Can someone, or will someone tell me what language Witp AE is programmed in, and how to access the programming?

I doubt anyone will tell you that. The program is not open source and trying to decompile or alter it is an infringement on the terms of use.

Twelve posts in and you want to do something like that?

OK
So you think that someone with only 12 posts is a neophyte knowing nothing about the game. A person can come online here and learn a great deal about the game without getting asinine comments from some ignorant baboon and insulting someone about a question.
As far as these games are concerned, I have been playing Pacific War and War in the Pacific since they first came out. But seeing as I have only been playing AE for over a year, and made few comments online, you call me a recruit. I asked a question and not only got an answer, but a big pail of shit.
KEEP YOUR IGNORANT COMMENTS TO YOURSELF !!!

To the OP (ignoring the out-of-line stuff in this thread) - Don't really know, but would bet a beer its C and/or C++.

The devs have given the answer in the past, but considering the tone of the OP he can go find it himself in the archives.

Oh how quick you go to ad hominems ...

This doesn't change the fact that you intend on doing somethying illegal which i guess would be completely frowned upon by matrix, gg and the pbem players here. No matter how many posts you have and no matter how much you shout - the fact remains your intent is at odds to the eula and i dare say the community.

Good day ..

No.

And as others noted, decompiling it would be criminal behaviour.

Yet another one bound for The Big Green Button

I bit of an overreaction don't you think?

At which point the internet police jumps through your computer screen and gives you a ten stretch for poking around the games code...

Or, in the real world, the ACTUAL police. As stated, this is criminal.

Which won't be enforced.

Unless Matrix decides that it would better spend money lawyering up to crush people interested in the code for one of their games rather than actually develop new games.

It also leads to quite absurd situations, when companies decide to enforce EULA's, whereby you can spent more time in jail for breaking a EULA (which, in all likelyhood, you didn't even bother to read, along with everyone else) than you would for beating someone to death.

Who cares?

Just because it is not enforced it doesn´t magically transform violating intellectual property of others into something ethical. And providing a partially related extreme example does not achieve that either...

Why make so much fuss about it then? The pitchforks and lynch mob evidently is the norm on this forum for something as downright dastardly as infringement of the EULA.

Yup, helps to keep the average number of idiots, trolls and wannabe Robin Hoods at a bearable minimum...

Did you notice the point whizzing by over your head whilst you were busy being an apologist?

This game is not "abandonware", and nobody outside the developers gets to touch the code. NOBODY.

If the OP decides to start making some personalized modification to the code to see how it behaves, so what? Is he utterly wrecking the game and community as if he was marketing it as a whole new product? Does the community promptly fall apart because somebody changed the air model ever so slightly?

If the "actual" police turn up at my door because they found out I decided to poke about the C++ code for a game a few years old, then there's plenty far more pressing issues I need to worry about.

More like preserving the hive-mind mentality and ensuring that all ideas on the forum conform to those approved by the hive-mind...

I think some people need to realize that their views disagree with the views of others and reconcile themselves with that fact.

I never knew, thank you for thinking, what a relevation.

Oh, by the the way, being thick is no "PoV". And EULA is no "PoV". Obviously you are free to believe what you want, but don´t expect much support here in that topic. [8|]

Your welcome. Try it yourself. Take the plunge. Move away from the hive-mind and try to think from a different perspective.

Trust me, I don't. The idea that "some laws and agreements can be stupid and harmfull" might just be a tad too "out-there" for the mindset of many in here.
