-
Portal-Base
Port of Portal 1 2007 leaked source code to Source SDK 2013. Also includes fixes for Half-Life 2 maps and gameplay.
-
LeySourceEngineProxyServ
Ley Proxy Servers for Source engine servers - Zyre. Think of cloudflare but for source engine and with geo-cast based server ping enhancing for free. I've created this tool to A. protect my servers by hiding their real IP entirely. The only visible IPs will be the node IPs. And B. to artifically enhance the ping on the server list of source servers to get more players to join. Unlike anycast this does not have any costs besides your server costs. It avoids duplicates by only letting the location

Project mention: The Next Generation in Graphics, Part 1: Three Dimensions in Software | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-04-27Let me make the case that it's definitely not just nostalgia - or, at least, that Quake style movement didn't fade away because of any objective, rational process.
One of the exasperating consequences of the rise of game engines has been that you have games shipping that have more and more of their game design inherited from their game engines.
On some level this makes sense - games are just massively complicated, and so if you already have working, tested code, it's often quite tempting to just go with what already works (and not spend time really internalizing how working things work) and then focus on figuring out the particular things you are adding from that baseline.
As just such an example, when I was working on Activision's Soldier of Fortune, we largely inherited Quake 2's movement code, and most of it was left untouched by the time we shipped. At some point, midway through development, inspired by Thief, I stayed late one night with a co-worker, and I added in leaning around corners to the player controls. I don't remember the particulars of that process, but (obviously) I had to make tons of aesthetic choices while doing that, because I was writing it from scratch. But the base movement we could inherit.
If you go back and look at first person games from the late 90's, their aesthetic choices about basic player movement are all different in subtle ways. That makes sense, because most studios were writing their own bespoke engines at the time, and there was vastly less code sharing. So people were writing code because there was no particular alternative, and so they were making tons and tons of aesthetics choices whether they wanted to or not. Lots of those choices weren't always great, but they were often particular.
It's clear at this point that lots and lots of FPS games just inherit Unreal Engines movement. Not because it's great, but because it comes with Unreal and it's a default. To me, there's something very specific about the way friction works with player movement in Unreal that feels very ... sticky? ... compared to Quake Engine games. Players come to a stop when input is released in a way that feels like being in glue - again, at least to me. There's more subtle gliding around in Quake. As far as I can tell, the difference rarely effects game play in most games. But it does change how it feels aesthetically to play moment by moment.
Anyway, this topic feels intensely path dependent to me. Unreal's movement is the default because Unreal is the default engine (in a lot of contexts), but it didn't become the default because of anything specific about its player movement code. Those aesthetic decisions were just along for the ride, so to speak. Or at least, that's my sense.
Interestingly, I found a github project a while ago that tried to reverse engineer Quake / Source's movement and put it into Unreal Engine 4. No idea how successful the project is, but I suspect it might be an interesting resource for seeing what's different between the two: https://github.com/ProjectBorealis/PBCharacterMovement

They did recently added community fixes from mastercoms and makaroffilya in the March 1st and March 20th update. So I'm 100% certain that they'll add plenty of fixes from Team Comtress 2 (which is now TF2 Patches) and probably whatever they'll find from the workshop for this summer update.
