Ubi/RSE feedback on GR SDK petition?

[Rebar-5R]

The petition to release a SDK for GR:
http://www.petitiononline.com/GR1SDK/petition.html

has reached 666 signatures. Clearly the desire for the SDK is strong within the community.

I'm sure that all the parties in Ubi/RSE are aware of the petition. The question now is - will we get it, or not?

Please, someone from Ubi/RSE tell us if we can expect the SDK, or any other tools, will be released, if so in what timeline.

I can't say yes or no to our request, but informal discussions with people who will remain nameless has said that the powers that be at RSE are aware of out request, but does not think we will get much if anything. He even gave me reasons as to why. I posted my comments on it at GR.net.

for whatever my opinion is worth i think this would be a good call for both UBI and RSE. RSE would once again be receiving the praise they deserve for being so cool. But how would it help UBI? well the community would be revived by the new wave of mods which would lead to more hype for GR3. plus let the fans make the GR2 that we deserve, i know there are a lot of skilled modders out there that can do the job right.

[WhiteKnight77]

Don't get me wrong, I would like for RSE to be able to release some more of the tools that were used for GR1, The community would really love it and it would keep GR1 going, but as far as source code, I don't see it happening as it is the base for all past games and all present games. RSE tweaks it more and more for each version, especially since new DirectX code is implenented into it (I am guessing here, but I would have to say it to be true), not to mention newer graphics coding.

Here's to hoping that we get something for our loyalty. http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/25.gif

asking for an SDK IMO is way to late, this game is old now, seen many mods without an SDK and ubi/red strom are working on GR3. I dont think they will release the resources to create an SDK for GR.
Maybe the petition should of been to include one with GR3?

The mod community begged for an SDK for GR when it was new. One was promised for RvS upon it's release. I think their track record speaks for itself.

[Prozac360]

wont happen, there no reason they have to give us a SDK. They made the game they own it and can keep it to themselfs if they want.

would be nice thoe

[Rebar-5R]

I really wish that an offical answer, yes or no, would be given. Just for this one subject, can we get a straight answer?

[Prozac360]

ill answer for them, no.

[Rebar-5R]

I really wish that an offical answer, yes or no, would be given.

[PoW_LigHtsPeEd]

nah, go with prozacs reply.

that will be as close you get to an official reply,

[PoW_LigHtsPeEd]

if not his, then mine. And I'll give you 2 so you're happy either way.

"No, you will not get the SDK."

"Yes, we will not be releasing the SDK."

[Rebar-5R]

I really wish that an offical answer, yes or no, would be given.

Really, why do some people feel the need to chime in when it's inappropriate to do so? If they're going to say no, let THEM say it.

[Prozac360]

let it go rebar... it wont happen.

[BSR_Dude]

They've never released an SDK for any FPS they've published. It just ain't gonna happen Rebar.

[Rebar-5R]

If it's not going to happen, let them come here, and say so to their fans.

[Prozac360]

think of white knight as somewhat of a middle man...

thats as close to a real answer you will get

[MiRaGe..]

well good luck getting an answer

[PoW_LigHtsPeEd]

OK, Rebar - obviously you are new to these forums or you havent been around much.

This is a forum for the players of GR to dixcuss stuff, with a couple of Forum 'UBI' representatives thrown in for good measure.

But the reality is, UBI duznt actually post anything here, or pass on any info to anyone here, so we are speaking on their behalf cos they wont.

You will not get your SDK. End of story.

Interesting thread, and petition. Can you guys give me some more information about it to pass on please? Like when it started, where it was promoted, etc. The more the merrier http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[Rebar-5R]

Thanks for taking an interest UbiRazz.

Well, it started with the news that GR2 for the PC was cancelled. It was suggested that, since GR lived so long due to modding, a SDK would extend it even longer, at least until GR3/PC is released. Here's the thread that got the petition started:
GR.net petition thread (http://www.ghostrecon.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=25528)
It's been promoted on the front page of GR.net:

and on other forums.

Thanks for the interest Razz. Maybe you can pass word on that while an SDK would be nice, modder would at least like some more of the tools that RSE used for GR1.
