Description:

This add-on is a comprehensive re-texture pack for vanilla Combine NPCs in Half-Life 2 with fixes, additions including merging some features from: pre-release, new and old Source engine, and Half-Life 2: Survivor.

Required items AREN’T necessary, as they are alternative options that must be installed along with this.

For the sub-mod from required items to work, it’s NECESSARY to prioritize it above main mod!

ONLY compatible with models using original materials, and NOT compatible with other unadapted re-textures!

General Changes:

• Gadgets’ glowing parts: fixed, restored, and added new + dynamic (active only on live NPCs like in HL:A)
• Materials reflectivity: environment and light (not beta-ish specular maps)
• DXT-decompressed

Metro-Police:
• Added edited GMod-ish bump map and phong
• Added concept-ish glowing eyepieces
• Edited armband and vest symbol in HL:A style
• Fixed crooked glove texture
• Restored missing boot soles from HL2 Beta
• Some texture areas are darkened and lightened

Combine Shotgunner:
• Fixed texture low contrast
• Standardized uniform parts

Prison Guard:
• Recolored shotgunner’s emblems to red
• Standardized helmet parts
• Standardized material shader

Zombine:
• Replaced pre-release texture with retail-like texture
