Any available open source projects that use the DLL?

[Waverian]

I was wondering if anybody knew of any currently available source code for applications using the Ultima DLL.

I know what it is, and how to use it.. I've browsed the class names, method names and their arguments, but I'm still at a loss for some of the things the methods available in the dll can actually do...

So if anybody got any examples or sources for said applications, it'd be appreciated. :P

[TheOutkastDev]

which methods?

[Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams]

The source code is an extremely valuable, uh, source of information on how it works.

[punt59]

I believe one can get the source on www.orbsydia.com.

[Waverian]

Oh.. The source for the dll itself is available?

Heh, that'll definitely do. :P

Thanks for the input, and to punt for the link.

I think the house builder went opensource back in the 'day'...

[Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams]

I saw the licence as being the GPL but I didn't see any source, which is of course a violation of the GPL.

[FallsUpStairs]

No, it would be a violation of the GPL if you requested the source and they would not provide it. It doesn't necessarily need to be readily available...

[Ravatar]

The ultima SDK is unlicenced.

I think Ignacio is talking about UO Architect, but I could be wrong.

[Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams]

No, I meant House Builder. And it does violate Clause 3 of the GPL.

[FallsUpStairs]

If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

What exactly does it violate...?

[Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams]

Well, he was violating it last time I looked, but that admittedly was a long time ago. In the interim he has offered/released the source code, so now he just has to deal with Clause 1.

And just for the record, it was this part of Clause 3 that he was in violation of:

3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

Look right after that. It's an acception (what I posted).

So, all he's breaking now is not including the License (Clause 1)?

Either way, who cares.

I'm gonna start coding tools in the UO:SDK, and I won't be a dick with licensing!

[Revan]

yeah, uh..
I could give you the source for UO Thong if you wanted..
It's pretty simple and I guess a good example if you want to get started
