Emne: RE: [hlcoders] RE: Because forks are fun!
I've had a lot of experience modding both quake1, 2, and 3, (and of
course
hl1) that I can gather from the tools and hl2's sdk, that while hl1 is
primarily still quake, hl2 was definitely based on the hl1 engine source

LOTS of engines can read BSP trees; it doesn't make them Q1 engines by
any standard.

Talking that HL 2 is new engine from the scratch is just marketing buzz,
personally I think that at it's core it's still Q1.
Why? This is what I found out:

Half Life 1 seems like Quake 1 engine core with pluggable renderers
(SW/HW/D3D) implemented in similar way like NPRQuake
(http://www.cs.wisc.edu/graphics/Gallery/NPRQuake/) which together form
raw world engine.

There are still remaining bits of Quake 1 scaterred trough all the

The engine is new, but if something worked in Q1 Valve might have
decided to keep it. Note that it would be something very minor, and
have most of it changed.

In theory, Source isn't even related to Quake, since it is a new engine
built from the ground up by Valve. It is not even related to HL1,
besides the actual look and feel and class design that mimics HL1's, but
is totally different under the hood ;)
I'll take this opportunity while we're
Is Source DX7 compatible only so it can someday be ported to X-BOX?
(Question from one of my mod members)
Source supports DX7 because lots of people had dx7 cards in the various
steam hardware surveys we did (GF2, GF2MX, GF4MX, the original Radeon).
Also, XBOX is dx8.
