Svengine

This article or section needs to be cleaned up to conform to a higher standard of quality because:

Make a comparison table of vanilla GoldSrc and Svengine (like on the GoldSrc page) to improve quality and make it a little standalone.)

For help, see the VDC Editing Help and Wikipedia cleanup process. Also, remember to check for any notes left by the tagger at this article's talk page.

Svengine is a third-party GoldSrc branch using licenced code. It is a modified version of the GoldSrc engine that was introduced around version 5.0 of Sven Co-op and has enhancements such as allowing larger levels, higher entity limit, Hor+ FOV support, improved audio via FMOD and increased engine limitations.
