      IF someone were to start making a serious multiplayer EVish thing, would they get access to the source code to EV/O/N? Or would they be forced to re-write the engine entirely?

      Heh..doubt it. I don't think Ambrosia would give the source to anyone, unless they had a VERY good design document outlining the modifications, previous game development experience and some sort of funding. Even that might not be enough.

      I'm not even going to dignify this with a reply (other than this one).

      Oh don't mind Matt. He's probably really stressed out by Nova right now. 😛

      AmbrosiaSW would never license the code to anyone unless they had a very formal business deal kinda thing. If you emailed them with some vague idea about EVMP, you would never get it.

      Unless you own a company and, like someone said, have programming experience, funding, ETC you are not going to get your hand on the EV Source code. Sorry.

      Whoops, apparently I gave the impression I -wanted- the source code -- the day I learn enough C or Dylan or something to write an EVMP would be the day monkeys flew out of my butt. 🙂
