ID24: A new Doom mapping standard

In the EU, there is a 50-year rule for recognizing a work as public domain. That is, sprites, textures and graphics, as a work of art, must be in the public domain after 20 years. In the US, it is more complicated, most likely a precedent will be required, that is, a court hearing on recognizing these materials as public domain based on the EU legal precedent. Maps are technically drawings, it seems that copyright also applies to the design, but I do not know for sure. A more subtle point with patch tables and file names. Actually, they are in the source code, which is open, but they are also in iwad, which is not free. Here, I think, is a subtle point that can be disputed.

In general, it would be great if the Doom Shareware were recognized as public domain, taking into account its great social significance.

That doesn't really answer my question at all. I was looking for a technical explanation: does this lump make it any easier to make custom statbars over the old graphic replacing method?

that "blackmail" was exactly what summarized in thread later: kraflab wrote that he knows some things essel told about him behind his back, and therefore he doesn't believe in essel's good intentions, or even neutrality. literally that. that's what DW moderators and their close… ahem… close… nevermind are calling "blackmail". "you should never know what we are really thinking about you, and you should never tell others that you know!"

i have some such "blackmail" about me too, btw. it is not that hard, lol.

Will mappers actually map for this

Hey redneckerz , FUCK YOU and the horse you rode in on.  I'm not sure why you have Bethesda and NightDive's collective dicks in your mouth, especially since you aren't benefitting financially from this shitshow.  It's way more than a "vocal minority" that has concerns, despite how you are attempting to paint things.  Tons of people already think this is bullshit, and when it makes the rounds and comes to everyone's attention, it's only gonna get worse.  People have every right to be mistrustful and cast doubt.  Shit likes this happens all the time in the video game industry and elsewhere, including WITH BETHESDA THEMSELVES, YOU FUCKING DUNCE!  So what if it involves some people from the Doom community?  Does that somehow make them immune to being pieces of shit and helping to usher in an objectively shitty new change to the Doom modding space?  I could give a flying fuck about how long Xaser and Gooberman have been in the community.  That doesn't mean shit to me.  I don't automatically assume positive intent because these people have had an account on a Doom forum and fucked around in a wad editor for 20 years.  I don't trust those cocksuckers at all.

You posted your response about "community" on a Doomworld thread, bud. Doomworld is a site run by people who censor opposing viewpoints more stringently than Communist China and North Korea.  Yet you act like any person who dares think that "community members" might be doing something nefarious is somehow way off base?  Most of the Doomworld moderation team have been shown, time and time again, to be the most absolutely toxic, nasty, and immature people on the internet.  Frankly, I think tenured and "seasoned" community members should be vetted much more thoroughly, if for no other reason than they've been stewing in the rancid Doomworld echo chambers and sniffing each others' farts for way too long.

No one gives a fuck if you are disappointed, motherfucker.  I hope you cry your dumb ass to sleep about it.  This is, very obviously, a fucking stupid decision and a real dickhead move by Bethesda and id Software, with NightDive in tow.  I'm going to be absolutely fucking thrilled when no one maps for this horseshit id24 mapping standard.  And then morons like you are going to slink away and not make reference to it again, pretending you never cheerled it like a giddy fucking school-girl.  But we'll remember your actions, enshrined forever as a shameful testament to your missing testicles.

«we released unfinished shit, because we wanted our money. now eat it.» no, thank you, i'm not that hungry.

It was released too early, yes. But something something publisher something. Hopefully 1.0 addresses a lot of the criticisms.

So even though it's buggy and incomplete you think they deserve a Cacoward for a technical achievement?
