So even if OpenLocomotion was given a green light by the copyright holder, they would probably try to find ways of making money off it too. Couple that to the game still being sold on GOG.com, and it doesn't look like something they plan on letting go of any time soon.

However if you can produce a memorandum of agreement from the various license holders to abandon all of their rights in respect of Locomtion then I suspect the prormotion of an open version of the game would be looked at by the online community because until that point there are several parties with very vested interests in continuing to draw income from the publishing of this title.ДЈ04 001 wrote:Even if Atari don't care about Locomotion, the fact that somebody took the trouble to release the game on Steam last year, shows that one or more copyright holders think that there is still money to be made from it 12 years down the road.

So without an agreement with 'Atari' to deal with that aspect and make Locomotion open play you will forfeit your current rights to use the existing game and that means you are technically guilty of what amounts to software piracy.Д«ut since this subject is realistically nothing more than an exercise in wishful thinking until someone can convince the current copyright holders across all of the various licensing agreements and software platforms to abandon all of their rights to the code or otherwise and all IPR rights to the game, it is a dead letter and thus not worthy of discussion. At that point, its just code conversion.Д«ut the issue remains of copyright and since the current copyright holders for this game are still making money off of it they are hardly going to abandon it and that is the key because you will have to decompile the coding to complete the code conversion and that is forbidden within the terms of the current EULA. It may be assembly, but Chris wouldn't re-code the entire engine from scratch just for Loco. The project would not be starting from scratch as the github for OpenRCT2 would at least be a starting point on where to look first, if nothing is compatible. There is also the fact that both games use the same, identical engine with different calls. The game files are still required and is, as a result, fair use (still requires an official copy of the game.) Its only an engine rewrite, not a complete release. It would be nice because the first place of attack would be to remove some of the games more obvious limits or failings within the gameplay aspects and that requires modification of the EXE.file, but since the policy of this forum is that we respect the integrity of that item that would only happen IF 'Atari' and it's successors abandoned their claim to the copyright of this game and since the game is still making money through sales and of course the Steam version that will not happen in the short to medium term. It has been discussed on several occasions before, and since the original creator has shown little interest in the project since it's release and Atari itself is broken down into a myriad of different license holders, you would be in for a hard slog to find a starting point to get over the existing copyright and IPR issues. This thread is ENTIRELY subjective and, personally, TTD in general is too clunky and OpenTTD hasn't improved that (coming from a person that enjoyed Simcity 2k) Considering how well OpenRCT2 is turning out and the fact that Locomotion and RCT2 use identical engines, would anyone even be interested in this?
