first off i would like ot apologize......remember how anytime i saw something new and shiny i was all "oh my god we need a port of this blah blah blah...." god that was anoying. so i apologize not for the past but for what you are about to read as it is the BIGGEST ONE OF THOSE EVER!!!!! the source code to Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory has been released ot the general public....no this is not a joke and this inclused the quake 3 engine it runs on.........can you say morphos port of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory? THAT WOULD BE SOOOOOOOOOOO COOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!
I THINK THAT THIS IS A MUST HAVE GAME....and with the new 3d accelerated radeon drivers comming out in 1.5 (i think) this would bea great way tot test them ......so what do ya say genesi will we see this become a reality? by the way my sources for this article are

and its on the frront page of happypenguin.org
well tell me what you guys think

I should have known!!!!!!

Hi,

I do not like porting games that much but I have to admit that poundsmack is right. Such a game running on MorphOS (that's NO Linux) certainly is a eyecatcher. My dad had one of the Wolfenstein titles on his computer and it even made me addicted.

Are there any things you have to do to get the code? Register or something?

Pay... if you want a port that is, go read the news item again.

in a wold where shiny things catch peoples eyes so easily this would really help show the worls we are a modern computing platform capible of great things

i think a port of a older but very popular 3D shooter is
better. something with longtime motivation and a comunity.
if you port one of the many available 3D shooter ... you
will play it for some time, but i think it will not have
longtime motivation and this will take more time to port
than to play. how i allready said, iam not a 3D shooter
freak, but i think somethink like Counterstrike will be
better or any other game with a great userbase that will
not die in the next month.

well with this port it would also require porting ther quake 3 engine so we could also have quake 3 for morphos and that has a huge! user base me being a part of it...

I don't think the real Quake III engine is included in those files. It's very expensive to buy and ID software are very picky about who can get one according to the information on their homepage. This is what it says about price:

"For a single title license, we charge a $250,000 guarantee against a 5% royalty of the wholesale price for the title."

"Note that this is the source for the ET game and not the Quake3 engine that drives it."

oops my bad i never read the "not" in that sentence.......actualy i think that wasn't there when i read it last time i wonder if they left it out and added it once they realized they messsed up.....
