.Tom Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 It would be nice if the client injected dll and/or server executable were open source. I understand that allowing people to host their own dedicated server (would be a side effect of this suggestion) has been previously declined I believe open source would bring many benefits to truckers MP. Possible benefits: - Attracts more programmers who can contribute to truckers MP and possibly improve it - For example it would make it possible for a theoretical third party to port truckerMP to linux - Could possibly allow people to write client side mods to improve quality of live (e.g. a mod that shows all of your VTCs positions and jobs in the global map) - Allows people to write their own plugins - Allows people to host their own dedicated servers with custom plugins - People are able to learn from your code Possible downsides: - Allows people to host their own dedicated servers - May cause an influx of modders as they would not need to reverse engineer client dll and/or networking protocol This is merely a suggestion and I would love to hear other peoples thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Calvin Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Not possible. The intent of the mod is MMO, if people get to set up their own servers, the player base will likely be spread out thinner and the map will be even more empty. //Rejected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
