razorace Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 The SDK was released after the patch so it's only for 1.01. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trog Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Could the jalinuxded source code be released? I am (of course) talking about the latest release of the game (1.01). The arguments for releasing it are that several issues concerning the server must be fixed/enhanced/customized. It is good to release the source, because then anyone can compile it under it's own system and architecture gaining an optimal binary file. Issues that we want to change are: - fixing console behaviour - fixing log messages - enhancing SMP - customizing some OS/environment data - and the most important - getting an optimal binary for our OS and arch. Of course we can submit to You our fixed/enhanced code. Please consider releasing jalinuxded src. Please respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ensiform Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 No it cannot. Releasing the engine has been asked many of times both Lucas and Raven say no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trog Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I don't understand why! ID Software have released their src for q3 and there are many of bug fixes applied by q3 community/players. Damn, we won't be selling the enhanced binaries. What are thay afraid of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ensiform Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 That is not the point, you have'nt been around the community long enough. Mr. Lucas is afraid people will steal his precious Star Wars content. Whether or not ID releases Q3 source has nothing to do with JKA. There is a big difference. JKA has many places they have to get permission to say they can release. One, LucasArts, Activision, Raven Software, and ID Software. Also, most of us fear they do not want to give out code for the ghoul2 and ik systems as well as icarus and many of the other closed stuff in the engine. You cant make a game off of a GPL'ed source and make people pay for it, it is against the license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorace Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 My impression is that its really just a legal issue like you said. The company doesn't want to spend the money to work out of the legal aspects of releasing the source code. That is of course their choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ensiform Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Well most of it is already out except the key changes to jka that can be hidden in a static library if they are afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trog Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 The facts are that the server have manny bugs, which require fixes and the game developers do nothing about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emiel Regis Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Yes, they are just bunch of wankers... Did you know that running a map with botrouting on a linux server leaks memory like a sieve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wudan Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 That is not the point, you have'nt been around the community long enough. Mr. Lucas is afraid people will steal his precious Star Wars content. Whether or not ID releases Q3 source has nothing to do with JKA. There is a big difference.

Also, most of us fear they do not want to give out code for the ghoul2 and ik systems as well as icarus and many of the other closed stuff in the engine. You cant make a game off of a GPL'ed source and make people pay for it, it is against the license. Ghoul2 is deliberately obscure in the JKA source, and the filetypes are not released with the JKA SDK. This is a pretty clear indication that Raven thinks Ghoul2 is something special, and something worth keeping to themselves. Lucas, from what I understand, sees free games and fan created content as a tribute to his great creation. However, when it's created by his employees, or under his direction, I think you can see where he doesn't want to give it away for free. I don't think JKA's ghoul2 system is anything to get huffy over, the IK, collision detection, and 'bolt-on' system are all inconsequential, and can be done using different methods, without shedding a tear over the fact that you don't have the JKA engine source code. I'm not sure why people would want Icarus, either, since, as I understand it, it is a proprietary scripting language that has caused way more headaches than it should have. People have asked me numerous times if a Quake3 engine project is going to (basically) emulate JKA, and frankly I don't see why anyone would want to. JKA's source is just filthy, and the gameplay was never quite up to spec. I've always had more fun seeing what different things I could do with the engine or the formats, which has been a pretty rewarding process. @ ensiform, the GPL doens't prohibit you from making money off of GPL software. It just means you must provide the source code upon request (and include a guide to requesting the source), or include it in your binary distribution. Carmack himself said in his QuakeCon keynote that he was disappointed there had not yet been a Quake3 GPL commercial game, which, when you think about it, is possible (and sanctioned by id.) Carmack even says its ridiculous how some development houses have paid the license fee just to keep the source for a few miniscule features to themselves. Here's a link with the top 10 misconceptions about the GPL: http://www.itmanagersjournal.com/article.pl?sid=06/08/21/1659203 It's a good read. Anyway, last word on the "raven won't release the source" topic. I think they don't have any reason to, and since this is a licensed title, the legal hoops to jump through are not worth the reward ... which is absolutely nothing.

ensiform Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I don't like icarus, I would most likely use something more like ET/RTCW's scripting system if I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorace Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 But on the other hand, that would involve a lot of porting to get the current scripts/maps to work on a new system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ensiform Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 and would work better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorace Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 With the amount of work involved, I suspect that we would be better off starting from scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
