If you give any of this a download, I'd appreciate any feedback as I actively work on it. If you download either of those extras, install them after the main pack.

All installation should be covered in the readme. I've provided the content for EP1 and EP2, but there might be some undiscovered bugs in the Episodes. If the lighting is too much or doesn't run fast enough, you can toggle it off with F12.Īlthough I've only really tested this in HL2: Update, you should be able to use the pack in the Episodes as well. You'll need a really beefy PC to run the lighting at 60 fps though, as all the settings in the shader profile are at maximum and I have yet to provide less-intensive configs for it. Here's a before shot and after shot of the lighting. This is the current version of the HEV arms I use, and this is a beta version of the lighting enhancement I built myself using ReShade. Since it's been so long since I originally posted the pack, I'll also throw in some extras here if you're interested.

This version of the pack is old at this point, and I still actively work on towards releasing the packs for the other Half-Life and Portal games as well as the newer version of the Hl2 pack (which will also come with a 'vanilla designs only' option as well as world textures), but for now this is the only downloadable version. By taking the suspense, challenge and visceral charge of the original, and adding startling new realism and responsiveness, Half-Life 2 opens the door to a world where the players presence affects every. Some designs have been changed to ones that I've found to be of higher quality in some way, but in general I tried to keep the original art-direction intact. HALF-LIFE sends a shock through the game industry with its combination of pounding action and continuous, immersive storytelling. I posted the first version of my HL2 HD Pack about a year ago.
