[QUOTE=Blooper Reel;38065368]Save the dirty version for the refugee and/or rebel variants, the citizens you encounter at the beginning are alot more cleaner looking compared to the refugees you encounter later on in the canals.
The rebels are more of a mixed barrel - some of them are still dirty, but others are surprisingly clean with cut facial hair and so on.[/QUOTE]
Yes, though the story of HL2 takes place on an Earth where there's not much water....wouldn't the Combine (who or supposedly siphoning the water from the planet) use the water for something other than making sure their citizens are clean? Also, the citizens are beaten up almost every day....wouldn't that mean they'd be quite dirty and bruised?

Maybe and Maybe, but applying the amounts of grime and bruises to Citizens as [url=http://i.imgur.com/1wA5A.jpg]you did here[/url] is just as unrealistic as them looking like supermodels. Not to mention it's ugly and silly looking in the [I]wrong[/I] ways (I'm not thinking "His life under the combine sucks, I'm thinking how terrible that texture fits him). Having each and every one of them looking filthy and beaten is very jarring, not "realistic" (i [I][B]HATE[/B][/I] how overused this word is to justify things that aren't actually realistic at all).
The Citizens of Half-Life 2 were built to look like everyday people, and Valve largely succeeded in that goal. I've never heard anyone say that they look too [I]pretty[/I], in any case. They certainly don't need to be caked in dirt to communicate that their lives suck; Their tired looks, uniforms, and animations get that across in much more subtle and effective ways. I [I]strongly suggest[/I] you not go forward with applying such dirt and bruising onto them. If you have to, make it more subtle like the Left 4 Dead characters have.
[B]**Ok this has been "fixed" sense I'm now using 1 texture for the eyes instead of the original 2 with my new eye shaders, so now the tiling has stopped**[/B]
I've hit a problem, the iris textures keep repeating themselves:

If anyone knows how to fix this problem, please tell me how.
For the pistol will you being using two-handed animations? The idea of Gordon running around with a pistol in one hand just doesn't seem right to me.

Yes, if I can get permission from someone who's done that, or if I can find someone who can model + animate it.
Also, if I can find someone to model it, I'd really love to change the HL2 USP 9mm. to a Sig Saure p226, as it doesn't make sense to have a US pistol be the most common gun around in HL2 (which is in Europe).

If It weren't for me being very busy lately I'd happily help you out by animating what you'd need.
Sorry, I actually want to help you with the animating but as I said, very busy.
I'd like the Sig Sauer P226 as well. One of my favorite handguns.
Hmm, if this is good enough, maybe i'll scrap my personal HL2 pack.
Maybe not.
I'd be a bit careful about replacing the pistol. The USP Match used makes sense as it is one of the only weapons in the game that fires underwater, as it does in real life, though why City 17 is loaded with target shooting pistols I don't know :v:. Yeah the p226 makes more sense for the location, but it doesn't for function.

This is a great USP Match, the modder is still active so you can PM him for permission.

Yes...though if I remember right, there's no times you actually need to fire underwater in all of HL2. So it's not a huge problem if it doesn't, and even if it does matter, what's wrong with just keeping the ability to shoot under water? Will it kill the immersion that much?

Pretty sure you had to fire underwater in Route Kanal.
[QUOTE=RockmanYoshi;38096985]Pretty sure you had to fire underwater in Route Kanal.[/QUOTE]
You can rise up and shoot back after the barrels explode

There is a 2 handed model for the usp, but the author might not be live.
[url]http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=94142[/url] The problem is idk if he still goes online.
If you do use it, dont extract the thumbs.db.
Otherwise, the author deleted it and the person who uploaded this might not be live so. idk

Yeah, those animations were created by a Dr. Zoiburg. They use his animations a lot on Gamebanana, whether he still goes by that name, or whether he's even still doing stuff on steam, idk.
I wouldn't recommend a P226 after reading up, it's just not a underwater firing weapon.
If you decide to change the pistol to anything, it should be a Makarov or MP-443 Grach.

There is no pistol that fires underwater properly
since HL2 is supposedly somewhere near the czech republic, you might want to consider their service pistols
although only the [URL="http://world.guns.ru/handguns/hg/chex/cz-100-e.html"]CZ-100[/URL] looks futuristic enough
also, that guy before was wrong, the USP Match is made by H&K which is a German company. That's as European as they get. The combine use their MP7 as well, so we can assume they chose german weapons and distributed them across europe, so I wouldn't really bother with picking new weapons.

Hmmm, good point. Maybe I will just stick with the defaults then.
Ok, quick question....what looks better for the MP7, this one: [url]http://gamebanana.com/hl2/skins/13324[/url] or this one: [url]http://gamebanana.com/hl2/skins/38758[/url] ?
To keep the tradition going, I would recommend using the Glock 17 instead of the Sig Sauer P226 (In Half-Life 1, Gordon was using the Glock 17).
[url]http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/Glock_17[/url]
Edit: the first MP7 skin looks better

I don't know about using the Glock....I always thought it was the ugliest gun in the world.

Definitely the first one but the texture just seems, I dunno, too clean?
[QUOTE=Takuat;38101295]Definitely the first one but the texture just seems, I dunno, too clean?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, if I get permission to use the model, I'll see if I can get permission to reskin it too, make it dirtier.
One tip I have is maybe request to have this thread moved over to the Valve section. More people will see the thread and might be willing to help.
