Source Question

[^eleK]

Does anyone know how much of the source was leaked? As a perspective lead programmer on a mod team, this whole thing has me a bit worried. In any case i've heard stories what anywhere from all of the source right down to just the sound and physics systems. BBC is reporting the latter. I'm just hoping that none of the rendering systems or AI systems were grabbed. Those would be the things that the hackers would be into getting ahold of the most for the cheating purposes.


Thanks for any info you can give me.

well, the physics engine is a prettty steep loss, but the sound system is doubtfully proprietary if those were the only two main things taken. i think the rendering parts and the ai parts were the real rick for prospective cheaters... i'll be REALLY glad if they didnt get those parts... we shall see i guess. there's not much you can do w/ cheats as far as sound and physics go. the physics are probably all going to be serverside if they're in multiplay at all. (UT2k3 just had standard animations for online play because they didnt want to have the server doing all the physics calculations...) there's really not much someone could do with sound i wouldnt think...

any thoughts?
