HL2 FakeFactory's & Ogg's Cinematic Mod(Hires) 2.0

[Herby]

Half-Life 2 FakeFactory's & Ogg's Cinematic Mod v2.20 (796 MB)

The Cinematic Modification adds Hires-Textures to all human characters, some non-human characters, nearly all items, walls and vehicles (and the vending mashine of course). (Hint: If you prefer the original Low-Res Textures, delete or rename the "materials" folder inside the Mod.)

It replaces the original HL2 music with a more classic score in the style of large Hollywood productions, that fits to the specific game-situations. More orchestral, more ambient, with unique themes for combines and Alyx. (Hint: If you prefer the original HL2-music score, delete or rename the "sound" folder and the "scripts" folder inside the Mod.)

It adds a new weapons-balancing and strengthens all the weapons to a more realistic level. No more firing numerous rounds at the combines; kill them with 3 to 5 direct hits, just like in real-life combat, but beware: Your opponents weapons are comparable. After 3 to 5 direct hits (or 1 direct headshot) you *will* be killed. (Hint: If you prefer the original Weapons balancing, delete the file "skill.cfg" inside the Mod's cfg-folder)

The additional Insane Hires Props are previous unreleased Hirestextures for nearly all props in the game, even little items like binders, computerparts, doorlocks and so on. The huge amount of details will give your HL2 virtually the look of a render-intro, but be warned: The amount of new textures will tax your hardware to the limit. Better don't use this pack with outdated DirectX8 cards. Don't even think about it, unless you are using a 256+ MB card.

Supplementing Info for users of the FAKEFACTORY HiRes Packs: This pack combines all the FAKEFACTORY HiRes Packs together and adds some new ones. Just override the allready installed textures with the new ones in this modification.

Requirements:

- Half-Life2 installed

- A graphics-card, that can handle 2048 x 2048 pixel textures (any DirectX9 card should be okay). - plenty of RAM (you will see some ingame-stuttering with less than 1.5 GB ram)

Would adding this mod effect me playing CS or HLDM? How does valve view alering the textures? Wouldnt VAC go nuts?

[bush]

more screenshots, please!

[Gersson]

Makes you wonder why Valve hasn't already done this...

HL2 is in deep need of higher res textures

[jelli]

Sounds really good, will have to give it a try.

Thank you very much.

[Brodel]

what exactly is "a more VALVE-style Alyx"? I'm guessing it's the character, but what does it change?

[DELTETHISACCOUNT]

Will there be more more graphical lag like Lost Coast had if I apply this package?

[icecaveman]

Seems like they bumped up the bump-mapping too :)

[El-Diablo]

time to see what my X1800XT can do :D

[Shetland]

there's no real framerate drop here for those wondering, and i have a lower-end machine, only thing holding it up is the graphics card.

You aren't applying anything, it's simply a mod you unzip to the Sourcemods folder and run like any other mod. If you get poor performance you can simply delete the folders. :)

[AaronMT]

I dont know why, but I installed that and notice nothing different in regards to the textures. I can hear the sound and weapon differences and the intro movie but the textures are still the original.

Everything on max, 1024x768 @ Radeon 9600XT/256MB
