Theoretically, hypothetically...

Post by Svetomech »

...if Bethesda releases the src what would you do? Just have this question stuck in my head for a while now.

Probably just verify that we're doing all of the formulas and format handling correctly, and then proceed with life as usual. We're too far along and too invested in the libraries we are using now (which is not a bad thing) to start over by modifying the released source.

This is a question for Zini, Scrawl or Chris, since they'd likely know most how this would effect things.

However, I think, an educated guess would follow Raevol's thinking. (I was going to post the same thing, btw, Raevol ;) )

Some of the original MW coding is rather awful (*cough* script compiler and VM *cough*) and I doubt that anything of it is future proof (extensible and able to support multiple modern platforms). Most likely the original code would be completely useless, except for reverse engineering purpose (formula and such)
