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)
