The End of GoldSrc 

If valve open sources goldsrc the name should be opensrc

when the gold becomes a source

Black-Mesa Classic dev here I don't think GoldSRC is just dead jet

I hope Valve open-sources GoldSrc so it can live forever like the DOOM and QUAKE engine.

I hope GoldSrc never ends, the movement is too unique and elaborate. However, it could at least all be ported to Source Engine like KZMod, which is basically all GoldSrc mechanics running inside Source Engine, with all Source graphics, resources, maps, etc, but with GoldSrc movement. The best of both worlds. KZ, autobhop, surf, everything feels just so different in it, especially the powerful air acceleration, and crouch mechanics, it's just in a league of its own.

Goldsrc games are timeless. The community will keep it alive for many years to go. The engine is priceless, from Half-Life mods, Counter-Strike 1.6 custom maps, community made skins, you name it. The engine still has a lot to offer and we have seen most of it for the past 20+ years and it hasn't feel redundant at all.

There is also another aspect other than making maps and mods for Goldsrc. Making "Machinimas" - animated in-game films made using the game engine. It later became more popular with Source engine and release of SFM. But Half-Life 1 is getting popular again lately. Most of new machinimas or nowadays more used form of videos - Memes, are made using SFM or Blender, but they rarely achieve the same look and feel as making it in the original engine.

"GoldSrc is over 20 years old" Bro SOURCE is over 20 years old. GoldSrc is 26

It's funny how the author is surprised by regular textures and skybox on custom maps, saying that these modders squeezed everything they could out of engine. Considering that long before this, custom renders for GoldSrc (HLFX, Xash mod, Arrangemod, Trinity) were released - about which nothing is said in this video!

Wait for mapping community to switch over to Trenchbroom and ericw-tools, with which Quake community made so many crazy stuff...

Goldsrc lives for as long as humans will exist and play its games. Much like Doom's engine. There will always be new boundaries to explore

9:00 Speaking of Afraid Of Monsters, it's good to know that there exists TWO versions of the mod: the older OG version shown here on the video, which is pretty much "just a HL reskin", and the VASTLY improved and expanded "Director's Cut", that packs way more custom models, textures, animations and some neat new features, such as flashlight needing batteries. The DC version is pretty much the bridge between the AoM and CoF.

man you can never forget cry of fear.

You cannot be serious, the first 6 grenades you shoot in the beginning of the video are timed with the music. My goodness, that's either a stunning coincidence or some awesome editing, i for one am impressed.

One mod that I feel is missing here, especially in the last category of "pushing visuals" should be "Earth's Special Forces", which is a HL1 Mod that looks, at this point, looks closer to a Source Mod than GoldScr. They are apparently now moving to make it a Sven-Coop mod after the 25th Anniversary Update and the original GoldScr having a 2GB Memory limit they could just not get beyond, while Sven-Coop would allow 4GB which is plenty for them. Still, given that Sven-Coop is still technically a GoldScr game, I say it counts.

For a small channel is a shame you are using clickbait for the wrong audience

Cry of Fear did a good job. At the time plenty of indie survival horror games were mostly done on unity. Someone doing a more fun game with older tools was deserving of its praise.

Such an underrated youtuber.You have so much potential keep working.Im also so glad you mentioned cry of fear and afraid of monsters they are both really underrated games wich are made with so much passion and are filled with dread

Fun fact: dust 2 got inspired by a real terrorism incident happened in Morroco, Marrakech in the kasba. Edit: another fun fact: xash3d can also run source games(the fwgs one), but mostly gldsrc and mainly used in mobile, if u want a source engine for mobile there is one.

Still blows my mind Cry of Fear is gold source. It looks and plays so god damn well!

I feel like as long as there are Half Life fans there's always going to be people working on gold source mods. The fact we are still getting new content for this game after more than 25 years is staggering.

The funniest part to me is that my first experience with the original Half Life was by playing the PS2 port... lol

Oh... I got clickbaited...

YES finally a person that made a Half-life mods video and actually included Cry of Fear and Afraid of Monster also i do hope sometime in the future gabe give us the Source code for GoldSrc, i have seen what people can do with it within the limitation, imagine what they can do without it

I don't see how this is the end of anything I think the title should be changed I do really hope GoldSrc will be open-sourced soon though

there isn't much like goldsrc and source in terms of ease of use for making mods and whole games, i think goldsrc has a long way to go still. the important thing is to preserve its culture and continue getting people into half-life. the beauty of modding isn't that it has to get better and better, but because all works are so fun and unique.

Surprised no ones mentioning the Half Life Rally mod, which totally changes the genre from an FPS to racing

I don't think I've seen Gold Source mods that didn't look and feel like Gold Source mods. But I guess GS modders don't have as much access to the engine as, say, Doom modders.

goldsrc never ends

Great video. I've spent so many hours in GoldSrc and Source engine games. Its like another life, in another world...

The most deviating mods you can find: Master-Sword Continued (A fantasy RPG in the vein of Morrowind) HL Rally (A racing game in the Goldsrc engine) International Online Soccer (A soccer game like FIFA set in the Goldsrc engine)

9:08 I honestly thought you were never going to talk about AOF but I see you did and that’s really cool!

When the when the source is gold

8:00 Funnily enough, Counter-Strike Online or Nexon Zombies/Studio did fully use and push the improved Condition Zero engine further, giving it some extra nice features, like proper widescreen support and did create some very interesting new maps, examples being the Zombie Escape and Scenario ones.

Hey man great video! I really thought it was interesting and I love seeing a topic on my favorite game of all time. I always loved Gold Source more than Source just because I feel like modders really try going above and beyond with HL1 more (Not knocking on Source modders they do the same there too). I enjoyed the editing too man, this 1:26 was really cool. I was like "Woah I wanna see that again!" But yeah I have played all of these mods that you have mentioned (ALL OF THEM). I have been active in Half-Life's moding scene for like... I think almost 2 decades? This is just a very cool video man. Great job.

You forgot James Bond 007 Nightfire. It's also based on GoldSrc

Vague Voices -- goldsrc has a living soul.

1:09 GOODMAN CHRONICLES? 😂

I mean... GoldSrc is just a modification of Quake's Engine and Source is just a modification of GoldSrc so is GoldSrc ever really "dead" or is the spirit just living onto everything that comes after it?

I appreciate you naming some of the classic mods like Edge of Darkness. I always liked that one.

Gold source will never die while modders exist

Has anyone ever modded GoldSrc with cells instead of seperate areas behind loading screens? What I mean is similar to Bethesda of how they load in new areas in their games, like seamesless loading of new areas that are close to the player in a way that makes the traditional loadings obsolete. That way you could have enormous maps that never ends, including figuring out a way to also add LOD models (low quaility landscape objects that only apear far away and to be replaced by cell environments when the player gets closer). Anyhow, a modder probably needs the source code for GoldSrc for that, like Sven co-op got for instance.

I can't believe we got a reversed version of Black mesa yet. (Half life 2 but in GoldSrc

I'm curious to know how they managed to put 3d skyboxes in Goldsrc maps

guy didnt told about chinese conter strike bad move,that shit pushed source into bleeding max with that arsenal it have

That is some slick editing man, nice video! Keep working on it man 👍🌟

What's the map in the top right at 1:56?

Rest In Peace, GoldSrc...

Another thing I did not see is a mod that turns HL1 (goldsource) from a FPS to something completly diffrent. Like I remmber playing a HL2 RPG game (think elder schrool oblivion it was supper early into devlopment whit just the basic proff of conspet in). it had magic it had levels, it had kill rats get XP, it had quests get XP and rewards, it had item whit stat that did things. not sure if I seen any of that for HL1 thought.

Afraid of monsters directors cut. Please make a video of the better version of AoM 🙏

nothing ever dies unless uhh... *insert philisophical quote here*

Your video made my day better, thanks G

What’s the name of the mod @1:00

You made me login into youtube again :P Thx for mention me and my work :D cool video and content ! :)

turn down the gain on the mic a bit

Ah yes the Days of iD and Apogee Software Games, Btw great Recap of Goldsrc. Loved it!

The end? My response is. "Is there an end?" I say that because there is now a game on sale with even older ties than Half Life today. Selaco is a game that has ties to the old Doom engine, no not the fancy Doom remake, but the original retro Doom engine from the DOS days of computing.

It feels a little clickbaity to say it's "the end of goldsrc". Technical limitations are one thing but creative limitations don't exist. As long as there's at least one person out there that has an idea, and they want GoldSrc to be the medium that gives life to that idea, then the end isn't anywhere in sight.

We had/have so many mods from classic stuff like Surf, KZ, Zombies & WarCraft 3 to complicated Soccerjam, RocketLeague or BaseBuilder/Fortnite and of course all Standalone Mods/Games 🤩😎🤘🏻 over 22 Years of CS now for me :)

If you wanna see what can possible be done with GldSrc, look at footage from "Earth Special Forces: Final" (FYI honestly mandatory warning: The final version has been in development since 2005 and it is STILL in development ... yeah). Almost no map size limits, dynamic weather, custom vfx and animation systems, etc. No it does not use Source Engine, though they did consider switching for Final back when HL2 released, but decided against it. And yes they had to write their own custom tools to handle their changes to the engine. Hopefully those tool also get released once the game actually releases. Someday surely.

I think people are gonna keep using it even if just for the original aesthetic since many like that retro look. Also if someone who knows how to use the engine and has an idea they will still use it for the project.

Thanks to Xash modders can still do things the same way as in GoldSrc but don't worry about the small limits.

how can goldsrc end if you can still mod it?

Best engine ever made. I still mostly play goldsrc games and wish other people would too.

When you find a source of gold:

what? i dont really think so.

I really want to know, how did you get that Ricochet footage?

Literally only came to say GoldSrc will NEVER die. For everyone in the comments, you can find many iterations of GoldSrc source code online in multiple locations. For example, the source code for OpFor and HL are slightly different. Xash3D is also an open source 1-to-1 recreation, and now is more advanced than the original.

Half Life Wanted was awesome cause it had bots when I had dial up.

Goldsrc deserves to live on and it's endlessly depressing that Valve won't allow it to.

Really surprised that ESForces isnt mentioned and how far they've pushed the engine, especially with the newer nonpublic builds.

Nothing about ESF, Earth's Special Forces, even though you had a Goku gif?

Look into Master Sword Rebirth. It is probably the most ambitious HL1 mod to date. A total conversion turning half life into a first person multi-player RPG

u haven't mentionned the craziest of them all counter strike nexon . yes everyone hates it but the monsters and the weapons are on another level

9:50 listen i know its like swedish pronunciation but.... "Seemon".....

11:05 goldsrc of theseus

An amazing project that is unfortunately dead is ARRANGMENT. I wish the dev continued on, but sadly, they have ended the project.

Oh but it's only 27 years old. That was like 3 weeks ago

There's much more ambitious GoldSrc total conversion mods than those shown in this video. How about HL: Rally or BuzzyBots, where you play as rally cars and armed robots, respectively? Then there's International Online Soccer, Kanonball, and a bunch of others I can't remember the names of right now.

yeah... its totaly normal thing... collecting soda cans... (me sayings with like 50 cans of differents soda cans)

NOOOOOOOOOOOO HOW COULD THIS BEEEEEE

mmm love me some GunMan Chronicles

What software do you edit your videos with?

there is no end in Goldsource

Welp, looks like I'll never complete cry of Fear :/

GoldSrc is underrated game engine.

No mention of earth special forces? Fair, I guess, they haven't really released ESF:F, specially after the 25th anniversary update and the problems it brought for mods.

Yoo, what you think then about Xash3d and HL:BRUTAL.

You can also look for a Xash3D game engine (this is an improved remake of the original GoldSrc) made by russian GL/GS community

I discovered They Hunger by accident while exploring sven coop campaign portal lobby with my friend, truly great experience

Honorable Mention: Resident Evil Cold Blood Beta 2

GoldSrc aesthetics a is more about low resolution textures + lowpoly geometry. For example, a game like Half-Life: Induction or Poke646. Although I appreciate people who squeeze everything out of this engine, it turns out interesting projects.

11:02 The Source of Thesius problem

if they rereleased all the gold source games with better lightning I would buy it again xd

Half life is still incredible so many games are here today gone tomorrow but half life like doom and quake will still be enjoyed many many years from now And it has nothing to do with graphics

7:18 Anyone know what server is shown here? I had one running a similar COD style mod a decade ago, but it no longer exists

GoldSrc is like Doom... it will never die

As they say, it’s good as GoldSrc

Congratulations! 👏👏👏👏

11:05 ah the ship of Theseus paradox~
