Wot type of sounds u got?
-
stuf like:
RPG! RPG!
We've got a Blackhawk down! I repeat a Blackhawk down!
stuff like that, and then other things like
'C.P. Black, this is Delta 5-1. We've planted the explosives on the roof.'
tell me what u want and i'll see if i got it ;D
-
Huray for Delta force black hawk down ;)
I recognise the soudns from the game :P
They're in the PFF files (Theres programs to open 'em)
But if you've converted the sounds to ogg, thats pretty usefull :)
Maybe you could make up a .ext file, and upload it to the editors depot? :)
Wonder what other games have convertable sound files :)

All of the Unreal Tournament games do, I have the collections, so does GTA Vice City, I also know quite a few that come with the music already on the discs, such as Total Annhiliation and Ghost Recon

I doubt ofpec wants to host copyrighted material from a competing product in these
times of mindless lawsuits. :)
-
Surely OFPEC is a non-profit educational orginisation?
-
That dont mean they can distribute copyrighted material without the copyright owner's permission.
-
What do you reckon the law is on putting copyrighted material in missions? Im unsure on the law and dont wanna get sued lol :-\
-
Well legally your in the wrong, but, if you keep it quiet, i doubt anyone is going to report to the copyright owner after playing your mission (they arent that bad are they? ;) ) and even then, i would expect they have bigger cases to pursue.
I think your also legally allowed to have a 30 second sample from a song, as long as its not the complete thing :) And presumably your not making a profit from it.
-
What would the law say if i made the mission then only distributed it within a few people through msn or something rather than putting it on a website?
-
That would be illegal too, since you are not allowed to disassemble (in any way) the product (the game).
And the entire game is probably regarded, legally, as one entity, if you extract anything from this entity, such as a file, you are smoked. But of course they wouldnt go after you, mostly because they would never find out, and if they did, you are no threat to them, their product, marketing, bla bla, in any way.
OFPEC on the other hand is one of the most popular OFP communities (if you may), which makes it high profile, and hence an easy target.
Im not telling you not to use resources from other games to enhance your mission/addon/whatever.
Everyone does.
But it would be foolish by an organisation such as OFPEC to openly distribute such resources.
But enough with this legal crap already :)
-
I'm not worried about the Game soundtracks, its using music that worries me, can they still sue even if i have bought the original cd?
-
I want them, could you send me a PM from where i can get them ?
-
To qualm all of ur fears about all copyrighted materials:
ur allowed 2 use copyrighted material as long as you are not using the material in a profitable way. This means we cant sell the missions for money as a profit >:( ;D
So have no fears. And everyone should know this if your read the License Agreemant for OFP. :P
HAVE YOU? ;)

@ Kuro
As soon as i have converted al the files and fixed my personal OFP site, they will be posted there. The site is www.opflash.4t.com (http://www.opflash.4t.com).
It might take a few days :P
Cheers:cheers:

If you look for the OFP Sound stuido, it can do mass convertions of WAV files to oggs ;)

Thanks,
time to revive my old BHD MOD (or to be honest BHD themed mission collection).

The mission Operation LoJack was pulled from the OFPEC file archive since the company that owns the trademark LoJacktm felt that it was a breach of trademark law. See the newspost here (http://www.ofpec.com/intel/index.php?a=show&newsID=791&catID=4).
If the author of this thread contacts NovaLogic and obtains explicit written consent that he is allowed to make these sounds available freely on the internet, and provides this written consent to OFPEC, we will discuss hosting them here. Until such time, this thread is classified as discussing breaking copyright laws, and that's not allowed here at OFPEC.
If and when explicit written consent is obtained, the author of this thread can PM me and I will unlock the thread and explain the situation.
