This is going into this patch anyways. Had that for ages now, just forgot about it.

He isn't joking. RA had this implemented in alpha builds for a few months now.

I'm sure you do know how, but TheKGBspy here is doing the nice thing. He's giving other people the ability to do it themselves, and not just proclaiming that he can do it for no apparent reason.

Want a cookie? Difference here is KGB will allow the public to use it.

And I don't know how that relates that to us having it for a while now.

Who cares if he gives it out? It's not as if you were going to give out Dragonade until xptek leaked it all over the Internet, then you suddenly had a "change of heart" and felt like releasing that "SSAOW" (AOW isn't even a fucking game mode, C&C Mode is all there is to the game beyond the CTF additions and some crappy deathmatch modifications) thing to the public to try to get people to focus on not using Dragonade...

May I ask why you brought Dragonade up? There is no need to change the subject.

Who cares you ask? Why, the other people who also enjoy modding this game. You're not the only ones out there who like to mod this game. Perhaps they would like to make a vehicle that can fire a rocket off of its top in their own little map or tc mod. Why shouldn't they get the chance to do that? What makes you and your mod so sacred to the point that it and only it can use these things? Being kind is a wonderful thing. You give a little, they make it into something better, which in turn you can benefit from. You'd be amazed at how far being kind can get you in life. I was enlightened.

Nobody said there's anything wrong with them working on that script.

There's nothing really in the dll that can be turned better due to the fact that almost everything is bound to the engine and can't be changed very much.

Not to mention that sharing the code would be like giving the gmax files of our models out. They (the things in the dll) are all unique features for RenAlert and will stay that way.

We are using a (selfmade) closed source scripts.dll due to the "RenAlert API" which adds new script commands which are located in the context of RenAlert.dll. And some of these can be used to crash stuff. And we don't want people running around crashing stuff, do we?

The current licence essentailly requires code distributed in the same dll file as code from the custom scripts.dll to be made Open Source.
Other code (such as that in bhs.dll or renalert.dll or the westwood code) can stay closed source.
So, RenAlert only needs to release the source code to their closed source scripts.dll if they are using stuff from my open source scripts.dll in it.
