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 Linux/X11 and Raspberry Pi (bare vc libs, w/o X11); No Windows or 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 (Portal 2 wasn't tested yet)
• Basic support for the following map features:
  • Face geometry
  • Displacements
  • Base[0] textures
  • DXT1 textures
  • Reading VPK files
  • Reading materials from pakfile lumps

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.
