I'd been thinking about it for a while, but if I made a program that created a "diff" between the Sourceforts codebase and the Source SDK as a whole, then I could just redistribute the changed code rather than all of it.

So, I started working on it a few hours ago and while it doesn't do a full diff (so it still has some legal matters) yet, I'm working on it.

Soon it'll probably be able to do a full differential on a per line basis.

Then a coder will download this diff (patch), create a new mod from that "Source SDK" menu then overwrite the Source SDK code with the patch's code.

Yeah, complicated, but it's looking good.

wasnt the whole point of not keeping it open source was so people couldnt write hacks for it? (well besides the valve issue)

huh? Alot of games aren't open source and have hacks...

quick thoughts...

the source sdk is not stable, they keep changing it and adding bugs. I've personally seen at least 6 different versions of it

knifa's 1.41 had a single version, (i have not yet found it)
sf 1.50 had another upgraded version
ep1 had a upgraded version
ep2 had another
source 2007 another (to fix the bugs in ep2)
i think there is another version also... since aug 2007 ( i stopped caring for 2 years or so)

so, eventually the diff file will have to do a 3 way merge to upgrade the old sdk, to the new sdk, while maintaining the modified code...... a real pain



what is the status of open source sf 1.95 ? is it playable?

kniffaaaaaa
