It's finally here. The largest and most complete graphics overhaul and expansion ever attempted for any Aliens vs. Predator game is now available for public consumption. The Redux mod comes in two files that must be downloaded and installed together. Part 1 is 1.7 GB and Part 2 is 1.6 GB. Before you unzip the contents to your aliens versus predator classic directory make sure you start the game at least one time. This is essential for the modified files to install correctly. I repeat, BEFORE INSTALLING YOU MUST RUN AVP CLASSIC AT LEAST ONCE. I can't stress this enough because the game will crash if you don't follow directions. So read the included Readme file!
People who just heard about this mod are probably wondering what it is. To put it simply, AvP Redux is a remake of the original Aliens vs Predator PC game from 1999/2000. All of the old block-like models are replaced with new extremely detailed characters, weapons, HUD objects, and everything in between (many of which are redone versions from 2010's AvP3 made by the same developer, Rebellion). Nearly all of the sounds are replaced or beefed up. Both the singleplayer and multiplayer collection of maps are redone with true high resolution textures. That's a jump from 128x128 (original size used for everything from model skins to maps) to 1024x1024 and 2056x2056. In addition I remade, expanded, and made various tweaks throughout the singleplayer campaigns. Oh, and many new multiplayer maps as well as the officially released map packs are included. The majority of which support coop and offline skirmish. Altogether you have about 40-50 maps to run around and kill things in.
If you haven't played the original AvP I highly recommend first checking it out clean. You will appreciate the game (and mod) so much more by not spoiling yourself right away. It's $4.99 on Steam. The Redux mod only works properly for the updated re-release, so please don't come crying to me if your 10 year old CD copy of AvP Gold Edition breaks.
That's pretty much it. From here on out I will be releasing minor addons such as alternate character models/skins, weapons, maps, and the occasional patch when needed. One last thing, READ THE README. Enjoy.

This is my profile/saved game for Aliens vs. Predator Classic 2000. Every level including the bonus missions are unlocked on Director's Cut difficulty.
These are the original ingame full motion video messages that play throughout the singleplayer game, replacing the ones made by the Rebellion staff.
Here's the uncut version of the Predator campaign's intro movie.
This is just a replacement for the original main menu music in Aliens vs Predator. It combines the opening title from Aliens by James Horner and the longer...

Thanks Mad_Max_RW for this mod...it looks great.
I running it on Win 7 64-bit and I too have it crashing at the end of each mission. Besides the profile you uploaded for people etc, I think I've pinpointed the problem with it crashing. You're probably right that it's a memory problem.
It seems to crash with the files from the "avp_huds" directory. You can pretty much copy "everything else" except the files from there and it should still run well on a win 7 64-bit PC. That's for people out there who want to test it out. ENB series works too.
Have only tested with marine hud files so far, will test with others!
Yeah, I did every bit of hacking with the game hoping it will run a bit more stable on Win 7 64 bit and came up with the same results. On XP 32 bit it's flawless.
On the positive side I did recently solve the problem with getting the official editing tools running properly without relying on Win XP 32 bit. If people want to edit the game the only prerequisite is an AvP Gold installation in the same hard drive as AvP Classic. No more switching back and forth with operating systems to edit maps and whatnot.
Any Chance of Aliens versus Predator 2 Classic Redux?
Nope. Retexture mods have been done but replacing whole models (especially character models like the Predators, Marines, and Aliens) is pretty much impossible.
Why?
It deletes the animations forcing me to redo thousands of them from scratch. I don't like AvP2 enough to consider wasting that much time.
This mod is AMAZING
OK, I`ve found a way to do it. You only have to copy the Fastfile folder into the game directory. I now have all the awesome sounds and the movie - like motion tracker display. The aliens also look a little different than the standard ones. Everything now runs buttery smooth, so I have no further questions :)
