#William scarboro 3d realms update

He hasn't worked here in many years, and he was someone I still kept in touch with semi regularly after he left. In fact, William was responsible for the old /EKG gib cheat in ROTT.įor me personally, it sucks because William was a good friend. He was mainly known for his work on Rise of the Triad where he worked on actor code, weapon stuff, and the gibs. He came to work here back in 1993, and was the first programmer we hired back then when we started doing in house development. He was a graduate of Texas A&M with a degree in Computer Science. He died of an asthma attack on Friday August 9th, and his funeral was today (08/19/02). Former Apogee/3D Realms programmer William Scarboro has died. Well, I have a bit of sad news to report, so I'll just get right to it. (10/27/02) - Probably should have done this two years ago, but this page is closed and will no longer be updated. I'm sure if he were still with us, William would be happy to see this out there, and see what folks might do with the code. We are dedicating the release of the Rise of the Triad Source code to our late friend and Rise of the Triad programmer William Scarboro, who died tragically back in early August of 2002. Today we're releasing the source code to Rise of the Triad! The source is being released under the GPL license, and we still retain copyright on the game (plus we still sell Rise of the Triad), but folks have been asking for something like this for a long time, and here it is. No, it's not Duke Nukem Forever, but something some folks on the net have been asking us to do for ages. Today we're doing something I bet most everyone out there thought we'd never do. Here's the Readme file, here's the download for the source code, and here's the official discussion forum.
