Feel free to give me feedback on this page so I can improve on it. Picaxe01 11:18, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
Since when this article got brought back from deletion. There isn't any more information on the game engine and its availability. Picaxe01 talk
Update: Literally answered my question second later as of writing this. The latest version of Source was released with it's the newest title and I will find more info eventually. I would want to know why this article through? Just let me know. https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/354549/Valve_releasing_Source_2_tools_alongside_HalfLife_Alyx_next_March.php Picaxe01 talk —Preceding undated comment added 00:01, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
We should list VScript here since Source 2 uses it and supports Lua, Python, Squirrel and GameMonkey. It's certainly relevant to the article, I do not see why that would be undone? I can list the official Valve wiki which practically says Source 2 uses VScript. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GlorifiedPig ( talk • contribs) 09:34, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
So this has been somewhat of a recurring issue so I thought we should discuss it. Per MOS:TMSTYLE, is preferred to use normalized English spelling followed by the stylized title as a note. However, since it also allows for the stylized version to be used as the article title in rare cases, the real debate lies here. Would a standalone article use S&box? ~ Dissident93 ( talk) 05:07, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
The page states that the first public beta of Source 2 tools was with the Half-Life: Alyx Workshop tools. The first time the public got their hands on Source 2 tools such as Hammer, the Model Editor, the Material and Particle Editors, S2FM, Panorama, Lua VScripts and a few others. The relase was June 17, 2015 on the patch that enabled the Reborn beta. Respektor ( talk) 18:25, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
I was reviewing the article source history and noticed something like 11 flip flop edits over my addition of Aperture Desk Job to the games list. Some dude got blamed for my mistake of citing the Steam Store page and there seems to be confusion over if the game even uses Source 2. Levi_OP and Ferret both removed edits that added ADJ to the list because "theres no citation for it using Source 2", then Levi_OP re-added it saying the article in 27 cites ADJ as using Source 2, even though the article only mentions it off-handedly and doesn't cite anything there either. ADJ isn't listed on the Valve Developer Community wiki as using Source 2, so that can't be cited as a source even though it's likely just out of date because if you look in the game files it incudes Source 2 assets that you can load and view in VRF. How this is supposed to be cited as actually using Source 2? Ctaetcsh ( talk) 18:31, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
In light of the frenzy about CS:GO going to source 2 and recent edits on this article mentioning the same, I just want to remind everyone of WP:RUMOUR: "Wikipedia is not a collection of unverifiable speculation, rumors, or presumptions. Wikipedia does not predict the future." It is inappropriate to add information about this subject until there is definitive information from a reputable source on the topic. 9yz ( talk) 01:52, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
