Correct address of headquarters is needed.
I would send letter by postal mail right away if would know the correct address.
The ones in here could be outdated.

eMailing them doesn't seem to help.


R* if you read this, please consider opening the sources.

[GhostStorm]

Just thought that the blokes who have done Car Jack Streets did the first GTA so maybe find the creators of that and drop them a line

[B-$hep]

I know some contacts but they don't reply. And i don't think that any retired stuff has sources.
I have contacted them for other reasons.

But R* has the sources, so we need to contact directly to Dan or Sam Houser.
Only they can do something about it.

I will call Patricia Pucci tomorrow she is the UK PR Associate of Rockstar Games and see what she says in regards to who should be contacted. I will also contact Paul Farley Managing Director of Tag Games and ask him for some info as its 2 of Tag Games staff that created GTA 1 in the first place thats why Car Jack Streets looks just like it.

[B-$hep]

Good, let me know how it goes.

[B-$hep]

Somebody tried to get contacts for postal mail by requesting on email?

I mean send them email and ask their contact information.

GUYS, we need to get things moving on this stuff.



What are we waiting for?
I would write long letter by postal mail if i could know that the letter goes to the right people.


I want GTA(2) sources on my HDD.

When free version was released the game was fixed and recompiled. Originally it was made with MS Visual C++ 6.0, 9.6F was compiled with MS Visual C++ 7.0. Luckily with debug info, like in original EXE. They can't recompile a not existing source code and release a fixed EXE. And in 2004 DMA was already history, if not forgotten. But the sources they have are older than the Russian BUKA version. In Buka version 10.1 there are bugs fixed, that still present in GTA2 9.6F. The Rockstar version was compiled from c:\code\gta2\source\ folder, while the Buka one was compiled from c:\gbh\coop101release\ folder (it is the original version, as you can see the reference to early GTA2 name - GBH). Seems like they lost original sources.

VERY late, but obvious fix: BUKA's version is actually 10.3, cause there was an official patch released, with R* theming.

[elypter]

I don't understand that !!!

If the source if so precious that they cannot release it, why did the loose it?

[Sektor]

They might not have lost the source to the v10.3 patch, maybe just the guy who compiled the free version didn't know there was a v10.3 patch or didn't have time to track it down.

v9.6 source would be fine anyway.

I don't want see source code of old GTA games like GTA 1 and 2. I know many peoples, who can make something like GTA 1 in Game Maker.

[Suese]

Hi everyone.

I think there is already enough information about GTA 2 contributed by both Rockstar and fans to rewrite it without a full source code release. Please check out my posting http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=470606 if you are interested in a GTA 2 rewrite.

Thanks!

[chapapote]

Well, your idea should be taken on mind. If Rockstar hasn't released the code, after a lot of time being available for free download at the official website, despite all the interested people, it seems that they will never do it.

[Jyak]

Signed.

[gutscheintier]

still no outcome on this?

although i think this wont ever happen after so much time, i sign!

[1st gtaROCKER]

I signed it. They already have a free download for it, so what loss would they suffer if they release the source code? I don't have a good enough PC to play it, but I signed anyway as it would help the modding community, and everyone who plays GTA 1 and 2. I hope Rockstar listens to the 2453 people who signed the petition.

[Arsen Vitiuk]

Signed, #2510. Hope this petition will serve its purpose right and we'll see GTA source code released.

Hope always endures!

[lol232]

Signed.
Sign Number #2511.

[ccrogers15]

i signed... number 2515... but petitions never work. Sorry to say. Ive been disappointed already with the resident evil outbreak file 3 petition which reached its goal, and capcom turned it away.

[AssainGuy]

signed. i would like to get the source code for my game (in my signature to make thing clear)

[Milanium]

Nobody cares for petitions. I doubt this will ever happen. However there are efforts to reimplementing it at http://code.google.com/p/gta2net/
