Subject: fragen zu Interplay, (c), max-source, ...
About the sources - No, we don't have them. And we tryed to ask for them several years ago... Silence was the only answer.
I was studing M.A.X. internals for years, and decoded most of it data structures - maps resource file, exe internals. So, it can be called decompiling.
About modifications and extension - yes. There is some bugs in original to be coded out, some useful features is lacking, and some things (like aircraft handling, depot teleportation) made badly. Also, there wll be an extensible plugin system, to allow adding new features (Random map generator is an example).
There is no code from original in my version, Iam just doing everything from scratch.
I can say nothing about copyrights - this word is almost meaningless in Russia.
Artlav.
