ZeroRadiant?

[greebo]

I was looking in compiling DarkRadiant under VC++ (because I can't get gdb to work under Win32) and stumbled upon this: http://qeradiant.com/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/wiki/ZeroRadiant

 

WTF?

[OrbWeaver]

No idea what that's about, I wonder how active that project is?

 

I don't know why they are talking about releasing the 1.4 source under the GPL, since it already is released under the GPL.

[greebo]

The page was set up by Timo, I guess he should know about the GPL release. I'm also wondering what they want to do with the 1.4 codebase - isn't that as dusty as something you carry out of pyramids?

[sparhawk]

Well, at least they have a roadmap on their site.

Try telling them that though -- I couldn't even persuade SPoG that Vector3 total = vector3_added(vec1, vector3_added(vec2, vec3)) was poor C++ code design. They probably think their templated crap is a work of l33t genius.

Says that they're working on this for some id project? I wonder what the heck it would be?

[mohij]

As far as I know, they release 1.4 as gpl because the codebase is way better (since some guy really spoilt it afterwards, later known as 1.5).

[OrbWeaver]

The point is that 1.4 was already released under the GPL; that is what DarkRadiant is based on. I have no idea what they are referring to when they talk about a 1.4 GPL source release "coming soon", unless there are some changes to the original 1.4 codebase which were not previously released under the GPL.

I thought DarkRadiant is based on GtkRadiant 1.5 (also known as the "SPoG branch")? I'm of course no expert in GtkRadiant history. Anyway, I thought 1.4 is already GPL'ed as well.

 

edit: The wikipedia article doesn't tell much about the 1.4 version, only mentions 1.5. Could be possible that 1.4 has never been GPL'ed?

[OrbWeaver]

I thought DarkRadiant is based on GtkRadiant 1.5 (also known as the "SPoG" branch)?

 

I thought 1.5 was the "final release" by namespace after SPoG left the project? I guess I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the DarkRadiant baseline was some version of GtkRadiant 1.4.

[sparhawk]

This statement makes only sense if 1.3 was not GPL, and they want to do a "real" 1.4.

[OrbWeaver]

Yes, that is possible. Maybe the GPL release was the "SPoG branch" which was 1.4, and they want to release a version they kept internally as the new 1.4 without SPoG's changes.
