I've given thought to modding the entities on some HL2 single player maps so that I can run them on a HL2 death match server. I and others have done this with HL1 and OP4 sucessfully. Anyone remember Cucamongas Chunk Of Plegm? However- with HL1 and OP4, the sp maps were available to the server, so either there were no legal issues with doing this, or Valve choose not to make an issue of it. With HL2, the sp maps are not distributed with HL2MP, so I'd have to copy them over. Therein lies the problem - can anyone see a potential legal problem doing this? IE, would Valve send the land sharks after me for doing this, or is this just a bad idea?
I'm guessing that if you can get HL2-death match without owning HL2, then this could be a problem because someone with HL2MP only would have access to HL2SP content. Any care to offer their thoughts on this topic? FYI map modification consists of only editing the entities in the map - removing sp specific entities, and adding spawn points, weapons, ammo, and maybe a few other entities. There is no decompile/edit/recompile of the map. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
