Breencast Reverb
Adds reverb effects to the jumbotron monitor sequences in both HL2 and EP1 inspired by (but not a replication of) the OG Xbox version of HL2.
This mod requires additional installation steps as seen below.
Certain Workshop files aren’t allowed to override base HL2 files. You have to manually move a couple files from this addon into your "hl2/custom/" directory.
- Go to the Steam library where you installed the game.
- Navigate to
steamappsworkshopcontent2203366771296- Rename the files from "workshop_000.vpk" and "workshop_dir.vpk" and replace "workshop" with whatever such as "BreenReverb_000.vpk", "BreenReverb_dir.vpk"
- Move those files to where your game is installed in the folder
steamappscommonHalf-Life 2hl2custom(create the folder if it isn’t there already)
To test the effect for your own comparison, type in console "dsp_speaker 50" to revert to original audio and "dsp_speaker 51" to use mod’s audio.
Only do this to toggle the effect for testing. The game will switch effects automatically and using this command can break that.
This mod includes files that could potentially become compatibility issues for other mods. I will try my best to maintain compatibility patches in unlisted uploads below.
The files that are impacted include:
- scripts/dsppresets.txt
—Entity map patches— - background01
- d1_trainstation_01
- d1_trainstation_02
- d3_c17_03
- d3_citadel_04
- ep1_background02
- ep1_c17_01
- ep1_c17_01a
- ep1_c17_02b
- ep1_c17_05
Also included are some slight fixes and tweaks. The last map "d3_breen_01" is affected by the reverb too with Breen’s monologue to Eli, I think it sounds good so I kept it.
