Requirements:
- Half-Life2 installed
- A graphics-card, that can handle 2048 x 2048 pixel textures (any DirectX9 card should be okay).
- plenty of RAM (you will see some ingame-stuttering with less than 1 GB ram)
Installation for Vanilla Half-Life2:
Copy the complete folder "materials" with all its subfolders to //Half-life 2/hl2/ and overwrite the old materials folder. Windows will warn you about overwriting a existing folder. This is okay, as only new textures are copied. The installation into the hl2 folder will change the textures for all allready and future installed mods. Recommended for user, who wants the new Hi-Res textures in all Half-Life2 Subgames and mods.
Deinstallation:
Delete the materials folder. No further action required, as Half-Life 2 will grab its textures out of the cfg repository. Installation for already installed FAKEFACTORY Cinematic Mod
Override Version:
Copy the complete folder "materials" with all its subfolders to //Half-life 2/hl2/ and overwrite the old materials folder. Windows will warn you about overwriting a existing folder. This is okay, as only new textures are copied.
Deinstallation: Delete the materials folder. No further action required, as Half-Life 2 will grab its textures out of the cfg repository.
Installation for already installed FAKEFACTORY Cinematic Mod Non-Override Version:
Copy the complete folder "materials" with all its subfolders to/SourceMods/fakefactory_cinematic and overwrite the old materials folder. Windows will warn you about overwriting a existing folder. This is okay, as only new textures are copied.
Deinstallation: Delete the materials folder. No further action required, as Half-Life 2 will grab its textures out of the cfg repository.
Installation for Garry's Mod:
Copy the complete folder "materials" with all its subfolders to/SourceMods/gmod9/. Windows will warn you about overwriting a existing folder. This is okay, as only new textures are copied.
OPTIONAL:
For all user, who wants a more VALVE-style Alyx (aka Alyx V2.12), copy the "materials" folder inside the "Alyx VALVE Style (Optional)" directory to //Half-life 2/hl2/, overwriting old files.
About FPS:
If you encounter badly FPS-drops, make sure to set mat_forcemanagedtextureintohardware "0" in your autoexec.cfg. And don't even think about installing the Hires-Textures with an outdated Directx8 card, because most DX8 cards can't handle 2048 px textures very well. On my developer -hardware (X850XT PCIe, Dual-Xeon 3.2 GHz, Win2003, 4 GB RAM) the FPS-drop on highest resolution (1920 x 1200) is approx. 3-5 frames with mat_forcemanagedtextureintohardware set to "0" (and approx. 30 frames with set to "1".
Do you think I should use this in HL2: Update?
yes
