Dark Reign 2 Open Sourced
- kbok_ 14y agoI spoke with the repo's owner. It's actually a leak. Contribute at your own risk :)
- jonny_eh 14y agoSo why is Google still hosting it?
- acabal 14y agoNostalgia! I absolutely loved the soundtrack to this game.
- Auguste 14y agoDefinitely. The original CD-ROM version contained regular CD audio tracks, so it's easy to rip. It's been in my collection for years.
- aw3c2 14y ago2011. A leak as kbok_ mentions. SVN contains a copy of the full game. Copyright violation #2.
- Paul_S 14y agoThe upload has been made last year - what's the news?
- grogenaut 14y agoThey want multiplayer added. Is the thing even setup to handle multiplayer? Eg can the RNG's be synced? Are things determanistic? It looks like a RTS, are there fast rounds that you can sync on?
- heimidal 14y agoThe game already has multiplayer. The issue is that the servers were taken down years ago. I think their goal is to create a new server for the game.
- ChuckMcM 14y agoI enjoyed the original from the Studio in Australia, wish they could open source that engine.
- cicloid 14y agoThis should be the final destination of abandonware. Becoming open source and nurturing the next generation of game developers.
- megrimlock 14y agoId Software has been an inspiring example here, open-sourcing several historically significant game engines. https://github.com/id-Software/ https://github.com/id-Software/ However, they typically don't include the full game data; you have to use them with data from the free trial versions or contributed by the public mod community (something else Id really helped foster). Does anyone know if this is necessary for them to retain rights to the IP?
- sodelate 14y agomaybe i should find new direction in programming
- synchronise 14y agoIf there are legal issues with this code, would it be possible to remove the proprietary parts but still keep the game hosted under the LGPL?
