CnC_Remastered_Collection VS re3

That's just a clone game though. And the originals were actually made open source with the release of the remaster.

Not most, but quite a few legendary ones were released in a "source available engine, paid maps" kind of way. Check out Id Software's github for a couple versions of DOOM, Quake and Wolfenstein. EA has released Command & Conquer's source code (here).

You could just look through the source code and see if you can spot anything though.

If anyone curious about some historic examples here is the pathfinding code from the C&C/Red Alert games

>The path algorithm works by following a LOS path to the target. If it collides with an impassable spot, it uses an Edge following routine to get around it. The edge follower moves along the edge in a clockwise or counter clockwise fashion until finding the destination spot. The destination is determined by Find_Path. It is the first passable that can be reached (so it will handle the doughnut case, where there is a passable in the center of an unreachable area).

That being said bespoke development being done badly is the source of horror stories. It's like old games C++ being notoriously "horrible garbage hacks" and yet, code like this or this is very well documented and not bad.

What do you more than this? https://github.com/electronicarts/CnC_Remastered_Collection

I merged the upstream branch of the source code into my mod branch, did a new build, moved teh required files into the mod folder and confirmed the mod worked locally.

The source is wrapped up in DLLs so it can run in their frontend, but all of the old game source is there: https://github.com/electronicarts/CnC_Remastered_Collection

As a specific example, the code for the Command & Conquer video games was released by Electronic Arts awhile back. Looking at some of the code for C&C: Red Alert (https://github.com/electronicarts/CnC_Remastered_Collection/tree/master/REDALERT), I was struck by how many comments were included. For example, this is a snippet from one of the source files (HOUSE.CPP):

That's good. The only thing I'd like some help with right now are two OpenGL functions - check my other comment in this thread - which are used in the shader code: gl3shader.cpp. These functions only appear in OpenGL 3.1 and to make the game run under era Apple hardware it'd have to get down to 2.0.

Seems like the Re3 (GTA III re source) is back up on github https://github.com/Starman0620/re3
