2x TF2 and something called "TFC"

Team Fortress 2, TF2: Invasion and Team Fortress Classic, I think.

These days, none of this code is really worth much. I mean, it's a great resource for certain sects of modders and coders, but by and large it's obsolete and the legality of its use is a big ol' question mark.

I could make use of it for Stroll, for example, but I'm pretty damn sure that wouldn't go down well with Valve. Though we'll see how they handle this, although I'm not expecting the id way of just letting the code into the wild.


There's a couple of things Valve left out of the SDK that'd be interesting. The Maya and XSI plugin source code is there too, so we could get builds for newer versions faster, but yeah...

Not as exciting as the 2003 leak eh Scart but still neat to see TF2: Invasion in there, I wonder if it's any different from the edition we were using.

In terms of the game code, no. There's changes that came with the update of the code over the years. Everything else is the same.

The title of this thread is quite misleading since it was a licensee leak, and the thief was hacked. Valve wasn't hacked for this. It came from a SVN that someone didn't protect well enough.

I'd say some of the SteamWorks "licensees" perhaps? I'm not entirely sure, but Tony agreed that this is from a licensee.

These are potential sources.

Well the license leak would explain the ONE file in EP3. :P

Really? Because all the EP3 related files were released in the SDK by accident ages ago.

I thought those files were more related to Source 2 rather than Episode 3?

I believe they were directed towards source 2 as well.

No those were source film maker files, all the EP3 code had was an npc_blob which pretty much just fixed one particle in the EP2 particle benchmark they showed at E3.

When I read that on my phone, I got up out of bed, booted up my computer, just to make that ugly-ass "smiley".
