Why can't get us the source code Freelancer?

I understand that this is probably the wrong way to go, but since I don't know any other way, so this seems the best solution currently.

Freelancer is a 2003 game who appreciated the merits of a hosted Microsoft 'global server' for many years. This support has been removed for more than a year, have been longer. Since then, she has in fact the players, or the community of developers, which has instead created a way not no need for this global server, while keeping the same features in the game.

Currently there is a community of developers very involved in the game, even with it's player-base down. However, while much can be done as it is, many changes to the game requires things such as to modify the main .exe of the game, goes against the General conditions and so possibly illegal. However, Microsoft has not taken action against such a thing. The only real penalty the Freelancer community met in his history of editing has been a debacle involving a modification on the Halo theme.

So while Microsoft has essentially removed the bulk of its support for the game, he also did nothing to stop his change, something that many are grateful.

Ultimately, however, there are many parts of the game that most wish could be changed, but can never be the nature 'hard-coded' of such a thing, where the key to change he is locked up somewhere that we either do not have the knowledge and the ability to get to.

There has been a lot of requests for the Source Code of Freelancer, but none have materialized. I understand that this is due to a policy that it does not give the source of his games or that the questions should be directed to the developer instead maybe Microsoft. The latter is impossible because the developer was bought by Microsoft, and subsequently dissolved.

Ultimately the question I would ask is:

What are the reasons for not releasing the source code of Freelancer, when he happened to so many other games such as Freespace 2?

Linkus, your name looks familiar discovery gaming community (http://www.discoverygc.com)

... I must comment on your closing above statement...:

"The end is the question I want to ask: .

What are the reasons for not releasing the source code of Freelancer, when he happened to so many other games such as Freespace 2? »

This is incorrect, as Freespace 2 has * nothing * to do with Microsoft, it was developed by Volition, Inc. and published by Interplay.

These companies are not divisions of Microsoft.

A better final statement would be asked about their release the Source codes of the franchisees Mech Commander, MechWarrior and Mech assault.

The Battletech Franchise was a substantially larger intellectual property; and yet, they released their grip on it.

(Although FASA / Weisman have reformed as Smith and Tinker, teaming with Piranha to do a full restart of the MechWarrior series, apparently the first deadline this year.)

Who would actually have weight in an argument as to why they won't leave a much smaller intellectual property to the modding community.

    Hey aramkim80,

    I see from your post that you are not able to enter the country code for the South Korea when setting up for your Apple ID security two-step verification of your Apple ID as much as possible is always a good thing, so I understand your concern.

    Take a look at this article: frequently asked questions about two steps checking of Apple ID. This article presents a list of countries is available in two-step verification. I do not see the Korea of the South on the list of countries currently supported, it's why you're not able to do this.

    Hope that answered this question for you.

    See you soon.

  • Get the source code of a procedure for a huge package in oracle

    I have a package which, as methods of 40-50 in them, I would like to retrieve the source of one inside the package. is there a table where I can get this detail in the oracle database.


    I know there is an all_source table, which has the entire source code, but I want to only get the source code for a particular procedure.

    Thanks in advance.

    You have defined your procedure as provided

    procedure procedure_name...
    ...
    end procedure_name;
    

    and the procedure is not overloaded, you can try something as

    with
    first_line as
    (select line
       from all_source
      where instr(lower(text),'procedure '||lower(:procedure_name)) > 0
        and name = :package_name
        and type = 'PACKAGE BODY'
        and owner = :package_owner

  • Where can I see the source code for the controller

    Hi all

    My question is maybe stupid to some gurus of the ADF, but many people have found that R12 Pages have a lot of code and there is not too much documentation on how to customize a controller.

    1. I see the *.class of my controller in the $JAVA_TOP/oracle/apps/ar/cusstd/createcus/webui/ArCreCusCO.class on my server, BUT I don't see that any of the encrypted code when I open up JDeveloper. So I guess I'm doing it wrong.

    2. I want to change ArCreCusCO.class. I see a lot of people say Hey I've customized XYZ controller, but how they found the code and continue to change it is the least of my headaches

    3. do I need to configure something in JDeveloper so I can see Server classes to my JDeveloper - what they do, if so, how you do?

    4. I saw something in the help page saying adding components to the Extension of the OA the devil what?

    Thanks to illuminate some beginners in the ADF.

    With the new philosophy of Java, some of those 12 developers experience that we are not starting from zero because of this new architecture.

    Hector. -.

    p.s. any entry will be taken, but do not refer to the Oracle tutorial, is an example of cake I need some practical examples ;-)

    Hi hbono99

    (1.) you can .class c above java, which is the compiled code as source code is not provided by oracle, if you need this file '.class' to see the source code for decompile, JAD decompiler 1.5.8 version will be newer .well, it would be useful to see the source code, but sometimes decompiled class create problems when trying to compile again.

    2.), you can make changes in the ArCreCusCO.class after that decompilation and compile the same thing again to generate the class file, bcz you can put only class file on the server, BUT that would be fatal to change the standard class and the concept here to come of the Extension in the image, you need to extend this class. «XYZ custom "means the extesión of the class parent and make the extension u don't need not the source.»

    3.) u cannot see the source code of a .class in Jdeveloper, there is no such a parameter.

    (4.) to extend the need to ArCreCusCO.class you to create a workspace followed by creating a project in the workspace Jdeveloper
    process to extend the class

    a.) create workspace and project
    (b) create the same package in which resides the ArCreCusCO.class under the \jdev\myprojects\ in your Jdeveloper
    (c.) right click on the project, go to create the new class, here you will find the option to metion the package where you want to put the superior (normal package starts with a xx.oracle.-) the possibility of mentioning the nmae classs that you want to extend
    (d.) click ok at the end, you will get your extended class

    e.) source code usually has two methods ProcessFormRequest and processRequest, you can add the code according to the requirement.

    extension works bcz inside the method she calls super, so all first it runs all the methods of the parent class in your case ArCreCusCO.class and then control comes in extended class, now, your code will be run, which will be accomliseh your condition

    f.) tranaser the class file file expanded to the server, add this extended class with seeded page you need to customize the page, you will find the option to add your class, mention u your class with package to compete (the way that we import the file with their package names in our source code, here import is not necessary)

    thanx
