Posts from Do we get the source files?

After studying Quantomas' official blog, I found the following:

For those who didn't understand, he had the source code for version 3.0, and Quantomas made the changes from patch 3.1 himself. He didn't manage to finish everything, which is a pity. Script functions are really needed... =(

And yes, I tried to inject um.dll, in the faint hope that the scripts would work... But they didn't. Yes, the hope was faint :D

Regarding EE, I want to note that in EE, the AI's behavior is finely tuned, which cannot be achieved simply by increasing the stacks (those sliders in the game's starting interface).

Also, in EE, the process of handling the AI's turn has been significantly reworked, much more than just changing the bytes allocated for the stacks of whatever. The AI process is generally moved into a separate injected executable (correct me if I'm not describing the technology accurately, but that's what the author said). However, I'm curious what will happen if the stacks are increased; will it give any result at all?

I want to see EE with full support for script functions from 3.1 as much as you do, but without Quantomas, or rather, without the source code, it's practically impossible. It's hard to believe in miracles.

By the way, I found this: ARMG for H5.5.

You're probably right about everything here. I messed up badly. I was comparing the MMH55_Utility file because I initially worked on it to fix the NCF generation. But I should have compared it to the main game file. I'm doing a new comparison now. I'll tell you the results soon. Do you think he really had the source code for 3.0? I would give a lot for it

As I heard, he was forbidden from distributing the source code. After all, the previous rumor about the existence of the source code turned out to be true, and if this one is also true, that's a shame. Maybe it will still be possible to get them. I really hope so.

He did have the source code. His file is completely different. It was even compiled with a different environment. That's crazy. Let's maybe organize ourselves and offer a price. We can sign a non-disclosure agreement. He's just incredibly lucky. Or at least let's find out from whom he stole them.

Especially considering how much time has passed. Two parts have been released. The code is gradually becoming obsolete. Does anyone know how to get in touch? Perhaps through magnomagus?

What environment are we talking about?

Is this even possible? Who can we ask?

Most likely, back in October 2008, after the release of Tribes of the East, one of the developers, out of friendship, passed on the source code to him (a generous Russian soul), and he quickly took advantage of it. But it's also possible that he was part of the project himself.

Quantomas has not been active on HC in years; he is busy working on the 'Heroes of Ancient Order' indie project, and if you want to contact him, I recommend trying on CH, where he is still seen sometimes.

Does anyone know what CH is?

No idea, but the build process is different; you can tell by the hex code.

So, someone who knows English well will definitely be able to find something out.

You can start, and I'm also ready to write if needed.

It's best to come as a group. Write to us, representing an entire community of interested people (but not in a commercial way 😉)!

Well, I'm actually thinking that for him, a community means just leaking it online. And I wouldn't mind getting paid. Although, judging by his blog, he has a decent financial scope. To develop EE without distractions, he asked for 25,000 euros.

I promised him that I would sign an NDA. So, we'll wait for his answer.

It's unlikely we'll be able to raise that much money right now. So, we need to motivate him with something else. Does he understand Russian?

Referring to the NDA in this case is pointless because the publisher allows everything that is not for commercial purposes to be used! The problem is that he might refuse to share what he "looted," and something tells me that if the source code was leaked to him, it wasn't leaked by the guys from Nival, but rather by someone from another well-known "company"! :smile25:

In the word motivate, is it definitely not "a"? :smile42:
