Open Sourcing the GOW Mutators **UPDATED**

I think we should make the source code for our mutators available on our website. Several reasons:

  1. We incorporate ideas and code from other open source mutators... it is only fair to return the favor. We'd be nowhere without the help of Epic and other mod developers.
  2. Most of the source code can be extracted from PC mutator files anyway... there's no real secrets in unrealscript.
  3. It helps to have the eyes of other developers on our code. It would be great to have someone take the orb and run with it!
  4. When people want this or that tweak it is easier to just say "here's the source, go for it".


**UPDATE**

I finally set up a public source code repository hosted at code.ut3gow.com. The repository uses the Fossil revision control system. I settled on Fossil mainly because I can host it myself but I also like many of its features including integrated web interface and wiki documentation. I began committing my code with the ONS2 code base. If you are interested in contributing, just hit me up.

As a proponent for Open Source, I say Kudos to your decision.   This can only benefit the entire community.

I agree as well. We have received help from many Mappers and other clans to get the content we have. We shoulf extend a helping hand to others. Aslong as they appreciate it. I also give +1 to Pacer a.k.a GOW_Enstein

Pacer, I think it was you that was playing VCTF vs some godlike bots with a new toy. I think you called it the Link Rifle? That thing was the cats ass. I lost my connection before I could find out more from you. That could easily be my favorite weapon. Cheers!

Let's time it with our Web-Site & Services Release on Epic/Search Engines etc...

I am planning on doing so before Sunday's practice.  Why don't we establish a meeting time for the two of us.  It's long overdue at this point anyway.  We'll only need 15-30 minutes to chat about that and a few other things.  Plus I need your input on a few items as well.  Let me know when you're free Paul.

P.S. Next to the Hoff, you got the best Avatar since you last updated it.  The Pacer - What a beast!!!!!

Ciao,

Duragesic

I don't plan to release PS3 versions. But anyone is welcome to cook PS3 versions. I know that Madness won't work well.
