Half Life 2 engine

There currently is no source code available for Half-Life 2.

For Half-Life, the SDK only included the game source code (not the engine source code). The game source code is used by MOD developers to create a new game using the same Half-Life engine.

Is it really game source code, or just some scripts you modify?

game source code

although eric smith from valve told me once that they were working a script engine but that s been years ago and it was for hl1
they never finished is though

the script engine could well be in HL2
(and at teh metion of scripting for HL2 modes you should have seen the responce of ''omg, no!'' on the HLCoders mailing list )

yes... I meant Half Life, not Half Life 2... sorry

It''s C++ source code, for the entire HL1 game dll (so it has all the marine AI in it, for starters. ). It''s pretty good stuff to look at for examples of how to organise things... there''s a nice pluggable factory setup going on there, for example.
