Johan said:We're thinking about an releasing the sourcecode of a few older games to people with programming knowledge, and an interest in the games. You would get the opportunity to make your own expansion/boosterpack of our games, which you could then sell through gamersgate and earn money on your work. We would provide a forum for those involved, where you can communicate and get support.
We see this as an excellent opportunity to increase the life of the products and for our fans who improve the games to earn some extra money. Of course you would have to sign NDA's and a contract for it.
We´re likely getting the entitr code. In which case. Yes it will be possible. ANything will be possible Question is more if you have the time, skill and opportunity to make the changes and if Paradox decides to release CK.Drachenfire said:Would this extend to allowing inheritance laws in CK to be modable? For instance, to allow female succession? Possibly adding additional succession laws?

leggbros said:First, this is a very innovative approach, letting modders officially have access to the source code is something I've personally never heard of (but it probably has happened).

More likely way to differentiat is that it is unlikely we will get acces to the latest game engine, which is the one the next few games will be built on. This rules out EU3. Not surprising really. But all games before were IIRC built on the same engine, and therefore we could possibly get them. Vicky was never a huge commercial succes, but the micromanaging master of this community love it. So I would not be surprised if we got it. HoI2 is intresting, it is quite old. But the forum regularly has a newbie popping by saying hello because they just bought the game and love it. It is not a credible source for how well the game is selling, but it might indicate that the sales are so high still that paradox won´t consider it an "old" game.Dominik said:I believe the only games we will get access to are those which don't have a sequel (are not the latest of their kind). That would be EU, EU2 and HOI (not HOI2).
But the fact remains that Johan posted in the HOI2 forums (here, in case someone wants to verify this).White Daimon said:HoI2 is intresting, it is quite old.

Yes. That is true. And I´m really hoping that what I wrote above is completely false, and that we will indeed get the source code for HoI2.MichaelM said:But the fact remains that Johan posted in the HOI2 forums (here, in case someone wants to verify this).
Nor was anything posted in the EU1 forum, HoI1 fourm, Two Thrones forum or in the Crown of the North forum. But severel of these will very likely be included in this. Think Johan posted in Vicky/HoI2 forum because these are the most popular games that have a chance of becoming part of this great thingy.YodaMaster said:And this is a fact nothing was posted in EU2 forum.

Also true. I was merely pointing out a fact, not (intentionally) reading anything into it.Hardstuff said:Johan posting in certain forums is absolutely no indication of whether these games will be part of this [potential] initiative. It remains evident, however, that he posted in these forums solely in the interest of generating awareness of the existence of this idea and subsequent poll, as the Hearts of Iron 2 forum is especially active.

I doubt they'll provide eu3 sourcesDietmar1982 said:why not post in the EU3 forum then?
Because releasing the EU3 source is around 5 years down the line because its the flagship of a new engine HOI2 will come sooner than that even if its not initially released.Dietmar1982 said:why not post in the EU3 forum then?
