Ripping the weapons from Rage?

Forum rules
Before posting your Resource, please make sure you can answer YES to any of the following questions:
  • Is the resource ENTIRELY my own work?
  • If no to the previous one, do I have permission from the original author?
  • If no to the previous one, did I put a reasonable amount of work into the resource myself, such that the changes are noticeably different from the source that I could take credit for them?
If you answered no to all three, maybe you should consider taking your stuff somewhere other than the Resources forum.

Consult the Resource/Request Posting Guidelines for more information.

Please don't put requests here! They have their own forum --> here. Thank you!

Ripping the weapons from Rage?

With Rage out, I'm pretty sure it's inevitable that people are start ripping the resources like the weapons even the sounds don't you think?

Are you specifically requesting that they be ripped?

For the record, I would NOT recommend ripping them until the game's popularity has gone down enough.

In "off topic" there's a topic for discussing Rage itself. Number of replies: 0. At the same moment, the topic for pilfering resources from it, number of replies: 3.


It's sad.

What I gathered from #zdoom last night, it does not sound very spectacular. Then again, I wouldn't rip its resources either way, seeing it be a game so new. That and I'd prefer original stuff above ripped stuff anyway.

Yeah - I honestly don't think they should be ripped for at least a few months.

Ideally, yes. But you can't stop it from happening eventually.

I suppose what I could do here, though, is a Zero Tolerance Policy: any posting of resources from Rage will be removed.

Do we have to wait 15 years to rip the resources from it? ;)

Seems weird to make a policy banning only a single game's resources, unless you decide to ban all rips ever. What's the big deal? If someone makes great Rage rips, that's great. If they make crappy ones, we'll ignore them. :P

Would it make you happier if I said this is only temporary? I just think it's kind of uncool for a game to only be out for a few days and have people already wanting to distribute rips.

The hell? Ripping resources from Rage is not a good idea but only because they wouldn't fit in doom at all. BUT if someone ripped AND edited the weapons so that they fit doom, or even just distributed the weapons so that someone could edit them (this has been done before anyway), where would the problem be? It'd have enough original content imo.

But yeah, as long as it's just temporary that's fine.

It seems like a very unnecessary exception to make. It's just gonna tempt someone to slide down the slippery slope at some point. :(
