Re: SE IV Source Code
I doubt we will get IV. III is possible.

Re: SE IV Source Code
I agree, III is more likely than IV but still... It would be nice.

Re: SE IV Source Code
Well, if he did make the source code available it would open up a lot of possibilities for all kinds of new mods. All those things that are not moddable right now because they're hard-coded, if we could bring them all out to external text files as well, that would be excellent. Maybe we can make the A.I. smarter, too, though that would be a lot of work.

Re: SE IV Source Code
I do not believe that they will sell or give us the source code because if we improve the SE-IV game it will be a competitor for SE-V! Most of us will buy SE-V by hook or by crook, but maybe not all.
And yes, it would be cool to make that hard-coded things moddable but on the other side do you really want to know every algorithms? That can improve but also kill gameplay(-feeling).

Re: SE IV Source Code
The source to SE 2 is a possibility.
SE3 was reportedly still selling, not that long ago, and SE4 is going retail soon.

Re: SE IV Source Code
SE II was written in Visual Basic, BTW, not Pascal or Delphi (Object Pascal, frankly). So possessing that doesn't get you very close to even SE III.  |
