New fanart start screen background and fancy startup music from the PS2 version of HL.

Some remastered sound effects, but true to the original.

This customized HL: Gold_hd pack includes: The textures are sharper and clearer than on most other Quest game i played so far, while they stay mostly very true to the original. This pack will improve the look of HL a lot. VBO gives a performance boost, so it is nice to use it. If you would use the unmodified Hl:Gold pack from moddb you would have glitches with transparencies when VBO is activated in options. It now uses xash engines system for textures replacement instead of the detailed_texture method. I had to rename some hundred textures by hand to make them work correctly in lambda1vr. At the moment, there is no way for 'non-technical' people to experience the original-half life.Įven if you think the HD-models look better, they should be disabled by default, out of respect to the original Hal-life.HD Overhaul for Lambda1vr (based on the famous HL: Gold by 'Crowbar' pack) The historic work of many Valve modelers and artists has been swept down the drain. The official documentation now refers to options that don't work. Old players will become frustrated that they can't get the original Half-life back, as the the only way revert the change is a launch command that isn't documented anywhere (and at the moment this doesn't even exist!). New players to Half- life will think the game always looked this way. You are effectively rewriting history, as Steam is pretty much the only place to buy Half-Life. Suddenly 'upgrading,' the look of a 15 year old game, with no option to revert is a very bad idea. Heck, even the promotional images on it's Steam page use the old models. When I play Half-Life, I expect it to look the way it did 15 years ago. The version of Half-life available on Steam is no longer the real half life. When Valve made Half-life Source, they had the option to use the HD-models, but chose not to, as the originals are better.īut that is not the worst of it.

The HD-models clash with the art-style of the game and look very out of place.
