Hi,
I am bringing Wolf3d to Unreal and I've just made it so that the weapons have coloured lighting on them- yet they are still 2d things. You have to own the original Wolfenstein 3-D to play it though- but I was wondering if I could bring the duke3d weapons to Unreal. They would be just the same except they would have extra lighting effects. Would I need to have a check to see if they own duke3d? And what if I waited until duke4ever until I released it and made it an add-on for duke4ever? Would I need to check to see if they own duke3d?
Thanks.

You need to talk to id Software about Wolfenstein, and it's use. We don't control that.

Hey you changed the topic name did you? It was called "legal issues" I think. Basically what I said is that I got away with bringing Wolfenstein 3-D to Unreal and I was wondering if I could bring the duke3d weapons to Unreal or would I have to wait until duke4ever. (I thought you said that Apogee/3drealms weren't very strict about that type of thing) I'll probably email someone from Apogee/3drealms about it sometime anyway though.
