Half Life 2 leaked Thread

Well the source code anyway.

This friggin sucks, someone @ halflife2.net is posting that they have the source engine code, and they do.

NUKED

Valve are so gonna be pissed, this blows chunks :*(

NOTE COULD BE FAKE, however it compiles.

It compiles, yes, but like you said, it could be fake. There is so much hoopla (sp?) over this game and it's delay that people wil believe anything, and it's possible this person was just being an ass. Either way, valve is going to shit bricks.

if ($valve == $pissed) { .enable #brick_shitting | halt }
else { .kill $name }

They attached some of the code and its very real.

Some of the real coders on that forum have confirmed its real.

This is great for freeware developers, bad for valve and havok.

guy wrote: Okay, I've been reading through that code abit .. and it's very probably real.
Heck, just look at the vphysics part .. it's about raycasted vehicles (Gabe talked about this in an interview a while back)

If this is a fake, this is a very, very detailed fake. (and I'm inclined to think that it's real, as a coder myself)

Edit:
Good point, this might be the SDK.
And as far as I know modders will have alot of control over Source, as far as programming your own pixel shaders.
That might explain direct DX9 access.

/me faints

Its real, comfirmed.

Valve are in deep shit.

Why are they in deep shit? They're probably going to be pissed.

Somewhere there is a 45 year old guy sitting at a computer in his moms basement laughing his head off.
The same guy who spent many hours writing a couple hundred lines of code and naming files...

Or someone leaked the SDK.

Half-Life 2 isn't finished so there is no way that source code includes full steam support, so you can't just compile it you need to rewrite a lot of it to remove its steam dependency.

It could very well be finished, they are just touching things up and bug testing. If the game had chunks missing like you're letting on, they would have announced the delay long ago.

It is real, HL2 is complete, steam and changing puzzles are the only thing that need finialising.

heres a code snipping

Maybe they handed the source to the ESF or DMZ kiddies :x

Well, even if it is, if they wanna play they are gonna have to authorize through Steam, and valve has probably tagged all current builds so they can easily be detected as stolen.

Theres no way valve can tell if you have the code or not.

This leak coincides with a bug found in steam authorization that let a hl2.net staff member in the staff steam forums...I believe...It was confusing as hell because stuff was getting deleted on both forums.

that code you posted looks the same as HL only with combine as the monster name instead of h_grunt or whatever they were called

btw, there is no HL2.net, that address just forwards you to the sierra site
niw if you mean halflife2.net than those people are real losers, and the site wasnt incredibly popular
i can see them being desperate enough to pull a stunt like hacking into staff forums

Cheapalert I need you to confirm this post

The point is this leak might be fake.

The 'leak' is being dissected, theres parts of it that seem plausable as HL2, but theres parts that seems hacked from quake, ut and other engines.

Its being dissected as we speak.

This obviously shows that Valve is being jerks about claiming the source over id, not giving them credit. I mean, where's the required "Uses licensed id software technology, copyright ©1996-2003" in the code headers?

That header looks pure to me. Everyone uses r_ for everything in HL2 now since the renderer API has changed to D3D, so why call it "gl_"?

If it's not a fake, it's possible they left the headers out for whatever reason. I don't know the technical aspects, so I have no comment on this. I don't see why it would have been leaked, they're going to make so much money off of it, giving it away would just cause problems.

For valve's sake, no.

ooh the shit is going to hit the fan

well, were they going to release source code with the SDK anyway?
its not like its the source for the engine it runs on or the maps, titles, models, etc.

It is the source code, you have no idea how huge this is.

u mean all of it?
not just like some AI or weapon stuff?
THE WHOLE GODDAMN THING?!?!?!

well, someone is about to lose their job
cuz the only ppl with access to it is the development team
and hackers, theives, cat burgulars, etc.
but i doubt a hacker could steal the whole thing, it would take too long
