About the engine - Endless Ages

Killjoy · 08-22-2008, 06:46 PM

well i was talking with rolled about the games current situation.

We said that jason needs to do something about the engine because when he bought the rights to the game he still doesent own the engine so he doesent have the source code. Aaron is the only one who can work it and so without him all they can do is mod the game.

Now this wouldnt be a problem for a small fps but this is a MMO. Jason needs to completely own the game if he wants to get full use out of the engine as this has so much potential. I hope something will get done about this

Thanks

There is another owner of the game and it is not Jason although Jason has high stakes in the game I'm not at liberty to disclose what his stakes are but they are very important.

What?

Me and Brandon own this game and are 50/50 partners.

We do need to license the aura engine so that we may update and fix things anytime we want and change anything we want, however at this point it doesnt really make sense for us to have it, this is why:

1) The Aura source code several hundred thousands lines of code and would take us a very long time to learn it

2) Even if we had the code, we'd still need to pay Aaron to add stuff because of reason #1

Obviously we intend on purchasing the engine license as soon as possible, however without funding from the game we cant really do that can we

We'll get it guys, all will come in time.

Wasn't sure how much I could say but I knew you would see this and set the record straight. Thanks Jason

I always wondered what kind of ****ed off/funny notes are in the code

**Jason Lee** · 08-24-2008, 12:44 AM

There is some hilarious ones I've found just by viewing the hex code of the EndlessAges.exe file

You've said too much, Jason... or not enough :-D

Kermit · 08-24-2008, 05:50 AM

I'll have to check it out lol

you need a HEX editor to read the code but overall you need a way to understand it.

this is line 100 IN hex MODE of the .EXE file

91 B3 38 48 00 00 00 00-00 00 00 00 E0 00 03 01

which= ‘³8H and a few other chars.

you still need to be able to decipher what you are looking at and understand it. That's where having some programing knowledge comes into play

WARNING If you plan to do this DO NOT change any code in any way shape or form LOOK is OK but DO NOT TOUCH.

I know Lat

I'm not THAT noobish

Was not intended for you was intended for anyone that tries to do that. Anyways no matter how LEET you think you are it never hurts to have a small bit of help as in this case a warning/reminder.
