HL1 source code

Do you think that valve ever will opensource HL1? It would be nice, but I'm not so sure about it personally...

I don't think so. But anyway they don't need by it anymore. They now have the Source Engine and can fun with it.

So they will never update the HL1 engine so maybe they can let us to update it

Doesn't sound like something Valve would do.

Just judge by their fscking Steam DRM thingy...

And as long as we already have many engines which are free software (such as Quake 1~3, Cube, etc) and even totally free FPS games like Nexuiz, I don't think we'll need that so much anyway

The good in to the HL engine is the mod support. I don't think that many open source engines have that.

Quake 2/3 is pretty good with MODs too

100% no... lol

If you want an engine like HL, just take Quake, give it individual palettes for each texture, make a C++ mod interface, and make the map limits as high as they can go. That, 24-bit lightmaps and a client-side DLL. It's not really that different.

the half life one engine is based off of the quake one correc?

i voted no btw.

HangFire · **Re: HL1 source code -** 03-05-2006

Yes, its based off of Quake 1's engine.

then it shouldnt be to hard to modify quake.
