As some of you know, there's a closed source version of GunGame out.
As others of you may know, the "developer" vehemently refuses to release his source.
Because of this, their plugin has been blacklisted from amxmodx.
Well, they thought they would be clever by getting around the loose load blocking.
Here's my response:
The fully decompiled source code. It matches opcode-for-opcode to his .amxx file, all memory offsets are identical as well.
Some of the static data may be off (to be completely honest I didn't test the actual gameplay of the plugin at all).
Note: This is
NOT his copy of his source code. Mine has none of his comments, and not his own style of code. What it DOES have is code that will generate an exact replica of his plugin.
Now for the best part:
"Live", the author of the plugin, claims that his is better. He mentions on his page that "the AMX version is buggy, and we would prefer you use ours", and that his is referred to as "the stable GunGame". (The "AMX version" being Avalanche's open source version)
Well, Live ripped a lot of code from Avalanche, and a little bit of code from others.
It was plainly obvious when I was dealing with Live's original code (a dead giveaway is all of Live's original variables are all lower case with no underscores) and when I was dealing with somebody else's code that he had ripped.
What else did I learn?
Live is an awful developer. If you're familiar with plugins at all, take a look at the source code and laugh a bit. Remember: This is an authentic replica of his code, it's not something I'm making up. Everything stupid in the source code, he does in his plugin.
Places that I know for sure Live ripped:
- GunGame AMXX by XxAvalanchexX: Live ripped the entire stats system, gungame_print and precache_sound_by_cvar
- Random Weapons by Deviance (aka Doombringer): Live ripped the "get_ammotype" stock.
- A very old AMX plugin called "no swearing" by xeroblood: The say text parsing.
- And he used VEN's Fakemeta utility function "fm_cs_user_spawn", not exactly a rip, but he didn't credit at all.
Those are just the places I know for a fact he ripped from. I'm
sure there's more.
Note: To compile the plugin to test it out (I don't know why you would want to, when his version is so shoddy) remove the #error at the beginning.
You can also test the authenticity of the op codes by disassembling my replica and the original with amxxdump.
The karma system is always in full effect.
