So I've recently been playing Timeshift, an FPS released by a small company in 2007.

Whenever you open/close doors, certain sounds are played depending on the type of door. Big metal doors have the sounds you would expect, as do wooden doors.


Anyway, on certain doors I very audibly hear a sound identical to a door opening in Daggerfall. I couldn't describe it, and i have nothing to record it with. but I'm sure there are Let's Play's/vids that have the sound in them at some point.



Anyway, I was just wondering if it's legal for a game released in 2007 to have sounds copied from Daggerfall, with no altering as far as i can tell. If not I'd like to report it to Bethesda

It is something called Stock Sounds. It's sound samples free for anyone and everyone to use for anything they please

Yeah, there are some sounds that you can hear in a lot of different games. For example there's a screech I've heard in at least five or six games, although off the top of my head I can only attach it to the griffin in WarCraft 2 and one of the old Blake Stone games. Door sounds and similar background noises are often even more common.

Ah. ok then, someone can close this. I just wasnt sure if this was something like the Limbo of the Lost, which caused a big deal for stealing lots of resources from other games.

Ah yes, LotL was entertaining. Locked as requested.
