  • mtasa-blue

    Multi Theft Auto is a game engine that incorporates an extendable network play element into a proprietary commercial single-player game.

    Project mention: Open source but but commercial use is paid | /r/opensource | 2023-05-15

    If the code is compiled, you'd have to pull a few more tricks. But to be fair that is also an issue even if your code is not source available - people can (and do) decompile closed-source programs and hack on them. My personal favourite of that is https://multitheftauto.com/ where the community reverse engineered GTA San Andreas to add multiplayer

  • Phobos

    Ares-compatible C&C Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge engine extension

    Project mention: [Tiberian sun] Downloading mods | /r/commandandconquer | 2023-05-03

    I downloaded Ion Shock and ran it through Bitdefender's scanning and it didn't get any hits. Just from my observation, it appears to be a mod sort of hacked together from the CnCNet client and seems to be packing the trifecta of exe patches in Kratos, Phobos, and (of course) Ares? That's not to say there couldn't be something nasty thrown into the mix for runtime but I'm a bit too lazy to get it actually running just to check that out.

  • MetaHookSv

    MetaHook (https://github.com/nagist/metahook) porting for SvEngine (GoldSrc engine modified by Sven-Coop)

    Project mention: I Made Full English Subtitles for Half-Life: Echoes | /r/HalfLife | 2023-05-24

    https://github.com/hzqst/MetaHookSv/releases/tag/v20230524a You can download them here and quick install with MetahookSV! Do know that the other plugins need work/testing, so I just recommend using CaptionMod.dll. The install also includes a file for Closed Captions you can use via renaming, but I consider that a work in progress until I get feedback from someone who didn't write every single caption.
