OK, i'm going to start off with legal reasons first. When ID Software released Doom 1, they released its first episode, Knee Deep in the Dead, as shareware. Because it is shareware, any one is allowed to take any content from it. So what we are doing is 100% legal.
2nd thing on the list: This mod "being pointless." This mod is not pointless, its sole purpose is to bring back Doom 1 on the GoldSRC Engine, with new content based off Doom. People say that the source port, DoomsDay, seriously upgrades the look of Doom 1. This is true, but still looks like hell, and not everything is in its blocky uniqueness. Plus, its multiplayer is dead.
If there's anymore complaints about legal reasons, this being a pointless mod, etc, please write your complaint onto a piece of paper and throw it in a ditch, because neither I or my team give a flying s*&^
Then i will go "THIS IS SPARTA!!" on your a#$ (as shown in the preview picture)
I for one can not wait to see this mod...I think it's a great idea and hope to see it WID.
In fact, Doom I is Abandonware, you can do what you want with it as far as i know.

would making custom mappacks for this mod that are remakes of the other map chapters be legal?
100% legal, and we're planning on it
