# AVP2 Reconstructed: matching the LithTech engine and renderer

> AVP2 Reconstructed recovers C++ for the LithTech 2.2 engine executable and DirectDraw/Direct3D renderer used by Aliens versus Predator 2 v1.0.9.6. It compares compiled functions with the originals and byte-gates mixed relinks against whole-file SHA-1 hashes. The author reports partial matching; unfinished regions still come from the original files.
