Could I release this soundpack here?

By Revenant100 4 years ago

I have created a soundpack for Team Fortress 2 that I would like to release on FPSBanana. However, two issues are holding me back:

  1. The pack is 30 MB, and the max file size for sound uploads is 12 MB. Hence, with no workarounds it would require at least three separate parts, and I'm not sure if that's acceptable.
  2. I don't want to deal with people crying "IT'S A PORT! IT'S A PORT! ILLEGAL! USURPER!"
I'm obviously more concerned with the latter issue. However, although as justified as it may be, I feel there is far too much paranoia on the subject. Regardless, I'm not going to press the issue, so I'll leave the question to the more administrative members here: Could I release this soundpack on FPSBanana?

Note that I take no personal gain from releasing this on FPSBanana. I am not attempting to force this on anyone nor am I concerned with points or views or downloads or whatever. I merely want to share a creation that I believe the community would enjoy. If the answer is no, then so be it. I am more than willing to accept that. Hence, I'm leaving the judgment up to you all, namely with the moderators. Since this avoids the potential for conflict or argument in the future, I see no harm in posing the question this manner.

    If it contains content from a different game, no. (There are some exceptions, depends on what game it was ported from.)

    It's a nice idea, however I'm afraid that it is illegal here. You'll have to release it somewhere else where ports are allowed.

    Also, I bet that there are sounds missing like the capture or end-of-round sounds; it would be odd having the annauncer voice change.
