GTAV NES port here we come
In the meantime you can emulate the remastered Switch version pretty easily.
This is incredibly good and relevant to me and i didn’t know this thank you
Already emulating the Xbox version on Xenia. It works. But key/mouse support would’ve been nice
Again for anybody working on their own games or who does software. Avoid this like the plague.
Just a quick question, why? Is it because Take2 or Rockstar will come after anyone that they think copied their code, or are there a lot of bad practices used in GTA5’s code?
Because even the possibility that you implemented somebody else’s proprietary code from memory or inspiration opens up a lot of legal issues.
And while you may win there’s no winners when you or your employer has to pay your side of legal fees. It’s best to just avoid it to make that process easier.
Depends on which country you’re in. I would bet if you do it in Russia there will be zero consequences.
when you or your employer has to pay your side of legal fees
Where I live, the losing side must pay for all legal fees
Also to add to this, you are disqualified from contributing code to the WINE project if you’ve seen parts of the Windows source code for this exact same reason.
There’s no way this is true. I can literally think of similar code as what’s in GTA V, I have never opened the link. Does that open me up to a law suit? That’s crazy.
Again for anybody working on their own games or who does software. Avoid this like the plague.
Learning from the code and reusing the same code are two different things. It’s not every day you get to see how the pros do it.
On a completely different subject, I’m curious about your username, could you elaborate on it?
Edit: I scrolled down. What is Stormlight?
Edit2: I scrolled down even more. [This says it the best].(https://lemmy.world/comment/6232601)
Bad take.
Code is about working with a limited set of tools and making them work for whatever task is in front of you.
Inspiration is from interacting with something and receiving insight.
The best coders meld the two and push the industry forward. If you impose self limitations like this on yourself, then you’ll never advance yourself.
This is like saying you read lord of the rings and now can’t play DND because the fantasy source material was ‘stolen’.
I’m not a lawyer, but this sounds wrong. What would you say to Rockstar employees who go work at another developer? They saw the code, and they signed an NDA. If anyone is on the hook for something like that, it’s those people.
It’s Rockstar’s responsibility to protect their trade secrets. Copyright law protects them from someone taking their work and redistributing it, but none of the designs or ideas in there are protected by that. Copyright only protects actual works.
…again, I’m not a lawyer, so I could be wrong. I am a layman who has studied this topic a lot though.
Maybe we can finally end all the hopes for that UFO thing. The people who spent years on it deserve closure, even if it was just hints towards a cancelled DLC
It’s all part of a probe to gauge sympathy for an Alien race orbiting an unstable star system, hoping to relocate to Earth and build an army of sympathisers.
Sorry for late response, one of the other commenters got it but if you didn’t look it up after you probably don’t know the scale of the search. There are a ton of Easter eggs and a few UFOs hanging around in the game, leading many to think there is a large scale mystery that can be solved. Also hard to describe the Easter eggs— there was a mural on a mountain, an ingame serial killer, a ghost and her daughter, a cult, ingame rumors of UFOs, an alien frozen in ice, three UFOs hovering and one crashed, and a lot more that I probably can’t remember.
So for years people scoured through the game and decompiled code hoping to find it. The search is actually vaguely still ongoing apparently, even after the leak since it takes time to parse through.
While there is still stuff undiscovered, it’s most likely that this was part of the cancelled single player DLCs. Which does suck because it was a genuinely interesting idea and it would’ve been cool if R* had managed to hide a real massive subplot in the game.
Not the best summary cause it’s been a while and I was never that invested, but it was pretty interesting in the first few years.
Now that the source code is “out there” it may be possible in the future for better mod support, fingers crossed.
“You have been banned from Rockstar Social Club.”
But seriously, fuck their jank-ass forced integration.
Wait, all mods have to go through that app? That’s total shite. Is there any way to launch it completely offline or would someone just have to pirate it?
So… link?
Lmao, it’s a Rick roll on archive.org!
No seriously, here is the real link:
