Half-Life: Opposing Force is an expansion pack for Valve Software's science fiction first-person shooter video game Half-Life. The game was developed by Gearbox Software and published by Sierra Entertainment on November 1, 1999. Opposing Force is the first expansion for Half-Life and was first announced in April 1999. Randy Pitchford, the lead designer on the game, later noted that he believed Gearbox was selected to develop Opposing Force because Valve wanted to concentrate on their future projects. Over the course of development, Gearbox brought in a variety of outside talent from other areas of the video games industry to help bolster various aspects of design. Opposing Force returns to the same setting as Half-Life, but instead portrays the events from the perspective of a U.S. Marine, one of the enemy characters in the original game. The player character, Adrian Shephard.
Description
This mini-mod changes the HUD, or more specifically the health, armor and ammo digits and icons at the bottom of the screen to reflect the general design of Half-Life and Half-Life: Blue Shift, using the familiar Trebuchet MS as typeface instead of the default interlaced OCR-A. This addon has the nice bonus of potentially introducing you to a new word, "canonical".

what's canonical about it again? Shephard doesn't use an HEV suit, so why would he use the HEV suit hud style?
Canonical more in a design sense (typeface), also HLOF equally uses HEV stations unlike Blue Shift, it's not entirely logical either. "Canonical" was the best term I could think of, I didn't really wanna name it "Trebuchet MS" as not everybody is a typo nerd out there like me. But yeah, "canonical" actually primarily focuses on lore I guess, so it is a little unfortunate.
Edit: I renamed it Trebuchet Fix, and will possibly also replace the HEV suit icon.
well the half-life-opposing-force suit is just a reskin of the hev suit
perfect for opposing force edition
Will you also do that with the weapon HUD icons?
