Guest Posted July 1, 2003 Posted July 1, 2003 The advantage to having a team working on a project is having a hierarchy of designers who are engineering the software. However, this project is huge - perhaps the idea of going open source isn't so bad? Open source does not mean rampant binaries of the same thing floating around, you can manage what goes into the official MTA release and what doesn't, while affording programmers all over the opportunity to build the system.. you should give it some real consideration.
Warlord Archon Posted July 1, 2003 Posted July 1, 2003 This has been discussed before and they decided not to release a source. Problably never. There really is no need to because if they do, a million mods might pop up with little adjustments and then all you have is a bunch of little children yelling "Mine's better!!!"
xerox Posted July 1, 2003 Posted July 1, 2003 the source may be released in the VERY far away future, but vurrently, the group want the game closed.
me Posted July 1, 2003 Posted July 1, 2003 that's probably a good idea, since it will allow them to make a good base for MP. Otherwise there would be many very different methods for MP
Sintax Posted July 2, 2003 Posted July 2, 2003 I used to think the same thing at one time, but it's not really worth it for a project like this. It would expose far too many vulnerabilities in our software, and any one with the source will only try to make another MP mod anyway.
Keva Posted July 2, 2003 Posted July 2, 2003 god is this still being discussed??? i guess things never change
Mr.Bill Posted July 2, 2003 Posted July 2, 2003 yeah I guess its about time :idea:01010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101:idea:
