DOWN WITH ACRONYMS!!! TYPE OUT THE WORDS!!!
hey man, heard of 'file attributes', right click on the file in question...and attributes will be at bottom...
yes, man, I have heard of file attributes. I checked. Read-only wasnt checked. It prolly has to do with settings made in MSVC itself.

Go into DOS open EDIT open your file. Edit it. “save as” a file name of your choice. (Not the original filename.) Go back into Windows. Change the name of the original file. Change the name of your edited file to the original filename.
q3a quake3 correct me if this isn't what your talking about but the quake3 source code (graphics engine) costs $500000+ do you mean the quake1 source.........right click the file goto properties and uncheck read only......

Major Danby replied indugently with a superior smile: 'But, Yossarian, suppose everyone felt that way.'
'Then,' said Yossarian, 'I'd certainly be a damned fool to feel any othe way wouldn't I?'
Nah man, I think he means the Q3A source. I've seen it too....but i'm not gonna attempt to edit it...whew it's huge.
I wish DOS could stay around forever! Much better than that windows program everyone is using.Quote:

Q3 source code is available, but you need to lay down the cash if you want to lisence it. Ive seen it too.

I dont think you have to pay for it. you can download it, its free to MOD authors... unless you are talking about the actual graphics engine then yes, you have to pay for it.
We're talking about 2 different things here, the q3a GAME source is available for download and free. This is for mod authors. The full source code, for game developers, including the rendering engine code and things like that is around $350k plus 8% of whatever your game sells.
thats what I was talking about. I downloaded the Quake 2 source way back then and it was rather interesting. I wouldnt want to even dare to look at the engine code. https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/5.gifQuote:
