Open source

Recommended Posts

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
