I've been asked to comment on this, but honestly, I don't have anything to add really. I'm sure I'm not the first one to ever think of this, so, instead of the inciting approach, I'm going to ask, is there a petition to release the source code already? If it is, it's online? Can it be signed? Send an e-mail? Send a mail?Īnd if you're wondering what would be the benefit of having Civ4's full source code? Well, we could port it to 64-bits, use as much RAM as your computer has available, leverage multi-core CPUs, compile it using a newer compiler to enable the game to use newer CPU instructions for performance, a native port to Linux, and enhance graphics.Īnd yes, I'm a C++ programmer willing to dig into this, and yes I'm writing this as I wait for my turn to finish Nevertheless and I'm an avid fan of this game since the day it came out.ġ2 years was the amount of years it took for John Carmack to release the source code of Doom 3 under GPL (even less for Wolfenstein 3D and Doom). I know I'm not (very) active in the Civ4 community, much less the mod one.
