Where can I find the source code for 2.25? I’ve looked round Blender.org, and can only seem to find a combined source code download for 2.27.
As this doesn’t have the working game engine, I would like to find a complete download of 2.25 without having to drag every thing out of the Blender repositories.
Could anybody point me in the right direction please? Linux verison is preferable.
Thanks

After searching the forums for the last hour, I have found a link to the source code modules for the previous releases at Blender.org.

For those of you who might need this.

some of 2.25 isnt open source i.e the game engine (colision detection and such)
No way! This is the reason I wanted 2.25. Everyother version has the game engine disabled. :< It is there in the source code CVS repositories at blender.org, Game engine has it’s own directory as does the kernel etc.
Is there no work around or a new version with the game engine intact?
The source code is needed rather than a precompiled version.

If you enable the gameengine it will build and work, however the functionality won’t be complete.
The only thing that won’t work are sensors that use SOLID (the collision detection library)
Unfortunately, the sensors that use SOLID are the interesting ones:
Touch, collision, near, radar and ray (I think)
If you set the Physics to ODE in world buttons, stuff will collide, you just can’t detect it.

Wait! That doesnt sound right. doesnt NAN have to release all of the source code for blender to be a GNU GPL licence? or is there something im missing?
The code that’s in CVS is more about other things like the game logic code. As alien-xmp mentioned, the critical part that’s missing is the collision detection code. NaN didn’t write their own code for this, they licensed an external commercial tool called Solid. Since NaN didn’t own Solid, they obviously can’t release it as open source with the rest of the Blender source code.
It’s not a matter of the game engine being intentionally disabled, just to screw with everyone or something, it’s just that the critical code is not there.
The good news is that Solid’s author has decided to release it as Open Source later this year. It was originally planned for July, but it seems it has now been postponed to around October to (I think) co-incide with a book he’s writing.

No, since you need Solid v3, which isn’t open source. All the game engine source code is available, minus Solid. It’s also impossible to somehow release a precompiled version including Solid, since under the terms of the GPL, if you distribute binaries, you must also make source code available, which is impossible since Solid is not open source yet.
Hang in there for a few months, it’s coming.
