Star Trek - Elite Force 2 Source Code Released

Thanks to Shacknews for pointing to a Ritualistic announcement that the Star Trek Elite Force II game DLL sourcecode is now available for download, thus "allowing people to create their own single and multiplayer mods" for this recently-released PC FPS, which was fairly well-received on its release earlier this year. It joins a number of recent full or partial source code releases from games such as Call To Power 2 and Homeworld, although, as with many source releases, "this code and the dll that it will build will only work with a full copy of [the game]."

    Greased Up Yoda Doll is My Lover
    Written & composed by Greasedyoda Jackson

    He was more like a beauty queen from a star wars movie scene
    I said dont mind getting greased up, but what do you mean I am the one?
    Who will grease up on the floor in the round
    He said I am the one who will get greased up on the floor in the round

    He told me his name was Greased up Yoda, as he caused a scene
    Then every purple head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
    Who will grease up on the floor in the round

    People always told me be careful of what you do
    And dont go around breaking boys rectums
    And mother always told me be careful of who you grease up and shove
    And be careful of what you do [in the ass] ?cause the lie becomes the truth

    Greased p Yoda is my lover
    He?s just a "girl" who claims that I am the one
    But the kid is my greased up Yoda and my son
    He says I am the one, but the kid is my greased up Yoda doll!

    For forty days and forty nights
    The law was on his side
    But who can stand when hez in demand
    His schemes and plans
    cause we greased up on the floor in the round
    So take my strong advice, just remember to always shove it up a greased ass twice
    (do shove twice)

    He told my baby, we where anally gyrating till 3:00
    Then he looked at me, he showed me a photo
    My anal lover cried, cause his anus wasnt as wide as mine

    People always told me be careful of what you do
    And dont go around shoving Greased Yoda Dolls in you ass!
    He came and stood right up my ass.
    Then the smell of sweet anal fumes
    This happened much too soon
    He called me to his room

    Greased Up Yoda Doll is my lover
    Hez just a doll who claims that I am the one
    But the greasy anal remnants is my son
    Greased Up Yoda Doll is my lover
    Hez just a guy who claims that I am the one
    But the Yoda doll is my anal toy
    He says I am the one, but the Doll is in my ass
    He says I am the one, but the Doll is in my ass
    Greased Up Yoda Doll is my lover
    Hez just a doll who claims that I am the one
    But the Yoda doll is my anal toy
    He says I am the one, but the Doll is in my ass
    He says I am the one, but the Doll is in my ass
    Greased Up Yoda Doll is my lover
    Greased Up Yoda Doll is my lover
    Greased Up Yoda Doll is my lover
    Greased Up Yoda Doll is my lover
    Greased Up Yoda Doll is my lover
    Greased Up Yoda Doll is my lover

    8 steps to greasing your anus for yoda doll insertion

    1) defecate. preferably after eating senna, ex lax, prunes, cabbage and hot sauces.
    2) wipe ass with witch hazel, soothes horrific burns
    3) prime anus with anal ease.
    4) slather richly a considerable amount of vaseline or other anal lubricants into your rectum at least until the bend and also take your yoda doll or yoda soap on a rope and liberally apply it.
    5) pucker your ballon knot several times actuating the sphincter muscle in order to work it in
    6) slowly rest yourself onto your yoda figurine
    7) make sure to have a mechanism by which to fish yoda out of your rectum, the soap on the rope is especially useful because that is built in.
    8) gyrate gleefully in your computer chair while your fat sexless geek nerd loser fat shit self enjoys the prostate massage you'll be getting. Read slashdot. Masturbate to anime.

    Far inside the butt
    My face is turning blue
    And there's nothing I can do

  4. Neo and Trinity Both DIE - tsarkon reports by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Agent Smith shows turns the Oracle into a copy of himself. Neo and Trinity take one ship and head off to the machine city, Morpheus and the others head back to Zion. The Agent Smith who took over the guy's body in the real world blinds Neo, then Neo kills him. The ship crashes into the machine city and Trinity dies. The other ship makes it back to Zion and fires an EMP, killing a crapload of Sentinels but crippling Zion's defenses. Neo talks to the head machine, gets him to call a truce, and goes back into the matrix. Everyone in the Matrix is now an Agent Smith. He fights the one that used to be the Oracle. Smith beats Neo, then turns Neo into a copy of himself, then the Neo copy explodes, then all the Smiths explode. The remaining Sentinals in Zion go home without killing everyone, and the Matrix is reborn. Neo dies.

    I note that a user-done Linux port of Homeworld followed within weeks of that release. I wonder how long it is before game developers can just supply a script and artwork, then stand back and watch their app being written. (-:

    Either way, it's too late to prod the genie back into the bottle now. Open Source is well and truly coming to commercial gaming.

    This kind of practice might also make the WINE developers' jobs easier, because they don't have to guess at what a game is trying to accomplish with a given weird set of system calls, which means that they don't have to cover all of the possible uses for a call when implementing it, only the actual uses.

      I think it's getting to the stage where you could dedicate a site to games with (partially) open source code. The list seems to grow all the time. The list of Doom and Quake modifications people have done since they went GPL is huge. Following Elite Force 2, Call to Power source was released in the last week as well. It just seems to be the way that works for developers (and their publishers) at the moment.

      Just because you state it so firmly doesn't make it true. As soon as an open source game runs on an unmodified Gamecube, then "Open Source" (capitalization yours) will have "truly come to commercial gaming." Until then its just amateurs making crappy, buggy mods.

  8. Dumb question about all these source code releases by wrinkledshirt · · Score: 1

    I'm wondering just how useful having this code released is. For instance, anybody can get at the Linux source but not everybody can understand it.

    What I'm wondering is, are there extra tools for the developer along with these source releases? Map generators and the like? Comments that show where you can twiddle with weapons physics and such? Good modular programming that shows you were to substitute the in-game models for your own user generated ones?

    That's the sort of stuff I wonder about.

    Don't get me wrong, I'd love to find out that it's only a good month's worth of hacking to get your own mod going. I'm just wondering if people who are more experienced dealing with this sort of source can answer...?

  9. Umm.. not complete source code by LocoBurger · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Just a note so there's no confusion.. This is NOT the complete source code of the game, so no one can take this and make it run on FreeBSD or BlueOS or something. It is merely the mod source, so that mod writers can make mods now. Just about every FPS releases this type of source code moments after or even before the release of the game is on store shelves.

    This is a non-news item.

    Comments like "woo open source rocks, anyone going to port to another platform?" are a little overblown.

    This is only for the *gameplay* specific module - stuff that controls how guns shoot, how the AI behaves and how the player accomplishes objectives. With this you can make new *gameplay* modes. Like, say, capture the flag, tag, etc.

    It doesn't have any of the framework, graphics, sound or networking components exposed - that stuff would be in the closed source Quake 3 engine on which EF2 is based.

    IIRC, most of the team that developed EF2 had been let go after the game went gold. The chances of any official mods like the add on pack for EF1 are next to nil; they're basically saying, "Go make you're own mods."
