11/30/21 This will probably be my last release. I've decided to combine (pun) this with my props pack to make a total all emcompasing pack. Coming soon.

10/31/21 Several updates and I redid the blood splatter.

Tweaks and updates. Lost coast is part of the pack now.

I fixed some of the (warning) signs. They should render properly now in mods.

Original upload text:

It was put together from: Cinematic mod, HD overhaul, vanilla re-mastered 3.1, Munabcho INC and various others that I’ve lost track where I got them from. I’ve also edited or completely remade about 400 textures.

The different packs had some glaring issues that made them unusable. Like EP2 not part of the pack or frequent purple textures here and there. I did NOT haphazardly just throw all this together and hope for the best. I started with the main files from the game and only replaced those files.

So any files that were made special, like the cinematic textures that were part of most of these packs were removed as those named files don’t exist in the game. Or I used them elsewhere that I thought they would fit. I also went through every VMT to try and make sure all the settings are correct.

Decals and overlay ARE part of this pack as well as the FF folder. I also made half dozen or so new FF style overlays and edited a few of FF’s overlays. I tried my best to not have too much repetition in textures. I used a lot of FF style overlays on 90% of the textures to enhance detail.

There are a few problems here and there. I’m not a maper but from what I can tell, in some instances the game is expecting to work with a specific size (512x512) texture. As these are HD, a lot of the textures are 2048x2048 while some are bigger. So you might see the exact same texture next to itself, one looks fine while the other does not. Also there are a few misaligned textures and where two textures sit side by side with one a tad darker than the other. These are issues in vanilla HL2 maps themselves. Probably items addressed in HL2 update. Any issues take a picture and PM me and I’ll try to address it.

These can be used in preexisting mods and for the most part will work. Most issues when using this in mods revolve around stretched textures here and there and signs that are not sizing properly. The pack was made to fit vanilla half life and not mods.

You can use this in a mod you are working on. Include the readme. Give credit where credit is due. Leave a notice in the comment section of this file on moddb.com expression that you are using it. I’d rather you did NOT re-host this elsewhere.
