Get TS Open Sourced

Clazzy · Posted: Tue May 31, 2005 2:23 pm Post subject: Get TS Open Sourced

Regardless of whether or not you're a C&C fan, please sign it for the good of the community:
http://www.petitiononline.com/opentsun/petition.html

An open-source C&C game would be a brilliant leap forward for the community, as you all know. That would boost the TS community incredibly, even after 6 years of its release, as mods will have who new options available to them and all the previous barriers and limits would just evaporate. Tell everyone you know to sign it and sign it yourself!

I've posted a news about it in TumSun, but I personally think that this petition will receive the same answer than all other petitions that were sent to Westwood and EALA: a refusal.

Did I?

If I did, I don't remember anymore... I don't think I moved this topic anywhere... O.o

Can I move it back to front page news, please?

Clazzy, I wouldn't recommend.

It may not work, but I don't want to see the best chance we have of getting our voice heard by EA going down the drain so sign the petition and tell everyone you know to sign it!

If you are trying to convince people to sign it, why you already putting this kind of observation? It's better to omit it...

Perhaps because it's the honest truth. When was the last time EA listened to a petition of any form?

That would be the best explanation for this.

There is already one open source C&C project. It is quite a ways along. It is at freecnc-sf.holarse.net/

It doesn't work, though. At least not for me, anyway. I tried to compile but it didn't work.

Whatever happens, it is most definetly worth a shot. Now everyone stop being so pessimistic, OPTIMISM is the key. And Banshee, get that godamned button on the frontpage man!! Jesus, your meant to be communitymeister Banshee are you not, yet you seem the least.. enthusiastic of all, get that button up like Dvd has at TumSun, DO IT!!!

If it depends on me, I wouldn't even leave this news in the frontpage to be honest... This is against the policies of EA, so we are asking for something impossible... Now, if we made them a petition to hire a trainee to patch old C&C games like Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2, maybe it would be more possible to have positive results, since it wouldn't leak the source code.

Anyway, we have 130 signatures so far. This is far from convince anyone at EA to do something.

i think even if thay end up not giving the code out, thay should take to note that we are trying and how may people are interested in modding Tiberian Sun, and at least give use something that will improve modding possibliltys, say more tags or help from a EA/WW ( if there are any left ) employe, i think that they at least should give us something good after what thay did to TS.

Them? Pay us? For making a crappy game?

Are you really that crazy?
