many people on these forums would help you make all the weapon graphics.. if you paid them enough.

Does anyone have a pickup sprite for this?

[lizardcommando]

Ok, so I will just post this up and see what I get...

This is kind of a big request, as I've never seen anything close to what I'm about to ask...

... I need a WW2 era sniper rifle, with a scope... and has to look rusty and worn out like it has been sitting in the desert for years... and also has to be angled and not a center sprite. And maybe if possible, reloading sprites too? Coding isn't required, just sprites as I could pull out some cheap coding out of my ars for it.

I'll be away for a week or 2, so I won't respond right away... so if anyone has anything they could message me so I can see later.

I'm not sure if this is what you might be looking for, but here you go. It's what I'm using for my mod right now. It's an edited version of the sniper rifle that was used in Wildweasel's Diaz mod. It's originally from Redneck Deer Hunting iirc. You'll probably need to do a bit of editing with it. But here you go. It has no hands just in case you wanted to add your own hands to them.

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to have a go at creating some STARxx (i.e. STARBR1, STARTAN1, etc) style designs using the following base textures. I've tried myself but none of them looked too convincing.



I'm especially interested in the SHAWN and TEKGREN ones .

That looks really good! Did you make it, or...?

[Zombieguy]

I didn't make it. HellCattX did.

Well, if I get the courage to try, I might be able to make a pickup sprite. Looks easy enough, even though half of the gun can't be seen.

EDIT: I just noticed that the sight on the gun dissappears during the reloading animation.

[Zombieguy]

Cool. Thanks.

HellCattX didn't make it, Scuba Steve did.
