До вас это только дошло?)))

Да я наивно пытаюсь топикстартеру это донести ... Хотя уже исчезли доказательства того, что он именно это пытался делать.

Oh my it's sooo pleasant to speak one's native language, really ... Which means my english is still pretty bad (:

MaNGusT, в каком смысле очередной бред, мы что то ещё делали ? Умейте правильно выражать свою мысль.

Really? I wouldn't have guessed that you weren't a native English speaker before you starting writing all those funny letters...

Спасибо, не заметил. Ну тогда вышесказанное подтверждается. Эх.

I started it a bit earlier

Anyway, the fact is, no matter how it seems, it's still much more painful to me to write in english, and i can't really get close to the expression power i have with russian. On the other hand, the good thing is i can't get angry in english

Well, never mind, i say such things from time to time, you'll get used to it (:

I don't know why everybody so negative about this warzone "conversion" to new Engine.
As I've understood Magvest wants to make a some-kind of remake using UDK. I think its good that somebody actually is trying to do something about.

If you have a new engine, fine, you can put links up to the source code, but any build that allows cheating with our builds, is not allowed.

Who said something about cheating ? I hardly dout that WZ2100 UDK will be supporting current version, It justa remake. Or what kind of cheating you talking about ?

Why so negative ? if dudes wants to make a new game with old concept ? why not ? he is just asking for help. its not the reason to be rude.

His youtube channel seems to contain some videos about cheating in Warzone, maybe that lead to some confusion.

.

Terminator makes some valid points.

MagvesT: You may be interested in the effort by Member Seismo here:

viewtopic.php?f=32&t=4507&p=79680#p79680

The approach by that effort makes integrating a new engine as feasible as it's gonna get and you may find you have much in common with Member Seismo's goals....

Oh, may be. But I can insure that cheating videos & this "remake" isn't connected in anyway.

Let's see, the OP has cheating vids for our version, but then says 'We do NOT allow any sites that make it easier to cheat in Warzone.'
What is wrong with that picture ?

Anyway, using Unreal development kit, is asking for trouble in the legal department, as that is a commercial engine, and there isn't a way to release the source code of that engine itself.

From what I understand / have been told, you are not allowed to mix our codebase with UDK or Unity, or any other closed source non GPL engine *if* you plan to release it to the public. That would be a violation of the GPL.

If it is private use, then, of course, it is OK.

If you would start out with the original source release, and use the GPL exception, then, AFAIK, you can release that version to the public, as long as you don't mix in any of our GPL code in your codebase, and you must release the source code changes as well.


I think that about covers it.

Oh, as for a engine that wouldn't violate...

The original warzone code has the following exemption:

In addition, as a special exception, the copyright holders of Warzone 2100 give you permission to combine Warzone 2100 with code included in the standard release of libraries that are accessible, redistributable and linkable free of charge. You may copy and distribute such a system following the terms of the GNU GPL for Warzone 2100 and the licenses of the other code concerned.

I generally take that to mean that anyone must be able to acquire their own copy at anytime without having to pay for it and must (at the very least) be able to give an unaltered copy to anyone else and that they must then also be able to use said copy.

It goes on to note that people do not have to pass this exception on if they do not wish to do so; because this exception was not in the original code release, we do not pass it on.

On the matter of private use this is nearly impossible to do; it would require that the code you have modified (or the binaries produced from that code) never resided on any media that was not solely under your exclusive control at any time.

All that said, I am not a lawyer and those are only my personal opinions; if you really want to know what you can and cannot do ask a lawyer that knows the GPL.

Like many politicians ... I only ask your help to help me.

The diff here being that even unsuccessful politicians are shrewd enough to carefully acknowledge thems that lent a helping hand.
