**Short description from the original Sikkmod 1.2 README:**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sikkmod is a general enhancement mod for id Software's 2004 FPS: Doom 3. Its main
|
|
|
|
|
purposes are to update visuals of Doom 3 to a more modern level and to allow the user
|
|
|
|
|
to customize various aspects of the game to suit their preferred styles all while
|
|
|
|
|
maintaining the core mechanics and aesthetics originally put in by id Software.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The mod also includes a number of fixes to and better organization of stock files in order
|
|
|
|
|
to create a clean and more stable base for future mods.

This is a dhewm3 port of Sikkmod v1.2 for the base game and v1.1 for Resurrection of Evil (d3xp;
|
|
|
|
|
apparently there was no Sikkmod v1.2 for Resurrection of Evil).

## License
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
For a long time it was unclear whether the Sikkmod C++ source could be released under GPL, because
|
|
|
|
|
Sikkpin disappeared from the scene many years ago and I wasn't able to contact him to ask for permission.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Luckily it turned out that *eezstreet* **did** ask him for permission back in 2011, soon after the
|
|
|
|
|
Doom3 source code was released under GPL, see https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/issues/120#issuecomment-1555662168

I'll quote the mail exchange here:

So the C++ source code (found here) and the shaders may be used under GPL, but the game data can't.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, Sikkpin would apparently prefer if his work wasn't used in commercial products (even
|
|
|
|
|
though the GPL allows that), so please be nice and respect his wish :-)
