Does anyone have the source to the FDS?
Thier is a flood exploit that is able to knock servers... It would take more than some hacks to fix this problem...

I think its a legitimate question, even if the answers no.

From conversations I have had I got the impression that BHS got a copy of the RenRem source.

PS Im sure if you payed EA enough money they would sell you the rights to Renegade its only a question of how much.

BHS does not have the source code to RenRem, rather we wrote code which does the same thing.

The FDS is compiled from the exact same source code as the retail game, having the source code to the FDS would mean having the source code to Renegade itself.

And, EA would not sell the souce code no matter how much money was involved, as it would open them up to a multitude of legal issues.

no matter how much money was involved


I am afraid it is ridiculous to say “No matter how much money�.

Clearly if an extremely wealthy entity wanted to they could simply buy EA (it’s a publicly traded company). At that point they would own all of EA’s intellectual property.


Additionally at a more sensible level its only money, businesses exist to make money, if EA thought it was in their interests to sell the source for Renegade (i.e. they got a big enough check) they would.

Additionally what legal issues are you talking about, the only cases I can think of is if they purchased rights from a third party or worse stole code from someone.

In either case enough money would solve both problems (read: payoff).

Split hairs all you want, but EA will not be selling the source code. Yes you could probably buy the entire company (good luck) at which point you would then "own" the source code, but I doubt that is going to happen. Back to my origional statement...nobody has the FDS source code, as it is the exact same codetree as the retail game. Run game.exe with the switch "nodx", there's the FDS.
