So if someone is looking for information on a specific feature / bug fix then can always ask on the forum. Most of features, development details are anyway shared public on, example:
So if someone really cares, or wants to use the Launcher for some other things - I'm open minded, but I won't give it for free to everyone. If there's someone interested in viewing the source code, I am able to "share it" for a huge donation (talking about thousands of dollars). So why should I give them thousands of hours of my work for free?
I have read some messages from "angry" players how they would make things better themselves. There are not only nice people in the World, but also these who could steal, monetize or do other harmful things with it, which would demotivate me completely from the further development. It would be stupid to share how the whole communication with the server looks like and then hope that "bad people" won't use it.īesides that, it's a few years of my work. The Launcher is also connecting with EE2.eu Multiplayer services, contains players protection functions, unique authorization and banning system which sometimes might be very needed in order to protect our "little" server performance and stability. Sharing the source code would reveal which (unique) method was used, and possibly break their rules. Recently, files encryption was added in order to protect purchased audio files for ambient sounds. Not so many, but that could be a reason for takedown by copyright hunters. I am not even sure what sites I copied some functions from.
Obviously it could be rewritten, since I started it when I was 14, but that would be an extreme waste of time. The Launcher itself is over 70 000 lines of the code. If you're talking about the source code of the Launcher, DLLs, etc. I'm not sure which part of the code you're talking about, because the modding-part is accessible by exploring the game files. better issue tracking.Īlso there is some sponsorship options on GitHub AFAIK. I suppose opening/moving code to GitHub will bring a lot of positive contributions as well as maintenance benefits e.g. Lagncheese: want to say huge thanks for all the time and efforts!
