BFME 1 Source Code

Goal: rebuild BFME 1’s retail executable byte for byte from source, and use that source to fix and improve the game.

Join our Discord to participate!

What?

We rewrite the game’s code as C++, one small piece at a time.
Each piece must rebuild to the exact bytes of the original game exe (BFME 1, version 1.03).
When every piece matches and links, the whole game is open source, and we can fix bugs and make mods.

What the bars measure

Rebuilt from source: code rebuilding to the original exe’s exact bytes, partly generated code or prebuilt libraries.
Game code in C++: the game’s own code (no libraries) in C++.
Linking: that code in files that link cleanly (link census).
