Port retail engine to leaked engine

Accorsi · on01 Oct 2017, 23:33:23

Someone knows how to port mods like missing information, insolance, etc. To the leak engine (anon-hl2)?
Thank you

Why would you want to? It would be incredibly difficult - nearly impossible. It would be better to stick with one engine.

This would be like... just porting maps and models back into the leak? Because all the code is already there and mostly working?..
This idea is so strange that I cannot entirely wrap by head around it. Just, what?

No, because some maps are not port to the leaked engine, like the borealis chapter in MI we don't have in the leaked engine or we have?

Actually all those maps are here.
Not only the Borealis maps, but many other chapters, like Air Exchange, old City 17, etc.

We have pretty much all of them. Of course they're not as polished or updated, they don't have HDR or detailed shadows or whatnot, but you can just compile them under leak engine and then use Leaknet to emulate some of the effects, and and some new entities, such as the Cremator, if you wanna back-'port' Insolence or Cremation.

Is it possible to port beta maps to the retail engine?

If you mean direct conversion, there's this tool called BSPconv

But it's better to decompile the map (or just take the .vmf file from wc-mappack) and compile it with retail SDK.
