Hi guys;
Now this is a blast from the past! I discovered a Taleworlds notification while tweaking some email filters and had a look at this thread - I see that there is some confusion!
Neither Mat nor I have been active in developing this for several years. There was some interest from other members of the community over 2014 - some people reached out to Mat and I was copied in on the messages. The gist of them was that he was too busy to work on this and was happy for others to continue development as long as everything was attributed correctly.
Personally, I don't have a problem with people reusing parts of the code in their own work, either - I'm going to assume that Mat is happy with that, too, considering that we had chosen a BSD 2-clause license to cover our work (
here, basically just means 'use what you want, how you want, but include attribution in the form of the license.txt'). That doesn't necessarily cover everything included, though - the module system itself is property of Taleworlds and the other projects used are the property of their authors and retain their original licenses and copyrights. We can speak for only the resources unique to the Gathering Storm mod.
I've set-up the website to redirect to a new repository on GitHub,
here, that includes all the source files and full commit history. The assets are
here, as stated in the README file they are not included with the repository. Note that I did rewrite the commit history to clean things up and reduce the size of the repository!
If you want to start with Git, I'd suggest the
GitHub Windows client. There are plenty resources out there for learning how to use it - see
here,
here,
here or
here.
If anybody can edit Mat's original post to reflect all that new information, please do! I've redirected the website
here to the GitHub repository and have included most of the necessary information in there, alongside a clone of Mat's post.
I likely won't be returning to develop this, though I'm not sure about Mat - he might come back for Bannerlord!
