It's still Blizzard's property. Just because some guy took it back from the office and kept it and some guy bought it doesn't make it his. If he released it he would have been sued into the ground by Blizzard and be put into debt for the rest of his life, and for what exactly? So that some people can make "STARCRAFT EPIC BALANCED EDITION 0.05" only to be C&D'd by Blizzard immediately? So that people could create other shittier RTS based on Starcraft? Christ forbid somebody does the right thing (and not be fucked for the rest of his life) instead of releasing the source code to the Internet where Blizzard would take down any and all fan games/mods immediately when the full game is available for fucking free right now.

Honestly you guys aren't the brightest fucking bulbs on the porch.

I would ask God to conceal source code from anyone but the developers for all time.

>>377940309
There's some people doing an open source remake of GTA3, so that could be possible.

I just want to say that the source code of Brood War, while it might be of some academic interest for some, is quite unimportant. OpenBW already seems fully compatible with replays (which, I presume, means it is a complete implementation of mechanics because otherwise replays would desync) and playing the game doesn't seem to be far off.

But to answer the question, World of Warcraft: TBC 2.0.3 (preferably with databases included). The reason is I'm already invested in figuring out legacy-WoW. The choice of patch doesn't really matter if you're just looking at source code side of things (seeing as that the core architecture has remained more or less the same and details that have changed in balance patches are well documented already) but in terms of databases it's the best choice because at that point vanilla content is unaltered (say, elite areas are intact prior to 2.3) and the most original versions of T4/T5 content, extremely poorly documented compared to their final versions (for example, there's no video documentation of the first Lady Vashj kill because Nihilum allegedly exploited the encounter, and the tuning of this version that wasn't killed legit is of interest to me) never mind WotLK+ content, would be accessible.

>>377939120
There should be a legal clause for singular games over 25 years old releasing the source code.

having source code to a game isn't nearly as big of a deal as you would think. when its interfacing with an engine and other 3rd party libraries that you don't know how they work its like reading gibberish.

although Starcraft is old enough the game might still be written as a single monolith which would make the source code much more valuable.

Vagrant Story, so we can get both the full game we were meant to have (VS had 50% of its content cut) and the trilogy that was planned.

This would be a horrendously difficult choice to make, since this code essentially allows you to create loads of content or even full expansions. You could make FF8 or 9 have 4 more discs of content. You could make a Suikoden game with the entire planet if you worked hard enough. My choice wasn't made lightly.

>90% done
I will never forget about this EA.

Post moments when a code source was leaked

>>377943538
The source code has human-readable names for functions, variables, can include comments etc. and is turned to machine code executable by computers through process called compiling.

Let me provide an example with instruction set pulled out of my ass (and little relevance to what real instruction sets look like, you'd actually be pulling numbers in and out of memory addresses instead of registers working conveniently like that for starters) for the sake of demonstration. Let's suppose we have a program with following lines in its source code:

attacker.strength = 249;
attacker.weapon_damage = 53;
target.armour = 170;
damage = attacker.strength + attacker.weapon_damage - target.armour;

A compiled would then turn it to the following 8-bit words with following meaning to the CPU:
01010011 set following value to register A
11111001 249
11010110 set following value to register B
00110101 53
01101001 set following value to register C
10101010 170
11010101 add together values in registers A and B and place result in register D
00110011 add together values in registers C and D and place result in register F
11001100 substract value in register F from register value in register D and place it in register G

If you opened the executable in Notepad then it'd look like a garbled mess but with a hex editor you could load the compiled executable, look up the binary words in CPU instruction set manual, and in principle edit the program. But nothing at all in 01010011 tells you it's about attacker's strength and actually changing anything substantial without access to human-readable source takes a great deal of study. It can be done and it has been done, but it's all kinds of awful.

Read the thread

>>377953025
And before anyone complains, full disclosure: I don't even study computer science, I just went through the basic courses out of interest. I haven't dealt with any real CPU instruction sets (just a mock one made for teaching purposes), and I can't claim to know how you'd actually go about reverse-engineering the logic of the program from the executable. No need to point out I'm terrible because I know I am, I just thought the post would help people with even more rudimentary understanding of the problem

>>377954303
to put it bluntly, it´s like the difference between having the blueprint of a car and having the car itself. can you reverse engineer a car? yes, but it´s not easy
this is a really questionable way to put it, but someone already gave a better explanation of it anyways

Marvel vs Capcom 2

If only there could ve a way to transfer all that to the latest stuff.

>>377953272
Depends, there are some games that most companies lost the source code to. Like Panzer Dragoon and a few others.

>>377939541
If you have the source code of a game under a license where it can be released, distributed and compiled for free then that game will be immortal.
Look at the classic Quake and Doom games and how they're ported to run on literally every new device released.

Doom 3 will run on every new computer made from now till the heat death of the universe because Id were awesome
Doom 4 on the other hand will only ever work on one OS on one architecture because Bethesda and Zenimax are assholes.

I really want to make a good RPG some day, and Xenoblade is the perfect candidate for what I feel is RPG kino. The source code would be immense in helping understand how to set up the semi-action-RPG system it uses and how to design the grand world it offers, and then after that, it's off to building a team to work on the RPG itself.
After that, I'd probably mat and frame the source code disc because of how much I treasure the game.

Decompiling machine code is the worst thing ever.
I had to take a short course when I got into a cybersec company even though I was involved in a completely different area, and it was hell.
I have a lot of respect for modern day crackers.

I have no doubt rockstar would have ported it if it wasn't. They whore their games out like crazy.

You're pretty much on point. Good shit seeing some anons actually know compsci in there.
