Sierra Source Codes?
« on: August 12, 2016, 03:21:43 PM »
I have the source code (or at least a replicated version) for SQ4 and 5 from somewhere on this site (forgive me, I've forgotten who was kind enough to provide it :(), but I've seen forum posts that would suggest someone has access to the source to SQ3? Is there any way I could get my hands on the source to other games, specifically SQ3 and 6?

I ask because I have fun "dissecting" these sorts of games, and I've pretty much exhausted my usage of SQ2 since AGI code is so easily accessible.

Or perhaps I'm incorrect, and the posts "suggesting" the source for 3 was available were simply taken from analyzing the disassembly, which I'm absolutely inept at?

I don't intend to USE the code, per se, so much as I enjoy reading it, odd as that may sound.

I used SQ as my examples because that is Very Much My Thing but I will gladly take code from other franchises too.

SCI Companion includes a decompiler these days; it is quite easy to use. The source code you mention was obtained in this way.

What he said. The source for almost every SCI game is available, if you decompile it yourself. When you do it do it multiple times so that variable/function names etc are labeled properly. Decompile at least three times.

Oh, wow! I don't know how I missed this function. It's exactly what I'm looking for and works amazingly!
Thank you very much for your help :)

I'll need to decompile them myself and see how they work. I've been waiting for that ability for over 14 years! :D

For decompiling, use the SCI Companion link here:

It's got some fixes that the official release does not.
