Question about using IWD:EE files in BG:EE

So my question is quite simple... is it alright (acceptable) to use IWD:EE modified files (for example areas' tis files or Hrothgar's sound files that have been cut into pieces in a BG:EE mod) or have I just spent a lot of time for nothing?

    You don't want to use anything that will reference something that is not in the game. Sound files should, I believe, be perfectly fine. I haven't worked with area files, but I understand that they run scripts. You don't want any script using a trigger or action that is iwdee exclusive. I don't think it'll crash the game, though. I think they just won't run. But beware any spells or items that use iwdee specific opcodes. That will crash your game

    Naa I just meant tis files (the image files for areas). I am using IWD area pictures to build new areas (photoshop).

    Speaking to your question about using IWD:EE art in BG:EE mods, because they're both from games that Beamdog produced, we're okay with you using files and assets from either game in mods for the other.

    (Just don't, you know, include icewind.exe in your mod ;) )

    Okey good to know that infinity engine game materials are "fair game" since that's the only resource I have been using :) well except own models.

    and whaaat?! why shouldn't I include icewind.exe in bg:ee mod? :P (why isn't there ever a smiley for sarcasm) :D
