OpenSource
A utility for loading and rendering many Source VBSP maps together as a single giant mesh. It can be used to see how big the game world is, just for amusement.
Current status
This branch is a work-in-progress reimplementation of original OpenSource in bare C. It should be generally stable. However, it still has a lot of visual glitches and is not ready for any use outside development yet. See issues.
If you wish, you could check out the old branch for the 5 years old version that was used for Half-Life 1 merging.
What works
- It builds and runs on Windows, Linux/X11 and Raspberry Pi (bare vc libs, w/o X11); No macOS support yet, stay tuned.
- VBSP format version 19 and 20, most of the maps from these games:
- Half-Life: Source
- Half-Life 2
- Half-Life 2: Episode One
- Half-Life 2: Episode Two
- Portal
- Basic support for the following map features:
- Face geometry
- Displacements
- Base[0] textures
- DXT1/3/5 textures
- Reading VPK2 files
- Reading materials from pakfile lumps
What doesn't (yet)
- Portal 2. It uses VPK version 1 (see #36) and seems to use different mechanism for maps transitions.
Streaming
Development is done almost entirely live. I usually stream every Thursday at 22:00 NOVT (15:00 GMT), but there are also some occasional sudden and unplanned streams.
