Revision as of 15:08, 13 March 2025
Source 2004 is the original build of the Source engine that Half-Life 2, Half-Life: Source and Counter-Strike: Source shipped with. It was succeeded by the Source 2006 engine branch with the release of Half-Life 2: Episode One.
No current Valve titles hosted on Steam use this particular engine branch, as it is outdated.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines still runs on a custom version of the engine which is more similar to the engine used in the Half-Life 2 leak (unofficially referred to as Source 2003). However, it uses a proprietary texture format, Python for scripting and BSP version 17, and supports Bink videos.
SiN Episodes also likely used the last?[confirm] build of Source 2004, or possibly an early version of the Source 2006 branch previously used by 
Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, combined with Source 2004 code[confirm], which contains few commands related to the HDR Rendering which was non-functional ("mat_hdr_enabled").
The engine versions for this branch are build 2106 up to 2497 (Protocol 5-7).[1]
