Wow, already downloading this!

I think this should be legal as it includes no material, made by iD Software, it is rather a remake of the original, made entirely from scratch by its own authors, which can be thought of the "fan art" subclass of "fair use"... I wouldn't try to sell it, though...!

am i missing something here? doom 3 was never released on dvd and you also don't need a noCD for that game, as id software removed the CD check pretty quick after the game's release.
btw, i played that classic doom addon for doom 3 some time ago, it's a very nice remake of the first doom 1 episode.

Its legal, the source code for doom has been released for free by iD

This does not use doom 1 at all, if that is what you mean. Someone just recreated the Doom maps in the D3 map maker. It is hosted on fileplanet, and completely legal.

@robo989: The source code for the DOOM engine has been released for free distribution but NOT the data files of the actual game built around it! Therefore, distribution of the DOOM data files (graphics, sounds, musics) is still illegal. (But, as we said, this remake doesn't use any of the original data...)

so did ya get it to work joe?

Oh, absolutely. Just unpack it into the DOOM 3 installation directory and select it from the MOD subscreen of the title screen. (You may want to apply the latest update to DOOM 3, though. Dunno, I don't install games again and again, I keep their rips, with the latest updated applied, in an archive.)

VERY NICE STUFF INDEED!!!

Slightly off the topic but this mod is another very good one to get.

Last Man Standing Coop Mod is a Doom 3 Coop Single Player and Multiplayer modification that aims to bring back the classic Doom experience.

You can play the original Doom3 maps, the ROE maps, Classic Doom and the LMS maps all in glorious co-op mode, makes for some fun with one or two friends.

(Time to move this to the General Gaming forum.)

Perhaps, the key to success is to update DOOM 3 to version 1.3, to have all extra features installed AND the copy protection (and thus the need for a no-CD patch) removed...?
