Hi,
The following are icons taken from the NEXTSTEP version of Doom 1.2.  Doom is a really fantastic VR-style wanton-destruction type shareware game that appeals to the violent American in all of us, and is well worth the US$40 price for the registered version.  I completed the 3 levels of my registered copy with only a moderate amount of cheating.

All these images belong to ID Software, and were taken from the shareware version of the game.  For more information about purchasing Doom for your MS-DOS or NEXTSTEP computer, send e-mail to info@idsoftware.com.
Enjoy,
Tim

Reply-To: treed@gun.com

I recently posted some icons extracted from the Doom VR game for NEXTSTEP and  
DOS.  David Taylor from ID said that his company doesn't mind floating  
Doom-derived artwork, but don't want images and sounds taken from their work  
to be used in commercial products.  Sounds reasonable, so:

Do not use the Doom icons or any other work done by someone else in your  
commercial product without checking with the author to make sure that the  
artwork is in the public domain.  If you can't figure out who the author or a  
particular icon is (the name and e-mail address of the original author or  
poster is included with most every icon in the next-icon@gun.com archives)  
then your best bet is to not use the icon in your commercial product at all.

No one from ID or anywhere else came down on me in any way; it's just that  
common sense kicked in after I hit the Deliver button on my "Doom icons..."  
post.

Later,
Tim

Here are a couple of DOOM icons.

Demon
Baron of Hell
Lost Soul
Cacodemon

I created these icons by running DOOM on NEXTSTEP then running IconMaker
and grabbing the screens then importing and scaling the image.  There is a
BETA TEST copy of IconMaker on the archieves, cs.orst.edu:/pub/next/submissions.

Here are a few more icons from Doom, the amazing virtual reality game from Id Software.  Okay, so I'm putting in a little plug because these images might be copyrighted ... just bear in mind that you probably don't want to include any of these images in a commerical application.

I used a DOS Doom utility called dmgraph to extract the images from the game and produce .gif files.  ImageViewer then provided the necessary filter so that WetPaint could read the files ... it was then just a matter of a little scaling and adding in the 0% opaque backgrounds.  I also added a fireball to the Imp.

I'll be doing a few more soon ... unless Id's lawyers give me a call.
