Good idea?[ 63 votes ]
1. Yes 37 / 59%
2. No 10 / 16%
3. Would be if we had a cool coder on the scene 6 / 10%
4. Would be if we didn't have such asshat cheat makers around 10 / 16%

Word on the renegade under ground streets says that the source code is being release to the public soon.
Whether it is or not I don't know, but if it was going to be released, do you think it's a good idea?

I think it would be the last nail in the coffin for the game and all mods based on it. I mean we don't really have a dedicated really good community coder here. Whilst some are pretty awesome, they are not always that active...
And unfortunately we all know it is easier to make cheats then to stop them. I think the release of the source code would compound the problem.

What do you think?

well, it will have its upsides and downsides
a positive is we can finally get into the nitty gritty of the source and actually get some interesting shit done
a negative is like you said, the cheats.
so, I think it might be worth it, so i voted yes.

I have a Question, what can you exactly do with the Source Code,
Modding Groups like APB, APOC and Reborn already have theyr scripts
what they need.

Despite the negatives, wouldn't Crimson be able to pull some chains here and there to get some coders together?

Is it at all possible that the source code be released ONLY to the highest level of persons within the Renegade community (BHS)?

She can't ban people from the game, I think, only from XWIS.

0x90 has never logged into XWIS, and doesn't even play Renegade, so what good is "banning" him going to do other than make him angry and release a new cheat version?

IMO a "public" release of the source code would be a mess, as the only people who know what do do with source code are either already in a project group, or are cheat-creators.

A public release of the source code without access to the auto-update servers would mean that after awhile there would be umpteen different versions of renegade servers and clients all over the place, not to mention would pretty much nullify RenGuards effect, as it wouldn't work on custom versions.

I'd like to know who these "underground" folks are who are spreading this rumor, as I have not heard anything of this, and I have my ear fairly close to the ground for things like this.

I would say it would be a good idea to release it but only to the people that know what the hell they are doing and the people that do not make cheats.

just fix or update RG and many of the current problems are solved, better yet, force players to run scripts 3.*
make an auto update so nexttime someone logs into wol their game gets updated, then its bye bye R..H

Shouldn't force people to download unofficial things like the Scripts.

They should be official cause people that don't use it get some advantages the ones that use it don't, and it would really have to detect some of their system specs cause old computers can't handle above 2.9.

It's only good if it's released to trusted and selected people, aka Crimson, reborn, Blazer...blah blah blah.

I've been hearing a lot of things about this potential Source Code release, if it's real, the Ren community should come together (all the talented scripters, people with knowledge of the engine) and come up with a way to use it to really improve the game.

Renegade 2, anyone? Really, the engine isn't TERRIBLE, it's just got some glitches. It'd be nice if it had some more things like better vehicle physics and whatnot, though.

The source code though should yeah, only be given to a select few people. It would be pretty helpful to TC mods out there, though.

As said above, if the code was released, would there be any point if we didn't have access to the servers to update the client?

I would love to have it for a other reason, burn the source to a golden DVD and then stick it in a frame. In Love

I think Stealteye managed to solve blue hell. Or at least partially. Now that u mention it, it's been an eternity since I went into blue hell. I wonder if he made a serevr side patch...

Anyway, I voted for the last option. IMO access to the auto update servers would be way more important. Giving out the source code would help change things client side and the one saying client side says cheats, unless you can use the knowledge to update the client.
