Why do you need HPL2 source when you have HPL1 source? You can just take the HPL1 engine and update it with anything you want. The only reason i see for you guys to ask for the HPL2 source is the dev tools but with the HPL 1 source you can make ANY 3d app a dev tool if you want, just like the DarkMod guys did with doom3 (they made their on dev tools) and they didn't have access to the engine source code.

But a better example are this guys OverDose, they toke the old Quake 2 engine source and updated it to be better them even the doom3 engine.

for example here is a Quake 2 image:


And a overdose image:


Thats the Quake 2 engine!

So you can take the HPL1 engine source and make it even better them HPL2 if you want.
