halflife VS halflife-updated

It's a part of C++ project https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife

I wonder if this is something you can amend in the actual code here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife

I know the most known issue about overbright on github already states that they will not fix it, but that was from 2013 and thoughts about overbright issue could've changed since then. Plus I am running HL on linux and this issue Infuriates me since I'm stuck using the OpenGL renderer (which is the only renderer that has this issue). We've known that valve really likes their linux oriented approach, and plus we know they love their Deckies that they updated HL2 with fixes and QoL stuff, what's stopping them from fixing overbright?

Funnily enough, on Half-Life 1 engine-based games (i.e. the engine that came before HL2 - on which Team Fortress 2 runs; such as Counter-Strike 1.6), a different allocator problem exists -- glibc's malloc() just decides to fail miserably[0] on some setups.

I guess you have to either modify the code https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife/blob/master/dlls/hgrunt.cpp

The original Half Life, including goldsrc, is source-available: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife

And in fact even their Half-Life 1 bugtracker on GitHub is policed: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife/issues

Whenever I try to go on twhl.info malware bytes browser guard blocks it.

Or (more simply) use Spirit and check Dont drop Gun flag https://github.com/LogicAndTrick/halflife-updated/releases/tag/spirit-of-half-life-1.8-fixes
