A base mod for Source 2013 which expands and improves the toolset available to modders, augmenting other maps and mods for development purposes. It contains new logic entities, new I/O and keyvalues, a custom implementation of VScript, custom shaders, countless fixes, and enhanced FGDs all in one single package. Mappers would create their maps based off of this mod and larger mods with their own unique changes would draw from Mapbase's code and assets.
hl2_gamerules is supposed to be Half-Life 2's equivalent of entities like tf_gamerules. It can control various HL2-related settings, like the default citizen type (the type used for "Default"), the legacy flashlight (HL2/EP1 flashlight as opposed to EP2 flashlight), or even whether the player's squad automatically starts following the player again. Friendly fire override can be found as its own global state.
