HL2 Source leaked

[Shalmanese]

Hasn't appeared to hit any major news sites yet but a sept build of the HL2 source has been leaked onto the web. This is the full HL2 source with everything. Its 100% legit. Sucks to be Valve right now. If i were them, I would hunt down the b*stard that did this and apply some very swift judgement. :| :| :| :|

Won't run fast enough on my xp2800+ with ti4600 anyway. Something's wrong with that.

 

[waylman]

so the game was leaked or the source engine?

 

[Ferocious]

:Q

 

[Shalmanese]

Its the actual source code. Physics engine, client, server, sdk, renderer, shaders... everything

 

[StageLeft]

I know. I've been reverse engineering it for three days now and I'm releasing the game at the end of the week.

 

[LordJezo]

So then someone would have to compile it all then to get it to run?

Wouldnt it be a beta source code since the game was pushed back?

Then why did you say it's a "sept build" if it's not built?

 

[tallest1]

omg? the source code? To one of the most highly anticipated PC games? ooooh boy, whoever did it better kiss his ass goodbye

 

[Shalmanese]

Oops, sorry, not a build. A quick check revealed that the latest last modifed date was mid sept.

 

[Kenazo]

I'm sure that retard will be a hero though in some circles.

Can anyone cofirm if this source could be used to allow the game to be played?

 

[bernse]

I wonder if its watermarked somehow?

 

[Schadenfroh]

did ATI leak it? omg, it would be funny if that were the case. what would valve do to ATI?

 

[UNCjigga]

ooh ooh I found the ATI-specific code, and the code that says "nvidia is suck"!!!!!

Punish them by making their cards as slow as matrox.

I doubt it, there's a LOT of stuff that isn't code that the game will require to run: All the 3D models, all the sounds, all the texture maps, etc.

oh man, that's gonna suck. really. online gaming = will be da sh!t. all those g@y as$ cheaterz will come up with some unbeatable hacks i bet

 

[Schadenfroh]

then what the heck can we do with the source code? if we cant compile it and play it if the models and such is not there.


:light::evil:

anyone want to make a game called halfCracked?

 

[Shalmanese]

Well, for one thing, companies that want to build games based on the HL2 engine pay millions of dollars for this kind of info. For another think, lame h4x0rs can figure out ways to exploit bugs to cheat.

Why would ATI have the source code???

A compiled version to test drivers I could understand, but the source code?

There's nothing official on this story yet. Not even a link here! It's wayyy premature to jump to "ATi Leaked" conclusions. Actually, if anyone learned their lesson, it would be them.
