In 2022, Half-Life 2 games were updated. The update added a new UI (Gamepad UI).
That year, before my return to studies, I quickly worked on a proof of concept to see how it would look like for older Source mods.
This presentation shows the mod 'Ravenholm' running under Half-Life 2 (Not Source SDK Base 2013) with custom Gamepad UI graphics to match the original mod's theme.
As explained in this article, I planned to revisit the Source SDK Base 2013 patches. The Source SDK Base 2013 does not officially implement support for the new UI but according to the following below, there is potentially a possibility to be able to integrate it.

Github.com
If it's not possible, the mod would have to run under the base game.
One way or the other, if I come to revisit the Source SDK Base 2013 patches, would you be interested in custom Gamepad UI graphics as seen in the presentation ?
Let me know what you think.
