   Hi...begging codes from a book
  Hi All,I'm buying Tricks of the 3D game programming gurus Advanced 3D Graphics and rasterization from ebay, well since this book is out of print, i tried to check on amazon, but the market place sell it for more than 400$. I'm lucky to find this book on eBay with the CD. However, the post office or custom office in my country seems working really "Hard", they smashed my package, and when i open, the cd is cracked. It's no longer could be read in my computer. I tried to  contact the publisher, but they said the book is out of print indefinitely and they can't replace my CD. :'( :'( :'(Here i am, asking you, my fellow newbie or senior. Please give me Only the source code from the CD. I save 3 months of my side job salary(i live in developed country, so 50$ is extremely expensive) just to buy this book, but when i finally have this book, the cd is destroyed. :'( :'(Here, i give you the picture of my book. I really own this book, and i really own the cd, but the cd is broken because actions of irresponsible people!!!Thanks for hearing me out. :) :)
  You can buy a used copy from Amazon for 24 USDs.  The only thing that you can't find online or in the book is the royalty free stock media.  Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.   ;  I can't help but since you actually posted a picture of the cracked CD, I really hope someone here can.   ;Quote:Original post by hehezzzgukgukI tried to  contact the publisher, but they said the book is out of print indefinitely and they can't replace my CD. :'( :'( :'(Does that make it legal to copy the CD? Serious question.   ;  The author of that book is one of the staff at gameinstitute.com. You could try emailing him using the email address on this page. He might still have a copy of the code.I think our own Gaiiden also works for Game Institute, and he might be able to help you get in contact with the author.   ;  I own a copy of this book and the CD.  PM me and I can help you out.   ;Quote:Original post by DevFredQuote:Original post by hehezzzgukgukI tried to  contact the publisher, but they said the book is out of print indefinitely and they can't replace my CD. :'( :'( :'(Does that make it legal to copy the CD? Serious question.Hey, i believe that, if you purchase a book with cd, and when u open the cd, it's proven broken, u can contact them(the publisher) for replacement. So, i think it's legal[Edited by - hehezzzgukguk on June 4, 2010 10:49:48 PM];  We don't allow this sort of thing here -- many of our members are authors and make money from the proper sale of these materials, and trading copies with other people isn't legal.  I can only suggest trying to find another copy or seeing if you can contact one of the authors.  Good luck. [smile]
