Hi Philip, Well...That too is the classic catch 22. According to the License Agreement that came with Mysteries of the Sith, I just reread it, it says you can freely create mods for the game but under no circomstances can you use the sounds, musick, or graphics from this game. Question is what's the frickin' point of creating your own Star Wars mod if you have to create your own blaster sounds, Star Wars music, and draw your own graphics?
Once again, that's the entire problem with the whole copyright issue for me. Yeah, I could probably could come up with lame sounds for the light sabers, blasters, stuff like that but if it doesn't sound like the official Star Wars sounds I'm not going to bother creating the game. It is not Star Wars unless a light saber sounds like a light saber and a blaster sounds like a blaster. Although, I am a musician I'm nowhere in John Williams class so I can't even begin to create music as inspiring and grand as the Star Wars music. If I go through all that work with new sounds, music, I might as well call it Space Wars. Grin. Cheers!
