sorry but without the time or money to put into this project i just don't think it would last that long dev teams spend months - years working on games like half-life even if some one managed to make a engine its getting coders to use it. there are allready great game engines out there like LTE. I would just try and work with that and save you/your team some time and work and make something playable.
i'll tell you why we are using the half-life engine, i have tons of tools for it, i know it well and people can instantly play half-life mods- i think? and half-life or counter strike.
besides i have a kick ass idea for a mod i won't ruin the surprise though, you will have to wait.
sounds cool! i can't wait!

Dark heart i think you rock man keep doing your thing F*ck what other ppl say. BTW im begining to study C++ =)
Man, how often do I have to say that:
You can't port the GoldSrc engine without its sources!
A port is a program/game that was reprogramed for an other platform.
And as long as you don't have the sources you shouldn't call it a port.
LTE really is the better engine because you can already
use bsp maps and Half-Life models (if you write a loader yourself) with it.
Life with it, you CAN'T port the GoldSrc engine.
If someone can get the HL source code, I'd like to see Counter Strike ported as well but multiplayer might be hard to set up.
Noone can get the HL source code.
It costs way too much for such a little project, that's the problem.
You could only make a clone of Half-Life,
but that's the only thing you can do, dark heart.
We have the HL2 source code, LOLQuote:

The most you can manage is a CLONE, and even then your "tools" likely won't work.
Anyone can download tools from the internet...
I wish you luck anyway, even though what you are proposing is preposterous.

Yeah, but as you SHOULD know it was hacked off Valve's content servers.Quote:

@ Cloudhunter: Of course he doesn't know of what he is talking about.
He is just 14 years old, he doesn't even know what a 3d engine does,
he isn't even a programer but he wants to have his own game.
All he wants to do is to use his damn models and tools.
