Content pack source code inclusion

by Andy Hawkins · in Torque Game Engine · 04/07/2006 (5:49 pm) · 4 replies

So I have the code from this forum and a bit from the books to make my character fly, but if I want to put the flying character in a content pack I can't include the source code can I?

I know I can include scripts, but how do I allow the customer to install the source code mods?

The only thing I can think of is giving them a list of links to resources and books I used to create the effect.

How can this be done without breeching copyright / licences et al.?

If I can include the code - how do I automate the code merge for them?

You can provide links to resources. Also you need to say that "you need to be SDK Owner to use it".

Actually that's perfect because if you aren't an SDK user you can't physically use the code anyway.

What about if I provide an .exe that has all the code changes in it, plus the links and code to mod their own code if they want?

Andy, make it a How to resource for SDK owners and simplify the heck out of it so they can purchase the content pack and then follow a link to a resource/tutorial that walks them through it.

Sounds good. As long as this is acceptable to content pack customers. I always thought it would be best
to provide as much "drag and drop" capabilities as possible for content packs, but I guess when things get a bit technical this is the only way.
