Legality[edit]
Xash3D used to use part of the Half-Life 2 beta leak code from 2003, Valve doesn't like when people use their beta assets, whether it's textures, maps, models, or in this case, code for projects, which lead to the cancellation of many anticipated mods. It may not include any beta code, but it still includes modern SDK headers.[1]
