Yang is NOT dead (updated)

Well, I guess that's it then. RIP Yang. It was fun while it lasted. All we have left now are Meltdown and Duke Matcher, which both violate the GPL and promote illegal acquisition of the game files on their website. Oh, but I guess there's Megaton too...
Maybe you didn't care. Oh well.

I think even EDuke32's netcode would require port forwarding to host a server.

Are they being ported to Android from the PS1 and N64 source, or were the game files converted to EDuke32?

We did not have access to the original source materials of the ports, but after careful reverse engineering, our port will be no less legitimate than the much-loved Sonic 1, 2, and CD remakes on mobile platforms.

I was looking through old posts and I found this thread again. Just wanted to say in case anyone cared, that Yang went back online 1 or 2 years ago. The website and server are back up with literally no changes to the site, not even a status update in recognition of the hiatus. Yang is currently able to serve games but is not being maintained, not that it needs maintainence because it is a very stable and simple client. No piracy, no admin rights required, no GPL violation. Yang is the place to play. Yang-online.com

If it was up, it's now down again.
Does anyone have the source code for yang, or does anyone have an email for the Author(s)?
I would like to be able to give it the ability to run zipped maps, since Eduke32 can run maps in zip format.
There are some other fixes I would like to be able to make.
The About dialog window just has NY00123 as the author, and Turrican as the maintainer.

You can find my most recent forum post in the YANG thread here: https://forums.duke4...post__p__373557
You'll basically want to go to the downloads page at nukemnet.com if you want to use a modification of YANG, hYANG (hex-edited by Hunter). Replica stopped hosting for YANG, and aaBlueDragon offered to host the YANG service instead.
I currently think it's better to let other options be available as alternatives, with YANG not receiving development. I gave StrikerTheHedgefox a chance to inspect the code base in the past, and we both felt that it was far from "easy" to extend the code base.
