FLOSS STALKER Clone? Anonymous 01/22/16 (Fri) 01:19:00 No.1717

Does anything similar to STALKER, at least in spirit or theme exist as a libre vidya? It's just about the only game that doesn't have a libre clone outside from DOTA that I like.

I actually don't expect an answer, sort of just shitposting to keep the board alive.

Paranoia 2 uses the Xash3D engine which is a goldsrc clone, but the people who made Paranoia 2 did not provide source code with their binary iirc. Xash3D is GPLv3 by the way, so i'm pretty sure they are required to do that.

same deal for Paranoia 1 apparently. they re-released it on Xash3D and they seem to only provide an executable.

maybe someone could tell them how to make their projects comply with the GPL?

Technically they only have to provide source code upon request. In addition, if it's just the engine, then it's not their code so they can just refer back to the original project, although yes the onus is on them to provide source when they distribute any gpl binary.
