Recently a DMCA came down on the most popular GitHub repository that was hosting the 2007 Source engine leak after having been up for more than a decade. There are still other places it can be found, but a lot of doubt has been cast IMO and I'd prefer to avoid leaked code if I can, however, I am in the middle of making a mod that relies on that code.

Which leads me to the question in the title. Would I be able to start this project over as a server plugin? The mod is for Portal 1. An NPC essentially acts as AI for the player. It's parented to the player and controls the player through console commands. (It could probably be made as a bot instead.) To find out what to do, it has to do traces and iterate a lot through gEntList and query the states of entities, including portals. Map modification can be done to assist in any way needed.

Not sure if you can create new entities using a plugin (either with or without SourceMod).

I know with Half-Life plugins you can but I think Metamod Source works a bit differently.

mods add new assets to the game and alter the base game's code to do so

Looks like it's no longer a problem or matter of that leak being around

Portal 1 still hasn't had it's code public yet and OP wants to make a Portal 1 mod that has to add new capabilities for NPCs which is traditionally done through source code, but the only one available is the dubious leaked one as said.
Though with the random portal 1 update that tried to move the game to the anniversary engine and breaking a lot of things, I guess that codebase might still be in the works.
