halflife VS rehlds

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

Thanks a lot for the guidance/tip, I've learned something new. And you're absolutely right about the cause of the mentioned crash -- I've updated the Github issue with a bit of new info I've gathered.

Regarding the function, here it is: https://github.com/dreamstalker/rehlds/blob/master/rehlds/fi...

Interestingly, strdup gets compiled into:

Hey, unfortunately setting up a server can be complicated depending on what you are trying to accomplish with the server, so answering your question completely in one response isn't easy. You shouldn't need to use any files your friend gave you, you can use the latest rehlds here on github, the bin file that ends in .zip: https://github.com/dreamstalker/rehlds/releases Try this guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1604960959

So first we need to install ReHLDS. In few words, ReHLDS is a result of reverse engineering of original HLDS (Half-Life Dedicated Server) using DWARF debug info embedded into linux version of HLDS (more details). This will allow us to have more stable and optimized server with extednded API for adding mods and plugins. Open release page, download zip archive with compiled binary and unzip it to Resources.
