Hello guys,just want to say...it would be awesome if you could play ESF:Final with no Half-Life or Steam..just like ordinary game

Well to make an "ordinary game" for dragon ball and not a modification one, you need 2 things at least. The first is: your own engine and the second is: the dragon ball's rights from Akira Toriyama.

They don't own both, so lets go with the modification plan or they will have to deal with lawyers and stuff.

ESF's been developed using the HL engine for a long time now, switching now really isn't an option. Half-Life's readily available over Steam, and doesn't cost too much, so it's more than accessible.

We only need the license stuff if we want to sell it. ZEQ2 is stand alone because the Quake engine went open source. HL is not open source, so youll need to have HL1 installed to play ESF.

That simple.

I've taken the liberty of altering the thread's title.

Well I've seen a game getting closed down even if it was free, this is why i said the above things.

They can close us down even as a mod if they choose to do so. Mod/stand alone doesnt make a difference. We still only need the licence if we want to sell it.
