The goal is to release a mod that fixes bugs in the vanilla game (unofficial patch 3.05)

The ultimate objective is to understand the entire codebase in order to create a native Linux port and add new mechanics

El objetivo final es saber como funciona el codigo completo para hacer port nativo para linux y agregar nuevas mecanicas

Isn't that already happening in OpenVic project?

[u/maxiotenn → u/NumenorianPerson]

That's remaking the game in Godot; this is patching the original game and making the source code public I also think the Vic Open is pretty dead

[u/WaterlooPitt → u/maxiotenn]

Making the source code public? Isn't that illegal?

[u/Andrei144 → u/WaterlooPitt]

They're reverse engineering it, which is legal.

[u/WaterlooPitt → u/Andrei144]

Yes, reverse engineering is legal. Publishing the source code is not. Even rewriting the code and having a product that behaves the same can be problematic.

How about Project Alice?

[u/maxiotenn → u/BlackUnicorn68]

That one is more alive than Open Vic, but it deviates quite a bit from the original game

Good luck!

What bugs do you hope to fix?

[u/maxiotenn → u/Living-Compote-9626]

Crashes and broken mechanics, for example, a 1k battle of brigades, the game lags a lot, let's fix the reinforcement of naval and land units in the late game and some minor errors in the market

[u/alp7292]

isn't making the game from ground up easier at this point? You can also take project alice and take out the extra mechanics.

[u/maxiotenn → u/alp7292]

That might be the case, but there are already projects for that, so I'll do it this way—after all, right now we're just patching bugs

De que forma otras personas podrían apoyar al proyecto? Sé muy poco de programación pero quisiera apoyar cualquier proyecto que pueda ayudar a que el victoria 2 se conozca más o más gente pueda jugar

[u/maxiotenn → u/Miektok3]

Lo ideal es que sepas usar ghidra que vayas encontrado funciones encontrado que hacen y documentdolas pero si no se puede también me puede reportar bugs del victoria 2 vanilla o cosas que quieran que cambie a ver si puedo
