Is it actually missing the engine? That looked like it was there when I skimmed a couple of the repos
Missing assets is pretty common when they open source commercial games, the rights of the art is often more complicated than just doing the game code.
But not resources
It requires more vespene gas!
What gas? Your ass is full of tiberium! :)
They released the engines for the games minus 3rd party libraries they didn’t have rights to. Working builds were available within a day of the code being released as people found copies or wrote replacements for the missing code.
Thats awesome!
I wonder how hard it would be to make some minimal placeholder resources/assets, sufficient to build the game and for it to run, even if it won’t look good or be particularly playable.

I like it when the only useful piece of information is missing: github.com/electronicarts
The resources are missing but you could already have those everywhere else on the internet.

Now what’s missing is where will all the fans and modders hang around :-)
I sure hope we’ll get some nice rehashing out of this!
