Yea im making TLS(half-life modification) And I was kinda hoping to make it cell shaded anyone know if I can do such a thing using a half-Life engine? I know its more texture oriented than anything. It would be great if somone could actually know how to do it!

It is very possible, it's the code that makes it cell shaded. Sven coop (hl mod) has a cell shaded enemy on one the maps.

ah but would it be easy to make the entire game cell shaded? I just thought it would be a whole hell of a lot easier on the design part.

Nah the sven co-op toonrun models arent coded, just make a model, and surround it with an expanded layer of backfaces for the outline. Thats how they did it.

cell shading is over rated.. plus do you think that this style will suit your mod? By the description on the site i cant see it as a cell shaded game

Cel-shading is like vectoring all of the textures in real time and in high resolution, and I have no idea how that would be coded. I don't know that the HL engine is capable of that, but it's definitely possible with enough time invested.

Valve said themselves it'll be easy to make the entire game cell shaded...
