Am I allowed to use weapon sounds from other games and upload them?

As the title says already, I'm just curious really since I've made a sound replacer recently that mashes up the reload sounds from the DOOM 3 plasma rifle with the laser rifle/pistol and don't reaaaaaally know if I'm even allowed to upload it :ohmy: , even though it's a really small mod (4 sound files).

That would be a no, unless you got permission from the owners of game you took the sounds from.

in that case how come the nexus allows star wars themed mods like lightsabers, star trek phasers, bioshock power armor, and weapons carried over from other fallouts (and that's just off the top of my head) ?

Dont quote me on this but, I think there is some creative commons license that mods can fall under but generally the issue is with ripping something from one game/product and putting it into another game/product.

 

The Bioshock PA looks like a big daddy but its not an exact model copy and pasted from Bioshock into fallout, the modder spent a lot of time and effort remaking it for the Fallout universe.

There is a difference between taking/stealing from an other game and recreating something.

When i build a sand castle and you come over and drag it over to your side, thats stealing. When you look at mine and build your own, its fine.

ah ok, that makes sense. I would still be way afraid, 2k doesn't even let you monetize your videos of their games on adsense, I doubt they would take kindly if they saw it. maybe if he called it something different so there's not an obvious link. that's good to know though, if I had actual modding talent I think a really cool mod would be to make the Archons from XCOM as a companion. I would imagine it's possible since the game already supports floating companions (Codsworth, automatrons etc)
