Quick question...

 

Is TDM going to be using the sound effects from the previous Thief games or do you guys plan to record your own sound effects?

 

I'd love to have the original sound effects for the sake of authenticity, but I imagine there are probably legal barriers to using them. So, assuming you have to record your own sound effects, do you forsee them being equivalent in quality and/or quantity to the originals?

 

Personally, I think the sound effects and the ambient sound are some of the most important aspects of the 'thief experience,' so to speak. I hope that they are not neglected in pursuit of some of the niftier features that are being discussed.

Well, hopefully as good as.

 

But since we can't use TDS sounds anyway (LEGAL REASONS), what's the point in even talking about it?

What legal reasons? Can they actually copyright or trademark a sound??

 

Just rerecord it and very slightly change it somehow.

IMO a soundeffect can not really be copyrighted, because it doesn't hold enough "artistic creation" (Schoepfungshoehe). For entire tracks this c ertainly is true though. Even so, you shouldn't confuse copyright with inteleectual property. They have the copyright for their recorded sound effects, but they have no intellectual propery rights on them. Otherwise we would never see any heartbeat sound in any game anymore. :)

      Was checking out old translation packs and decided to fire up TDM 1.07. Rightful Property with sub-20 FPS areas yay! ( same areas run at 180FPS with cranked eye candy on 2.12 )

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.
