doom legality

[Aaron]

is it legal to port levels over from shareware chexquest/doom/dukenukem if you put the credits in the level (on a wall)?

No, it isn't. That level geometry was sold for money, and what you're doing is taking the work of other people and redistributing it for free, when it hasn't been released under open-source licenses.

Besides, they wouldn't work well in SRB2 at all. Doom works best in cramped spaces, whereas SRB2 thrives in the open.

Upscaling level size powers go? I mean sure, it'd look a bit wierd but it'd definently be a lot more functional. Otherwise I'd have to agree that Doom geometry in general is pretty unsuited to SRB2, being overly cramped and flat.

Though while we're on the subject, I've always wondered how Doom monsters would work in SRB2...

Maybe death-match levels could work as SRB2's Match levels?
I actually have tried to port the first 3 Levels of Doom's first episode in SRB2. Because it would be a pain in the arse to re-texture the levels, it doesn't have thok barriers.
I'll post screenshots later.
EDIT: It has tons of bugs, but whatever.
