i think tryian2000 should be converted to a .wad file cause its dos like doom, just it will be a bit larger then normal like mybe 50 mb? ill play it anyday even if its 600mb :)

you cant just convert a game to a wad file.. the doom engine is not nearly as advanced as the half life engine.

Half-Life is NOT opensource. There is an SDK. But that has no engine code! So this cannot be done.. please, no more stupid threads like this.. kthxdie.

I think I saw a Half-Life.wad, I'm not talking about a single time, well, that must be a fake then huh?

could be. its just a file name. some times people use the same file type names, but often they are compiled into the file differantly.

Also this could just be a user created half-life mod for doom, who knows.

Its a mod for Doom, I've used it myself with Xbox & PC Doom many times & its quite nice really

Half-Life was based on Quake engine but valve made enhancements to it.

halflife.wad

You could see a halflife.wad file, halflife uses wads for the spray logos (check it out on google) But the info contained is VERY different from the doom engine levels

its not just the spray logos the wad files are just tons of textures used in the level and i believe on models too.

Is porting the Half-life: Uplink Demo to PSP illegal?

I know the Half-life engine is a heavily modified Quake engine, and we have Quake running full speed on PSP's. Not to mention Half-life is on PS2.
There's some positives for possibility :)

id say make a quake mod since it would look 5x better than a doom.wad mod and have a close resemblance to what half-life should be. wad modding is getting old now, and most newer games are going to be hampered by its limitations.

I was hoping that this thread would be closed by now....

Actually spacedwarv, there are major differences between the PSP and the DC. There are plenty of threads listing both of their specs in detail, as well as good compare/contrast topics of the 2. Best bet, look around, because you're just going to get flamed to hell if you don't do research.

*edit* BTW, could we have a sticky for the comparison (such as specs) and the reasons that anything on DC can't be ported to the PSP, in this forum atleast?
