Rome source code released

**anonimo272** · September 26, 2012, 08:33 AM

so i read on the on the modding summit topic that the rome souce code will be released
from what i understand it means, no more hardcoded limits, am i right ?
and since rome/medieval2 have the same engine (at least i think) will that mean that we would have no hardcoded limits in medieval 2 ? right ?

imagine a EB2 whit 100 factions, a EB2 with 10000 regions, a EB2 with 10000000 units to choose to recruit, imagine a EB2 without limits...

say i am right, please...

Only if EB crew have the manpower, for an engine as complex as R2 i bet it would have to be 5-10x the size.

R2TW will be ridiculously complex.

too bad it wont be to medieval 2 too

so now i wich they make EB3 on rome again

Don't know what you've seen, but EB2 with 100 factions etc would be perfect, yet won't be complete for ages.

anonimo272, no. Only RTW. M2TW code has been "lost" in Australian filial.

So they are going to release RTW code source, really ?

When I suggested that, one year ago, here at TWC everyone said I was insane, check these topic #1 and this topic #2

"We found Rome source code" ??

you mean they lost their source code? all this talk about being protective of the game code and hard coded limitations etc etc when they didnt even have it??

Yes they did lose it, it might still be lost as they didn't know whether the code they found was the final release version. Apparently their backup regime was pretty haphazard in the old days and somewhere along the line it got lost.

So they would rather lose it than release it to the modders, nice going CA

how big is it any way? cant store it on a hard drive put it away in a desk or something? I had GBs for years and never lost them even though I changed hard drives/PCs many times.
