FreeSpace Watch: FreeSpace 2 Source Code Released

Posted by IceFire:

Take a breath people, this is a very momentous and historic occasion for the FreeSpace community and for all FreeSpace fans. FreeSpace 2 Source Code has been released.

All of the countless changes, fixes, and modifications that we've all wanted to make to FreeSpace 2 are now possible. I am the last person to ask about the possibilities that this opens up for projects like The Babylon Project, but its definately a major event.

Download the source code here.

No doubt more on this later.

As far as I know, releasing the source code is a de facto agreement to modify the game engine and release it, but you cannot use it in a commercial setting (e.g. you cannot sell what you modify).

I'm not a copyright lawyer, though. So I'm not positive on the particulars.

FRED2 and FS2 error prevents me from loading. Could this be related? I've never seen this before.

To tell you the truth, Alikchi, I have no idea. I'm so glad I have that program which'll restore the old version after I screw up the source...

Don't post about compilation errors here, that is what the MODs forum is for. Thank you!

well i guess some people are going to be able to heavily modify the fs2 engine, like adding new features and the like.
