Of course you only need the source code if you plan to _improve_ on the engine

Quadlinear filtering and 64 bit color would be nice.

While we're on the topic, you can get the Halflife Pro SDK at:
http://www.valvesoftware.com/hlsdk.htm

Which supposedly has everything you need to compile halflife from scratch.

You have to fill out an NDA, other restrictions, but suprisingly you can sell anything you make over the web, just not on CD's floppys etc.

I haven't ordered it yet, though. If I do I'll never finish the project I'm working on now (game written from scratch) and I'm so close.

This is not a shameless plug but if a 3D engine is what you want to play with, then I would suggest the Acknex engine. $1500 for the engine (obviously without source), the editors, and scripting engine. Or as low as $200 bucks for the lite version (the one I got. cool deal). I say the graphics engine is a level above the QuakeII engine.

Teflaun, do you have a URL for us to look at? I'd be interested in seeing this engine, even though I'm a long way away from making any 3D game.

I believe it's http://www.conitec.com/a4info.htm. The best example of the engine is a project called Winthorp's Mansion.

Hi,
as to Acknex4 ... you can't compare it with the Q2-engine, because Q2 was much faster. A4 isn't worth the money, because you'll have much trouble using it. Some friends of mine got it and it's only a half engine, because many features are missing and shall be out later. If you remember the AVI-Player or dynamic lighting, nothing yet. If I use one's engine, then I'd use Genesis3D or Crystal Space, but writing your own one roqz.

And, you have many other restrictions using A4, so better leave it.
