Has anyone tried making deadlock in goldsrc? Had an idea to do something similar and was wondering if anybody has tried something/tried to take source2/source games and put them in goldsrc

Lately, I've been thinking about migrating my entire workflow to Linux, and I wanted to know how stable the Source tools are (VTFEdit, VPKEdit, Hammer, CompilePal, etc.) I'd also like to know the same about the GoldSrc tools.

I've been looking into this online, but I wanted to hear about your experiences if you've been through something like this.

I have a source 2013 singleplayer mod with custom achievements, and in one of my maps I'd like to speed up the game at a certain point with host_timescale but doing so requires sv_cheats 1 which then disables achievements. Is making host_timescale a non-cheat something you can do? Thanks in advance

Hi!

I’ve been developing SourceMod plugins since around 2020, and one of the main hurdles I noticed for beginners getting into server hosting and/or plugin development is the very first step: setting up a server.

Not everyone is tech savvy enough at the start, and using a command-line interface can feel scary. There is a GUI tool called TF2 Server Manager, but it only works on Windows and, as the name suggests, is only limited to Team Fortress 2.

A few years ago, after switching to Linux, I realized there wasn’t really a good alternative available. That's when I decided that I might give it a shot myself.

A couple of years later ( working on and off, mostly off due to being busy with university, and laziness of course ), the app is in a state where I'm happy to showcase it: MANNager ( yes, the name is based on MANN CO. from TF2 ).

MANNager is a cross-platform & open-source app that easily allows you to manage, install, configure, update, and launch Source Engine dedicated servers through a GUI. You can download SourceMod right from the app, and you can automatically port forward ( or use SDR if available ) right from a toggle. You can interact with the server's console right from the GUI with a native terminal.

Originally I was making it for my needs, so mainly TF2, but expanding it to more Source games was a no brainer, and straight forward. The games supported for now are:

• Team Fortress 2
• Half Life 2: Deathmatch
• Left 4 Dead 1
• Left 4 Dead 2
• Counter-Strike: Source
• Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
• Counter-Strike 2
• Deadlock
• No More Room In Hell

Additional games can be requested through Github issues.

The repo is here: https://github.com/tsuza/mannager-source; and the website is: https://apps.tsuza.net/mannager

Here is just an overview image to give an idea ( for additional screenshots, check the website ):

Hello guys, FILipKOS here!

Today (as for writing this), I come to Source Engine community yet again with another tool!

This tool.. is a soundscape creator! Why does it exist?

This tool was created in mind with people who might be struggling with creating Soundscape file manually or getting frustrated.

Now, "does that tool supports all Source games?"

Yes! It supports all Source games, from leaked build of HL2 to modern Source games, I personally made sure that the tool will forever stay free, just like my other tool.

I hope this tool will save some people time with Soundscapes.

Hello everyone! I am quite frustrated! I am doing my own little 'remaster' of Half-Life 2. Basically, porting it over to Mapbase and adding a ton of vanilla friendly details (like improved brushwork, etc), custom models to the maps (like turning 2D brush textures to 3D models) things like parallax corrected cubemaps, dynamic render-to-texture shadow angles, projected texture shadows, parallax occlusion mapping on selected textures, improving vanilla models, and more. But I am almost on my way cancelling the project because I keep hitting the 'too many vertex format changes in frame' issue in maps. It would be sad to abandon this project because I've been working hard on it. I've read all I could on what causes this message to happen and part of the world not rendering. I know it's because of the detailed brushwork (like the windows of buildings I add) that causes it. I try and convert or create a lot of details as models rather than brushes but with the brush details I want to add to buildings I keep hitting this limit. Any experienced people out there that could tell me if there is ANY way I could add the details I want but not hit this limit? A kind of a workaround? I also tried moving over to VBSP++, VRAD++ VVIS++ but still no success.

Thanks in advance and here's a little taste of d3_c17_03 in Half-Life 2 and what I am working towards:

Hello! My name is FILipKOS.

Today, I want to present a tool that I've made for people who like to mess around in Source Engine and in games made for that engine.

The tool is a sound converter. Now, it may sound as a typical sound converter website you'd find on google, but I made sure that it won't sound like that.

My tool allows users to upload a sound file and converts it to a Source Engine compatible format. While this sounds cool and helpful, there might be a question of.. "What about GoldSource?"

Previously, GoldSource wasn't supported, but soon I've added the support for it, allowing people from that community to also use the tool!

Now, unfortunately since I don't want to spend money monthly on website hosters, I decided to host the tool on my Github website.

Link is below (same with the picture of how the website looks):
