[QUOTE=halfer;47507496]This video reminded me how much I love Hunters. The best enemy in HL2 and it's episodes.
They're pretty smart, fights with them are dynamic and fast (never before in HL2 I had to frantically pick up objects with the gravity gun to throw them at the enemy), they look pretty badass, they sound cool [sp]and they're also pretty cute; I love that little "stun" animation they do when they're hit with an object[/sp][/QUOTE]
I wish they still sold the plushes for them. They need more HL merch instead of having TF2 shit all over.

Decided to try my hand at "restoring" some of the Half-life 2 cars, any suggestions?

Goddamn amazing. When you finish, put that shit on the GMod workshop. I'm so done seeing everyone use these old, rusty, broken cars in videos/pictures where it's not fitting.
Plus, what you've got look pretty nice so far. I remember always taking the old cars and trying to fix them up by putting wheels on them
All I've got to say about them is that they're a little too low-poly on the trunk and tires, and the doors sticking out look a little weird.

imo the radar should be moved over a bit, the steering wheel gets in the way
It somehow strikes me as odd to see HL2's Eastern Europe filled only with old socialist bloc production cars. I understand it's more of a stylistic choice, but by 199x/200x, there were plenty of decent Western cars driving around this part of Europe.
Also lying around is a Cadillac Gage V-150 armoured car. An even stranger choice for something that's supposed to be taking place in Eastern Europe.

That just seems to be how Valve does things for some reason. Like Left 4 Dead being in 2009, but almost all of the cars are 70's/80's/90's models.
The Gage Commando was probably used because the modeller thought it looked Russian or was Russian.

left 4 dead: roman zombie survival
[editline]12th April 2015[/editline]
i wouldn't mind a zombie apocalypse taking place that era
actually holy shit that sounds awesome
I remember when there was an edit war on the Overwiki over whether it was a BRDM-2 or a V-100.

My guess is that blocky, older cars are a lot easier to design and model than the more rounded, streamlined modern cars.

Try and flatten the doors so they don't all look slightly ajar. Other then that, they look good.
Yes, the Gage Commando does bear quite a resemblance to the BRDM-2 and it was probably chosen for this very reason. Though, one part of me likes to think it's some sort of relic from when the storyline still had Cpt. Vance and his troops around. I remember reading something about them still using vehicles like the Bradley, so having some V-100s (not 150s, as I first wrote) wouldn't be so farfetched.
Ironically, the latest vehicle in the family, the M1117, is also being produced in Romania right now.

speaking of which, for a brush the merkava looked really good

They also look far more distinctive and visually interesting if you ask me
For the HL2 cars, should I make a replacement version for HL2 that would replace the "more intact" versions with undamaged cars?
[QUOTE=RenaFox;47514281]For the HL2 cars, should I make a replacement version for HL2 that would replace the "more intact" versions with undamaged cars?[/QUOTE]nah, for hl2 a more up-to-date form of the trashed versions would be nice. more little details like broken windows, moss on the tires, etc.
I'd prefer separated versions personally, but replacements could be an optional mod for people who want them to replace the model in HL2 rather than add a new one to Gmod.

It's for the hatchback model in the leak.

If I remember correctly I kept it there so when Alyx points to it she is actually pointing to it.
In retrospect I should of put it in view better.

It's leftovers, and it serves no purpose other than someone forgot to remove it. That's the texture sheet used by the hatchback in the HL2 leak. It's no longer used because the retail hatchback uses a separate texture sheet with a completely different layout.
Kinda a shame though, it's higher quality than the textures in retail, and each hatchback had 5 skins (white, red, orange, blue, and yellow).
Does anyone actually have the hatchback mesh? And could someone send me a copy of it and the textures?

Hear me out but
I've got a hunch
I think it's for a car
[QUOTE=RenaFox;47514927]Does anyone actually have the hatchback mesh? And could someone send me a copy of it and the textures?[/QUOTE]
You mean the model? Yeah it exists in the leak files and looks about the same, the crushed one looks different but that might just be me. There's about a dozen files between the two cars though, and about half a dozen for textures.
