According to John Carmacks QuakeCon keynote the full ET source should be on the id ftp server now!

After having a very quick look through the code, it’d be impossible to create a port for XBLA or PSN wouldn’t it?!

(reaply) #8

I just came. OMG. This is such good news! THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!!

What ? Where ? who ? How ? …

a thing people have been asking since the very beginning of mankind, the sourcecode of ET, is released just like that ?
No fancy talkish postings ?

I have my doubts , but I hope I’m wrong

Hmmmmmmm.

Guess this means I might need to dust off my skillz and permanently fix the bugs in the stock maps…if we’re already going to be doing some patches…

You don’t trust the direct link to official Id FTP?
You can’t search the source from yourself on the web?
Duh.

<3 id for continuing to give back to the community. Open source engine + freely available assets has some interesting potential.

http://www.iowolfet.org/
http://www.iortcw.org/

Both aren’t exactly up yet, but coming sooner rather than later.

Thanks id for sharing the source.
So it seems that W:ET is finally free software.
Engine and client source and also the map sources are freely available.

Edit:

Haven’t thought about the textures, sound and models.

I dont know the link to official Id FTP.

Yes, and viagra online, and nuke bombs, and “enlarge your pennis in 10 days, 100% guaranteed”.

So no, I dont trust the web. I dont trust invisible people, avatars or characters. I only know a character said source was published and another character posted a link. Thats all.

Maybe Im the only one who is suspicius when I see no official news about this. Call me freak.

Well, if you had followed the keynote at qcon you’d have seen Carmack say that ET is open source. “Official” source enough for you?
