stefanhendriks Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 true, but i still am interested in the source :)Anyway, this quote tells enough about my activities last period:EA will not give you permission to use (any part of) the Dune II sourcecode. (They appreciate that you have shared your intentions with them.)However, they do urge you to refrain from further pursuing them. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timsvs Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 just an idea, probably a stupid one but here goes...y not get the source code for another RTS game? a simple one like C&C1, and just turn it into dune? wouldn't be too hard?

ken124578 Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 They already looked into giving away the source, but they're having difficulties with the licences, so, no :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frodo Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 probably the same reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefanhendriks Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 i don't know about C&C. But the fact is, they do not want to release any source at all; sad but true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gobalopper Posted March 8, 2003 Author Share Posted March 8, 2003 Anyone else notice that they just released GTA for free? To bad we still don't have Dune II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefanhendriks Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 Dune II source is out of the question. Any mail i send, i won't get a reply anymore. I sure hope i don't get a letter from EA these days... sueing me and such. Yikes. :-[ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidiware Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 Gob Where does they say that?Where can i d/l it?Well sue you for asking a question? Then the could sue me too...Well with norwegian law, i would win but i could not be a millionair on it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted March 9, 2003 Author Share Posted March 9, 2003 I saw it over at Blues News on Friday. Should be on Rockstar's website but its a 300MB+ download so expect a slow download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 Why are you trying to get the Dune II code of EA when it was Virgin Interactive who made it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidu Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 Why don't you raise funds to buy it?The people who own a bank account (I don't) can donate...Something like "support the modding". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted March 15, 2003 Author Share Posted March 15, 2003 EA bought Westwood so they own Dune II not Virgin.And Dune II is not for sale, at least not for any amount we could afford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted March 16, 2003 Author Share Posted March 16, 2003 id is now selling Keen and Spear of Destiny games. Why couldn't Westwood do this?http://www.idsoftware.com/games/vintage/ck-vorticons/http://www.idsoftware.com/games/vintage/ck-galaxy/http://www.idsoftware.com/games/wolfenstein/spear/Looking over 3D Realms site they also offer a lot of their older titles:http://www.3drealms.com/prices.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTF Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 15 dollar is quite much for such old games. And they don't include source code, do they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidiware Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 No... but you can buy doom and then use the source (u need original IWADs) to develop own doom games and doom engine based games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefanhendriks Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 I downloaded the sources of:Doom (all versions i think)Heretic (same as Doom engine)Quake 1/2 (also WinQuake, GLQuake, etc)these are all available at the id software website. All it takes is time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidiware Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 yes.. but you still need teh wads... and thay are illegal to copy.,.. unless you makes your own iwads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkmage Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 why not ask for EA to release the source for say emperor battle for dune. that would be a much better thing to ask for. OR better yet... ask if instead of releasing the code as open source, ask if you can setup a small group which will sign Non disclosure agreementws, who will port the games to other platforms such as linux :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidu Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 MAN! they don't want to release the Dune2 SDK! how do you think they would release the EBfD SDK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefanhendriks Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 I think everything related to 'dune' will have troubles to get released. Perhaps C&C Generals has a better chance ;) ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidiware Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 can you ask them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidu Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 It's way too new...You'd have a better chance with the old C&C games.Or, you could try it with Blizzard. Maybe they'll release the WarCraft (I or II) engine code. It's worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
