    The Brady Bunch move to Sweden, vacation in Israel, go home and download Urban Terror; http://www.urbanterror.info/do... Sometimes , the best things in life, are free and that is a good value to teach kids. To squeeeeeeze the trigger on exhale is an early lesson that has served me well through life. Thanks, Grandpa!

  3. Re:what am i missing? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 4, Informative · on Urban Terror Code Stolen

    That's just the open source Q3 engine though.

    UT is a closed source mod to the engine developed seperately (under the Q3 SDK licence)

    From http://www.urbanterror.info/support/196-misc/#1.1

    "Urban Terror uses the Quake 3 SDK license. This means the game code (the .qvm's in zpak000.pk3) are closed source."

    "Urban Terror's close sourced .qvm's (quake virtual machine) are interprated by the open source engine"

    So basically there are three bits: engine, mod and assets. The engine can be the open source Q3 (but could be the closed source version, and doesn't really care). The magic bits of the mod are closed source, and presumably the bits that have been "stolen".

    (no expert, just reading the FAQ's)

  4. Non-open source by binkzz · · Score: 1 · on Ask Slashdot: Good, Useful Free Software For Gifts?

    Most people are suggesting open source apps and games, but there are some really good closed source ones as well:

    Spelunky(okay this one's open source)
    Cave Story Fantastic platform game.
    Trackmania Nations Great multiplayer and single player racing game.
    Urban Terror The graphics are a little dated, but the gameplay is still really, really good. Online multiplayer team based FPS.

    The reason for releasing source code as open source isn't so that you can download it for free, compile it, and have a working copy of Doom 3, it's so that people can look at the code, learn from it, port the game to new architectures or mod the source to add new features/take advantage of new technology. Several original games have been developed using previously released id source code: (Someone should really invent some kind of "Search" "Engine" for this internet thing...)
    Nexuiz
    Urban Terror
    Tremulous

    Sadly, I suspect that you won't appreciate the value of any of that, having phrased your questions the way you did.
