Caution
The ReHLDS organization is currently undergoing reconstruction. Please be aware that certain projects may be in transition, and updates may be in progress. We appreciate your understanding and patience during this time.
Welcome to the official ReHLDS GitHub organization! We maintain and develop a family of open-source projects aimed at improving and expanding the experience for Half-Life and Counter-Strike 1.6 dedicated servers. Our projects include reverse-engineered versions of key components, performance optimizations, and custom APIs to enhance modding capabilities.
| Project Name | Description |
|---|---|
ReHLDS  |
An improved version of the original HLDS engine, containing many security fixes and performance optimizations. It provides a more stable and enhanced server environment with extended API support for mods and plugins, offering better security and efficiency. |
ReGameDLL_CS  |
More stable (than official) version of Counter-Strike 1.6 (also Counter-Strike: Condition Zero) game library (mp.dll) with extended API for mods and plugins, enhanced (and fixed). |
ReAPI  |
AMXModX module that provides ReHLDS, ReGameDLL, ReChecker, ReUnion, VoiceTranscoder APIs for use in AMXModX plugins development. |
ReSemiclip  |
Metamod plugin controls the ability to pass through players. The module Semiclip by joaquimandrade was used as a reference. |
ReUnion  |
Metamod plugin created to support compatibility with older versions of the game client protocol (protocol 47). It is an idea sequel of DProto with new functionality for server protection. |
ReChecker  |
Metamod plugin that gives the ability to check client files by their md5 hash. |
ReVoice  |
Metamod plugin that allows voice chat between non-steam and steam clients (for ReHLDS). |
ReFreeLook  |
AMXModX module allows spectator admins to use any camera modes, regardless of the value of `mp_forcecamera` or `mp_forcechasecam` (for ReGameDLL). It is an idea sequel of Admin Free Look by jim_yang. |
LocalizeBugFix  |
Metamod plugin that fixes localization issues in HLDS by preventing or removing invalid characters in text, ensuring clean and correct display of localized messages. Deprecated, was completely replaced by the SafeNameAndChat. |
SafeNameAndChat  |
Metamod plugin that replaces special characters in player names and chat messages to prevent bugs. It swaps certain characters with similar Unicode alternatives, removes non-printable characters, and trims spaces from the start and end of text for improved safety and consistency. Deprecated for ReHLDS since 2015 |
ReLocalizeBugFix  |
An extension of LocalizeBugFix for ReHLDS, aimed at addressing localization-related bugs in the server, deprecated since 2015. |
HitBox Tracker  |
A development tool that aimed to demonstrate the true position of hitboxes calculated by the server in CS 1.6. However, it is now outdated (thanks to @Garey27 Hitbox Fixer module) due to inaccuracies in the hitbox position calculations within the display code. |
- Performance Enhancements: Optimized versions of key server components for faster and more stable gameplay.
- Customization: Extended API and plugin support for modders and server administrators.
- Security: Tools and plugins to enhance server security and protect against exploits.
- Backwards Compatibility: Ensuring compatibility with older versions of HLDS and plugins.
