Pick up the crowbar of research scientist Gordon Freeman, who finds himself on an alien-infested Earth being picked to the bone, its resources depleted, its populace dwindling. Freeman is thrust into the unenviable role of rescuing the world from the wrong he unleashed back at Black Mesa. And a lot of people, people he cares about, are counting on him.

Description

This was made from and for HL2: Update but should also work for original game. Update: new version not modifying .vmt files but changing detail textures instead. Unpack .vtf files to materials\detail.

I'm curious of your reasoning behind this. Do you just dislike the detail textures?

Yep I got used to a simpler looking graphics so it's definitely not a performance issue. :) I even made another pack that blurs Valve's excessive pixelization, just haven't uploaded it yet.

No. It just removes the noise in the detail texture. More of an asthetic choice than a FPS booster for a 2004 game.

Yeh they when soldiers of fortune up in this B xD - I remember being ofputted too, when the *very high* setting appeared.

I find it hilarious that Valve would go thru pain of adding "detail" layer to textures, and yet never fixed missing folliage, several new maps have missing foliage now and lod is so aggressive that rooftop details are gone and other detail just switches to lower lod, or disappears just few meteres away. BUT hey we have detailed textures - rant over.

Nice pack sir.
