I like it a lot! :D

Update for 1.3?
Or this works and I'm missing something?

If I try to load the game with this mod the games CTD. '-'

Only thing I still not getting is the Title Screen Transitions between chapters >.<
Still the same City 17 everytime I boot up.

NOW I DON'T WANT IT ANYMORE!

:D

Oooh, ok I'll try that, thanks! :D

Edit: Hoooray! Sharp characters! xD

I did, but the chars and NPCs don't appear, it is all empty. '-'

Hi guys, can someone give me a little help?
This came out Reddit.com

this whole AI enhanced textures is all the rage with the cool kids rn, question is, how to use it with MMod? "Custom" folder isn't not working for me, what am I doing wrong?.'-'

This is really neat! :)

Sorry to bother, what files should be edited should one desire to bring the pistols ads back?

Also, it heats up, so you can't fire all 400 rounds at once.

Things to report/say/nag about >.<

- I *think* EP1 still looping at the end (I say *think* because I tested only by using cheats since the old save file could cause some conflict right?) ;

- Aaaand the SSAO seems to not being disabled completely, I see it flickering on and off even when the option is unchecked, resulting a bunch of stuff looking translucent-ish.

Other than that, the new shadows are quite nice! And so are the God/Sunrays.

Thanks for everything Mark!

What about the people that finished it already?
Or the ones being helpful in the comments?

Disable the "Combine Better Aim", it is much, much better for close quarters combat.
Also, have 4 turrets on that section is a must.

Yeah, that is a good point I've forgot to mention, I guess Gordon hitbox is expanded.

I don't know if you notice (or if I'm out of my meds and imagining things) but I got stuck on the geometry a lot. I don't recall that happening much on Vanilla.

Took me some time but I finally finished HL2!

On to words!

I cannot overstate enough, I love this mod through and through.
Fantastic addition to immersion, gunplay, audio, graphics and most important customization.
It really elevated HL² for me. I thought it was impossible to love this game even more, welp, I was wrong! <3
I wish I was eloquent enough or have more free time to go into every single detail that really makes this mod tingle for me. It is so subtle and yet is makes a whole word of difference, I was grinning at every little thing I've come across while playing. I was gushing so much during the release but idgaf I'll do it again! MARK YOU ARE AWESOME!

Criticism(s):

The difficulty -

Up until New Little Odessa, I've had the most awesome firefights I've had in a while. It really elevates the combat to such a challenging degree, makes you think tactically, which Vanilla HL² never did. Moving around more, keeping track of where each soldier is, taking a more careful approach when turning corners or opening doors (I've lost track of how many times I got a grenade or a Pulse Rifle energy Ball on my gormless face).

But, soon as I've reached Nova Prospeckt and the enjoyment turns into a not so good experience. My guess is that the problem is due to the closed-quarter nature of the levels past the beach. Reaching the prison was miserable on the hard difficulty, the dual Gunships coupled with the Gunners was awful.

My tip is, either play on Normal and/or disable the "Combine Better Aim" on the Mod Config Menu( YMMV also applies here of course).

The "Better Aim"+ Hard Difficulty is just too much at some point.
The shotgunners are relentless, coupled with your weapons doing less damage and you receiving more, and it is a really bad time.
(Though, partial blame goes to Valve tbh. The hard mode even on Vanilla was garbo. Dumping an entire magazine and the enemy barely flinching was always awful).

Bug(s)?-

Honest, apart from the initial release, I can only report one bug. That one on Entanglement. The teleporter is ready, Alyx goes in, and when Gordon goes in, the script don't start.

Though, loading the save did the trick.

And a curiosity, don't know if it is a bug or not: The initial load screen transitions are in? Mine remains the Station Square on City 17, I kinda miss having the different screens during the playthrough.

Other than that, I don't have anything else to add other than LOOOOOOOOOOVE.

Now, on to the Episodes!
*fingers crossed for no bugs*

Great, just what the comment section needed. smh...

I feel very special because other than the Highway 17 on the first release, I've yet to run into any bugs you guys encountered, at all. O_o

Make sure everything is on Beta channels/Upcoming.

"Learning, coding, tweaking, breaking,
Legends say he did not sleep for 9 years,
All in the name of bringing a legendary game to a even higher level,
Day and night, through many server hardships and cluttered comment sections with issues and mirrors already posted, he refuses to rest, for even to this day, patches and tweaks are still being made,
And voices scattered in the veil of time tells words of many more, still yet to come.
At what cost? To what end?
Hasn't he made enough?
Gunship_Mark_II, sleepless, still works on
Tweaking, coding, patching..."

Use the latest patch, you don't need to switch anything anymore.

Plus, make sure everything regarding HL2, Episodes, Update and SDK 2013 are on beta.

Happy New Year everyone. Rise and shine.
