A friend of mine and I have begun work on reimplementing HL2 on the AlienSwarm
engine. We have set up a SVN, got first person working, and we about to
reimplement GCF loading through hllib. We have confirmed that GCF support is
gone. If anyone is interested in helping out on our project
GCF support is missing?
The more I see of this, the more I'm starting to suspect that this is
going to become a UDK-like product (ie licensing of engine binaries,
for use in games, rather than the full engine source)...

I'm surprised about GCF support being missing but I guess it makes sense
since Valve's last big two releases both had moved to .vpk archives.

Speaking of the VPK format. How much of the add-on system is available in

You're on trecharous legal ground here. Alien Swarm and its SDK are free for
EVERYONE - not just owners of Source games like before. Valve didn't include
HL2 content or code for a reason!
On that subject, how suitable is the game for TC mods? It's simple enough to
bring its code back to FPS,
Personally, I think Valve didn't release the HL2 code to show that
Source isn't based on HL2, and is as flexible as any other engine, but
Tom's right, I'd speak to Valve before you release any HL2 code
publicly.

That simply isn't true. If another user of the computer owns HL2 then the GCFs

Requiring HL2 to be installed makes your whole effort redundant anyway! It's

No. S2009 is CS:S, TF2, DOD:S and the HL2 games.

If GCF support is gone, you won't be able to just load resourses using a third
party GCF handler. The engine and filesystems deal with loading, unloading, and
precache. Not to mention models get unloaded and reloaded on the fly depending
on certain things, at least with my experience in

Anyway i was wondering why the Source SDK is a bit well R-Tarded at the moment?
I mean why are most of the games all the 2009 Engine, none in the 2007 and i
think its Hl2 deathmatch that is in 2006 by itself. Is there any logic behind
It doesn't. It just wants to be loved.

VPK/Addons are no surprise as Valve have said GCF is being dropped,
and the menu system is entirely gamecode, but Squirrel support is
convincing as it doesn't seem to actually be used by the game.
I still can't quite believe that Valve would persist with two
separately-maintained branches
They should drop the GCF in all source games, but it doesn't seem like this is

something?

Yes, that would be the problem. It must be a bug in the SDK Wizard.
No, the content you copied is not useful. There are some script files
that you do need though - at this point you are best to delete
everything and start again.
