Can i get the source file for the Valve Engines diagram?

There are some branches that aren't on that diagram (These ones), can I get the source file for that image? Or if it isnt possible, can you add these branches to the image? -Mr. System Error^{(T - C)} 14:03, 18 January 2025 (PST)

Too many to fit into one image and also games (even if it's introducing new engine features), shouldn't be added here unless they are incompatible with each other or made major modifications (there may be some exceptions through like Svengine, which are made for one game but have major modifications that made it incompatible with GoldSrc).
For example, HL2: Update shouldn't be listed here since it's just older version of Source 2013 SP, and same for PUNT, Tactical Intervention and The Stanley Parable, which made minor modifications to Portal 2 engine. About GoldSrc aswell, console ports shouldn't be marked as branches, and Spirit of Half-Life is basically Mapbase but for GoldSrc. --leonidakarlach (talk) 21:02, 18 January 2025 (PST)

Maybe you can put some of them into little notes that you have on the image? For example: "-PUNT and The Stanley Parable use modified versions of Portal 2 branch, Punt added *add most important features*, and TSP added *also most important features*" or something like that. But they do little modifications to the branches, as you said, so maybe not put them, or put them, i dont know, its your choice and image after all, im not trying to force things, just giving suggestions that could improve things -Mr. System Error^{(T - C)} 01:19, 19 January 2025 (PST)

I'm gonna keep the image as-is for now, through. --leonidakarlach (talk) 01:34, 19 January 2025 (PST)

Engine build version / protocol

Hi. I noticed you added some information like this to the engine branch pages:

The engine versions for this branch are build 2547 (Lost Coast) or 2761 (EP1) up to 4044 (Protocol 7).

I wonder how can I get that kind of information? I'm trying to guess what branch a given game belongs to based on it's files. Could you share anything about that? Also, can I reach you on discord? —Unsigned comment added by XBLAH (talk • contribs) Always sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~)

Build information are available on Google Spreadsheets made by SourceRuns community. I do have Discord through (user: leonidakl360) so feel free to contact me there. --leonidakarlach (talk) 05:07, 25 February 2025 (PST)

occasional minor edit mismarked

Hi Kr0tchet! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typographical error or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. --Nescius (talk) 01:00, 24 April 2025 (PDT)

i'm aware of this and i often making mistakes and rushing edit so sometime i may mark some of my edits as minor and sometime i don't. --leonidakarlach (talk) 01:42, 24 April 2025 (PDT)
