Legality Question

Hey Guys,

From what I have learnt to fix the Thing Clipping Issue I need to put the sprites in my WAD and raise the Y offset. However would it be legal for me to copy ID Softwares sprites into my WAD? If I did so, the WAD would still be unplayable without the original IWAD, but still...?

The Doom user license does allow you to distribute modified assets as long as it's non-commercial and exclusively for use with Doom.

So, yeah, it's fine.

If by modified assets you are referring to the WAD as a whole. I know. However if you are referring to the sprites, well then it isn't really modified... its just raising the Y offset. Still the same.

Asset = sound or music or graphic or level or whatever else.

Modified sprites? That's modified assets. Modified sounds? Same. Changing one thing, even if it's just the offset, is still modifying it.

The "wad as a whole" would never be okay since it could be used without the game.

You don't need to. You can do it but you can also change sprite clipping to "always" in the options menu.
