Is the source code publicly available?

Yay, thank you very much sir
Now let's see what's inside this thing ...

A lot of butt ugly code from last minute bug fixing that's what If I planned to ever do a FS2 game again I sure as hell wouldn't use this code in its current form. But ah well, if yo find anything useful...

Thanks a lot.

Thanks very much for releasing the source code.

Yeah back during development things had to go fast and since it was unlikely anybody would do a translation anytime soon after release we ditched full localization support and just made sure everything was alright. The GUI is way too hardcoded in this game anyway, nobody does it like that nowadays. The age of the engine kinda shows there.

Just for everbody's information. The incredible bullshit going on at HardLight right now is exactly why I didn't bother much making the source release a priority. I knew exactly nobody would do anything worthwile with it and just rip our work aopart with "I know everything better" attitude. So yeah. Right now I wish i hadn't released it.

Nobody (except MAYBE the translation project) will release anything of quality based on it and it just gives alot of people material to troll a projet that they couldn't have pulled of if I gave them 2 million budget to do it. So yeah. To evrybody at hardlight: Kiss my hairy butt and go to hell.

Actually I do plan to port the SEXPs, flags and table options as soon as I get some actual spare time (I did have the time to find a heartfelt message to Goober regarding some dirty, dirty hack at one point ). I seem to remember that you also tweaked FRED's default settings (for instance, ship automatically recieving a bunch of flags on creation). I suspect that this is hard-coded, so I'd like to be able to put that into a table (probably game_settings.tbl). Other tweaks, such as optimisation, anything render-related and cross-platform stuff would be out of my league though. I haven't had time to look at the hud and related script code, but given all the changes FSO has received in this area over the past couple of years, it's probably going to be a pain to get it to work.

I am bit curious as to what you call "incredible bullshit" though, is it the fact that some coders stated that they were unimpressed with what had been added to the engine, or that no one has taken the time to do something with it yet? Or something else? For the record I am a bit bummed that the release got as little attention as it did.

I generally mean the asshole attitude over there.
