Half-Life Overhaul Pack - it's a high-quality replacement pack for the original Half-Life models and sounds. As fan of singleplayer episodes I played a lot of the Half-Life mods, and all about improving of the playing experience were always interesting for me. So I made this package that can be used not only to play Half-Life as it is, but for playing different Half-Life mods too. Models and sounds included in this pack are not only my personal work. I'm just tried to gather some amazing elements made by other people, edit these elements and create new stylish replacement pack. I also had the task to save full functionality and classic style of original Valve's models for all of their replacements and don't forget to improve and fix all I can.
If you want to know more details before downloading the pack, you can check a Readme:

Hi, all!
I decided to continue developing of Half-Life Overhaul Pack. Now I have 2 main objectives. First objective is an updating of some models, which have different lacks. All fixed models will be released as a patch to the main pack. Second objective - is a further visual improving of textures, used by models of Overhaul Pack. I want to re-work a big part of these textures to full-color Hi-Res quality and release them as an add-on to the main pack.
But there is one big problem - original Half-Life "Gold Src" engine has no official support for using full-color HD textures on models. So at this moment this part of the pack is intended to use under Xash3D engine. If you still know nothing about this engine, you can check its' profile on ModDB:

Xash3D is a powerful game engine, almost totally compatible with wide variety of games and mods, which can work under original Half-Life (except a multiplayer part, because it's not fully completed). And also Xash3D has a lot of new improved features, for example, proper support for using full-color Hi-Res textures for models, maps and decals. This makes Xash3D an ideal engine for playing singleplayer Half-Life mods. So I recommend to all fans of singleplayer Half-Life mods to become familiar with this engine.
I have uploaded some sample videos with demonstration of using full-color HD textures for models from Overhaul Pack under Xash3D engine. Take a look on them (it's better to use HD mode) and stay tuned!
Best regards, Qwertyus.
OK, some latest edits and tests were finally done, file is already uploaded, and after authorisation by site administrator package will be avaliable for...
So i've made a pack for Half-Quake based from Half-Life Overhaul Pack. Since now i'm playing half quake a lot recently, and just thought, why not?
Now Updated to V.5, not much exactly, only addition of weapons from Opposing Force to the pack, it isn't playable in original Half-Life but still might...
Half-Life Overhaul Pack is a high-quality replacement pack for the standard Half-Life content. It was designed to play original Half-Life and singleplayer...
friend, I've been trying to put the mod for a while, but when I put the reanimation the file has the same name as the default mod, can you explain in detail how you do that?
Reanimation Pack is intended to replace weapon models by models with alternative animations, so you're supposed to copy/paste Reanimation Pack over Overhaul Pack files.
When will you release V2 of the mod? And also, will you do one for Blue Shift and Opposing Force?
Well, I'm working a bit on models for myself, but the plan was to create a pack for Xash3D with better textures etc., but the engine has been changed and the support of HiRes textures has been kinda missed (it now requires to use a special coding mod like XashXT as a base to get them work). While the idea was to make OP compatible with other mods... So I just lose a significant part of reasons to continue the work. Also currently I'm working on another directions of modding, trying to update some mods in a new way, by map editing and such. So probably new releases will follow that way, I have several projects currently.
When I use it on Xash3d say the error "can't initialize client.dll"
It depends on how you try to install it. There is Readme with detailed instructions shipped with Pack, so just read.
Its work
You use it on xash like a mod or replacing the files?
"Can't initialize client.dll" is most likely a problem of using Steam version of game & client dlls with Xash3D. It can't be a problem of Overhaul Pack. Just read the manual about how to set up your Xash3D installation properly: Moddb.com
oh shid new update i thought this was another dead mod
