whats the view on using sources from other games in mods?

[Oddball_E8]

i was just wondering... ive used some sounds from oblivion to great effect in M&B since i got 1.003 and i just got to wondering what the view on releasing a mod with those sounds would be on this forum?

im assuming its against the rules since it usually is on most forums... but how about the file repository? same there or what?

I don't think it's allowed.
Most users including me don't welcome it either.
The best thing you can do is to post an instruction on how to port the sounds from Oblivion to MaB.

I'm pretty sure in order to do so, you would need to get permission from either the company that owns the rights to the game, or the composer of the music..or both

yeah... thats what i figured... oh well... ill have to live with the mod on my own then hehe

Hm, perhaps, if you released it and was like...

NOTE: ALL SOUNDS BELONG TO THE OWNERS OF THE GAME 'OBLIVION' AND THE ORIGINAL COMPOSER\SOUND DIRECTOR, THE SOUNDS DO NOT IN ANY WAY\SHAPE\OR FORM BELONG TO ME, (and I recommend that if you haven't already, then you go and pick up a copy today!)

well im gonna keep the sounds for myself... if anyone wants them they will just have to figure out how to extract them from the oblivion files (not that hard if you look at some of the oblivion modding sites) and convert them to .ogg files (even easier)
