Open Warfare Welcome to OpenWarfaremod.com Written by SpacepiG Thursday, 12 October 2006 05:00 The idea of the OpenWarfare Project was born on May 7th, 2008, while driving home from work. I wanted to create a mod with features that I have been waiting forever to be implemented in other mods but I didn't want this to just be another mod. I wanted to make it different where the development doesn't really depend on the spare time of a single person. I happen to personally believe in the power of open source code and this was the perfect opportunity. Creating a mod where people not only can suggest new ideas or features but where they can also help implementing them if they are willing to do so. By the time I got home I had the idea, I had the name: OpenWarfare but had no idea where to start. After a couple of weeks working with this mod I started to feel really proud of what I was able to accomplish during a short period of time. The first couple of days were hard but everything started to make sense after long hours reading lines and lines of source code included in the ModTools. I was ready to give up on a couple of occasions but I decided to keep going forward and today I'm glad I did. I know that by having a policy of open source code some other modders might use the source code from this mod for their own projects and I have no problem with it. If they want to give credit to this project which is the correct thing to do I will really appreciate it but it they decide otherwise I will not send the mod police after them as I have really no intention in wasting time on that. All the source code in this mod has been written from scratch and nothing has been taken from existing mods. The main reason to do this project is to also learn and I'm sure there's not a lot of learning by doing copy and paste. Also it will be irresponsible to use some other person's source code and then release it to the public as "open source", right?
