halflife VS Quake-III-Arena

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

To save everyone a lot of time and OP some money, here is https://github.com/id-Software/Quake-III-Arena diagrammed:

Clicking on any box takes you directly to either a file or a folder in the repo. AFAICT, the boxes, wires, groups, labels are all inferred by the AI.

does anyone have links to a canonical implementation of modern-style first person controls? I’ve been looking into this recently (both the WASD+mouselook PC version and the corresponding dual-stick console/touch version) and the closest I’ve found so far is ID’s cl_input.c [0] (used in quake, half life, etc.)

Quake III Arena

If you know C, you can check this out by comparing the different player movement code of Quake 3 and Quake 1.

You mean this code?

Do you see that notice at the top of the file? It says:

The error messages comes from this file in the source code. It looks like the client is trying to parse entities from the server but the readcount is greater than the cursize in the messages. I am not an expert but I believe there could be a mismatch between the versions of your client and the servers you are trying to connect to.
