Many are missing the main points of this thread.

It's already been stated we do not intend to do anything illegal.
So stop with the posts about that.
There are enuff of those already.

Posting of links to sites with useless importers is also a waste of time.
Test those programs guys!
You'll find they are worthless!
And here is the reason.

Each of those Game that released or supported exporters/importers
used a Customized, by the Devs, version of Granny.

So releaseing some information that works with EVE will NOT work with
other Games.
It's like saying since this game uses dat files it should work for
SH whatever!

That's not the case!
Granny is a highly modifiable system.
Even haveing the base granny.h file from RAD is nearly useless IF the Devs
did a custom build.

That's the beauty of RAD Games system!
And it is always changeing as they should.
What worked in 2005?
That was 5 years ago!
It don't work now.

I've watched the exporters/importers for GR2 for nearly 5 years now.
I have nearly every bit of code that was released in those years.

Yes.
I can do things with the files that most can't.
But I have NO intention to release anything I have until I know for a FACT
I won't be Sued or threatened.

RAD Games is not known as a 'Patent Monger'.
So they most likely are ignoreing us, but watching.
I would take Ubi's silence as I always have.
Watching but not saying anything as doing
'Business as Usual'.

And perhaps there's something comeing down the road?
NeverWinters never released anything till sometime had passed.

On reverse engineering?
I do it all the time.
I don't release what I find very often cause that's not what I'm after.
I do it because I've been doing it since the late '70's early '80's
It's one of my oldest hobbies.
I just want to know what is working and how it works.
I gave up the Cracking stuff for release years ago.
But I still do it to learn!

Hell! I went into the Service to learn to kill people also!
But I don't do that anymore either!

Read the whole thread,
note the positions of the posters.

Let's try to keep things on track.
