In Reply to: Releasing a level - legal issues... posted by Dragon Cultist on February 20, 1998 at 18:34:15:
> I was just wondering what I must legally include in a zip file to release a new level to the public. Could somebody please write me a list of what I need to include so that I don't break any legal issues. Do I need to restate the agreement in a readme file or something? Also, how do I know if the level works only in the CD version of Jedi Knight and not on OEM or demo versions?
Well you are supposed to provide what it says in the agreement.After all they are not out to get us little guys that buy their games.Basicly use common sense.If you hack and trash their games with your level ,then expect them to perk up their ears possibly, if you tried hard to make something that goes with the flow of the game as it was intended don`t fret.
basicly if you include what ever files are needed to run the level (the Gob) and the jk_auth.txt file that s all you need to do.
> I was reading the license agreement and it says that Jedi Knight sounds cannot be included in a level. Did I take this the wrong way or must we record our own sounds for use within a level?
I really don`t know on this issue. It certainly covers the CD music for sure.Now wether you could use converted files from some other games they make or not i don`t know. A little more clearer agreement for us non laywer types would have been nicer.One thing ,if you make your own sound , your fine..
