Howdy,

I am working on a project, it's been quite some time, and I have played some WADs in my lifetime, but, I was never a fan of MIDIs. Sometimes, they are good, sometimes, they just grind my gears. Still, I would rather have a normal, non-MIDI soundtrack.

I have a bunch of a favorite games with some excellent soundtracks (namely Command & Conquer, Worms Armageddon), but I obviously don't own any of them and I don't have any rights to use them.

Would it be possible to simply get my thing (when it's finished) uploaded to idgames or wherever you release WADs with the music that I want? Or will it get rejected flat out and I'll get into some murky waters?

Because I thought about it and I don't want any legal trouble, it's obviously not for profit, but still, it's someone elses property that I want to use.

I could ask the original composers for a permission, but, somehow I doubt that they will reply positively, or at all. And I think the music really adds to the atmosphere.

Also, another question, if it's a game soundtrack, and I edit it and rearrange it (not a remix/reimagination, no changing the melody, I'm not a musician or a DJ), does that constitute a remix and is that then fine to use? Under fair use or something?

Anyway, thank you for replying.

Is this possible? So far I've tried but no dice, either I don't understand the syntax or it isn't possible.

I have managed to make it switch icons to blue armor/green armor when you pick up blue or green armor, but now I want to change the color of the numbers, so that if you pick up blue armor, the number is blue, and when you have just regular armor (or armor bonuses), the number is green.

So, I had someone playtest something for me, and they had the red damage tint set to 1 while I want every player of my game to have it at 0.15 and I have no idea on how to do it.

I've tried messing with CVARINFO and DEFCVARS, I don't understand it.

I tried making an autoexec with exactly one line:

blood_fade_scalar = 0.15

and it loads it, but, it sets it to 0 instead of 0.15, I know some values are integers only but some support floats, and, I'd like it to be 0.15, so... how do I do this exactly?

Is there a way I can put it directly into the WAD?

EDIT: Solved the issue by making a batch file that loads my WAD and the aforementioned setting. I don't like it to be this way, but... needs must.
