"Bad guys screaming with a Wilhelm Scream is a Tradition" Mod!

Recommended Posts

I request that the death scream for Imperial troopers be converted to the Wilhelm scream, to combat Disney's disposal! Who is with me!

By "Imperial troopers" you mean Sith Troopers right? I think a mod did just this a while back but it does it for the Mandalorians instead.

Yes. Sith troopers. And I feel it fits better since Sith troopers = Stormtroopers.

Yes, but we the viewers don't know that. For all I know you could have been referring to Jed Academy or some other game.

 

I'm not actually sure if a Wilhelm scream mod could be made due to copyright reasons. Though just to make myself useful, here is a link to a mod that converts the Sith Troopers into Storm Troopers just in case you didn't know about this one- https://www.nexusmods.com/kotor/mods/156

Sorry. Wasn't trying to be unclear. I appreciate the link, but I don't download mods like that since they break the lore. I was just hoping to keep the Wilhelm scream alive in KotOR.

The legal status of the Wilhelm Scream is kind of murky. Strictly speaking, it falls under the ownership of Warner Bros. However, people tend to treat it like it is in the public domain. WB would likely face an uphill battle trying to exert their rights in court given that they have failed to challenge its prior (apparently unauthorised) use in over 300 films and other media, nor have they (as far as I can tell) previously derived any royalties from it or issued licenses for its use. I seriously doubt releasing a mod making use of it would summon a swarm of WB attack lawyers, but there's always a first time.

 

That said, the average KOTOR mod is probably far more infringing on copyrighted material. If Deadly Stream is not afraid of Disney's lawyers (and they are frankly much more scary), then it shouldn't be too concerned about a Wilhelm Scream mod. But that's for the admins to decide.

I totally get that - however I don't understand how including the Wilhelm scream for sith trooper deaths doesn't also break lore

It would be a shame if someone was to grab the sound from the video below somehow, convert it to an MP3, save it as "N_SITHSOLDR_DEAD", then place that MP3 in the Override folder.



Yep. That would be truly shameful.

Woe is the person that owns that video, BTW. He'll have to answer to the WB!  (On a serious note, be sure to check out the video description on YouTube.)

Thank you Sith Holocron. It truly would be such a terrible situation if someone were to do that.

 

P.S.: How did the title of my post change?

Who me? I just found that video from the guy that put it on my channel. I'm siccing the WB on him!

 

I changed the title to something more clear. "Tradition mod" doesn't give a lot of detail - especially as there is no tradition of Wilhelm scream being in the games.

I'm not certain about 'tradition' as far as the games are concerned, but it is used in several Star Wars games according to Wookiepedia.

The one that makes Atton, Male Twil'ek, and Mandalorians death scream the Wilhelm Yell?

Yeah.
