I think this just made Todd's Top Ten List of Cockups: Source code to HalfLife-2 Leaked Basically, all the cpp and etc files for the program are in the wild - no media files, so it's no possible to build the full game (you're wearing a black shirt in a black room with the lights out...). Anyone know of any other Big Mistakes like this one - where the source code for some major project got leaked?

If i recall correctly, either quake or quake 2 source was stolen from a server at one point. Moot now, the source is released anyway, but at the time it was a big thing. What worries people the most now isn't that someone's going to use it to pirate the game, but that they'll use it to develop cracks and cheats. Probably also danger of the competition stealing good ideas. ;)

Seems to me like this isn't that big of a mistake. The media is what makes a game. The code is probably just some engine that runs the media stuff at the right time. Unless all the data for the game except for images, etc., is hard-coded?? Surely not... :~ Although I suppose if there are any cheats, hacks, etc., you could get those from the source. If your nose runs and your feet smell, then you're built upside down.

Dude, the Half Life engine is worth big bucks. Other game companies license it big time from Valve for their games and then obviously putting in their own media, scripted events and levels. A game is no longer just 20 hours of shoot-em-up. Licensing the tech is huge. Big truck up. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Miszou wrote: I have read the entire internet. on how boring his day was. Crikey! ain't life grand?
