2003-2004 Community Archive

Compiled By: The Real Soldier (Soldier)

Description

The 2003-2004 Community Archive adds/fixes contributions for the 2004 Mappack.

If you still have backup content for the HL2/CSS Leak that's not in the archive, contact me or let us know here.

Background

For the past few years, I've preserved and researched content that members would share exclusively on websites.

Original users (DemonStrate, DKBreen, Hyperjag, Jasper Carmack, omega552003, OnboardError, Qwiggalo & TAz00) were kind enough to contribute what was previously lost.

Resurrection users (A-Shift, Витой, fps, VXP & Zalen), including myself, used the Internet Archive to download crawled files from now-defunct sites.

It's fascinating to see what those from the past worked on and experimented with before the final product came out.

I've looked up into the full archives he gave me, and no, unfortunately, I haven't found any of the mentioned missing resources

Great news!

The Real Soldier just released a new video and he mentioned in the description that former HL2World member omega552003 has provided him even more content that was missing on these maps (plus some additional fan-made maps from 2003-2004)
He also posted a new link for this updated mappack.

All Counter-Strike: Source Alpha community content I've managed to recover so far has been added to the 2003-2004 Community Mappack.

Note: Some maps only work on the original leaked cstrike if using the custom build.

Special thanks to two more former HL2World members (Qwigs & OnboardError) who have recently contributed to the project with 21 lost maps plus the VMFs for them! What's included in this new release are original unmodified versions of the CMP (Community Mappack Contest) maps plus an unused introduction room to teleport to the maps, developmental versions of Apartment Chaos, Streets of Resident Evil, and much more!

OBSOLETE

Former Lead Programmer for Missing Information and Obsidian Conflict (Hyperjag) recently found me and was very kind to share some early TeamGabeN HL2/TF2 work, artwork, documents, programs, and rare Half-Life 2 Beta Source Code Leak era media; all are from 2003-2006. I decided to expand two years more as it wasn't until 2007 when Valve fans started to revisit a forgotten piece of leak history.

Витой · **Reply #13:** on01 Sep 2022, 00:42:51

I remember Hyperjag from Love Tub forums, it's really cool he still had beta content and shared it with you! Still, what exactly did he give you? I only saw arctic_01 map and Team Gaben's TF2 video.

Hyperjag gave me: some old fanart, The Domino Effect video from HL2World Innovation Contest around 2005, TeamGabeN's Team Fortress 2 Invasion MP Test in high quality, a few old community tools used for Half-Life 2 beta around 2004, an aged document describing almost every single map from the WC Mappack, and most importantly, some chat logs and screenshots around the time when the Half-Life 2 source code got leaked before the game content. One more important thing to mention he hasn't given to me yet is an archive of TeamGabeN's Team Fortress 2 Invasion work from 2006.
