Description:
A vanilla-style remaster for Half-Life 2’s maps, featuring slightly enhanced brushwork, renovated skyboxes, and a ton more props. NOT COMPATIBLE WITH EXTENDED ZOMBIES

Features:
  • Enhanced skyboxes (where needed, including skyboxes copied over from the anniversary update)
  • More props to populate the levels
  • Added brushwork/buildings when applicable
    (All of the above have been added using existing textures and models.)
  • Corrected discrepancies between many maps
  • Some broken "logic" here and there has been fixed using doors, ladders, and scenery

*p.s. Detailed Tree Cluster is highly recommended with this mod because it fixes their lighting at night*

This is a replacement version of my earlier campaign, and is preferable to it in every single way. In addition to being recompiled as replacements, all maps have been compiled in both LDR and HDR, and received slightly better lighting overall (especially on static props).

Bugs:

If you get a lot of crashes or completely broken maps, try disabling all other mods and/or setting this mod to highest priority.

One crash that does occur: transition between c17_02 and 03. I’m not sure how to fix this, sorry! There are also problems with the transition from coast_07 to coast_08 involving the buggy, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

Also, d3_c17_09 is finicky. Most of the time, Barney’s scripting breaks after the snipers are gone. If his scripting breaks, just lure him to the level transition to d3_c17_10a. His scripting starts working again upon the level change.

There are areas in other maps where NPCs (Alyx, Grigori, Barney) and platforms (specifically the prison_08 teleporter platform) might stop moving but usually moving around or moving on to the next area fixes their scripting.

Thanks to the people who playtested: @hitsmevew, @MNC, @Jeet, @Ennard_Idk, @kleiner but not really kleiner
