I was more into the Source stuff, I was too young for Goldsrc. I miss Sourceforts, the Hidden and Dystopia.

Ever played Research and Development?

It's been more than 20 years since Half-Life came out, anon.

Anyone got that GoldSrc mod chart? feeling quite nostalgic.

>>16276335

Vampire Slayer, you say? That's probably it. The only specific thing I remember is that the main menu theme was Moonlight Sonata. Ring a bell?

i really like the style that every sourcegame/mod has, how do they do it?

Shribberty Shamrocks me lad, access the mod files irland has them

>>>/source/23

I made this thread a very long time ago. Made a quick review of some of the mods I knew at the time.

>>16277199

Brainbread has Moonlight Sonata.

Heart of Evil and Poke646 were probably some of my favorites, haven't played any HL mods in a long time though. I also remember liking Scientist Hunt because it was retarded.

Valve should make GoldSrc Open source.

>OpenSrc

A man can dream.

There's a guy on Facepunch making a Garry's mod with scripting and modern rendering support. He's writing it in Vulkan from scratch and using Bullet for physics. What neat is he's made it compatible with source engine map and model formats.

Unfortunately it's closed source and is updated very slowly.

Masterpiece

They're pretty much the mods themselves slapped onto the Android port of XashFWGS because, surprise surprise, mobilefags are retarded and don't know how to launch HL mods. FWGS is mainly for crossplatform, Xash3D itself (look it up on ModDB) just werks with almost all of the mods out there, but as of right now the multiplayer needs some polish as it was implemented not long ago. At this point I play HL with Xash only.

>>16278537

It is. The license is just not "open".

>>16274611

Fuck, I loved Science and Industries. That was my first autism game where I went the full try-hard route even when it only had a couple of hundred players left. Mental if you look at it from the outside.

Another obscure mod I remember was Wasteland, some fallout post-apocalypse death match / team deatch match game with probably less than a thousand players world wide. I never saw more than three servers up at all.

Valve should release source 2.0 without a fucking game and herald a modding Renaissance with it.

>>16294786

Only if it doesn't have any proprietary dependencies, there's unfortunately a lot of that with games and engines. PunkBuster from Doom 3, and EAX in Jedi Academy spring to mind.

>>16294684

What terms? Because non-commercial only is a serious liability in terms of if it can be used to make new games. Not such an issue for mods but with there already being things like idtech4 and GZDoom, why would you?

>>16274611

Do you mean anti-cheat systems? I can only recall punkbuster being such system, but given that steam has VAC, I can't imagine them adding anything else beside it.

>>16278537

People have been yelling at Valve for fucking years to open source GoldSrc.

The few remaining modders that actually give a shit pretty much email Valve constantly about it hoping that maybe one day we'll get someone on the inside that cares enough to work on doing so, or dumb enough to just give us the source code. Unfortunately though usually we a met with either silence, or them telling us to "Just use Source, it's better".

At this point I honestly just long for the day someone leaks Valve's shit again. Fuck them.
