#Half life 1 texture files how to

This guide will teach you how to disable texture filtering for Half-Life, and will also work with all other GoldSrc engine games/mods like Blue Shift, Counter-Strike, etc. Disabling texture filtering will unblur all textures giving your game a sharp, clean, pixelated look should you desire.

There has to be a compromise between these issues. Texture filtering blurs sprites and the textures. Settings that would allow the textures to be affected by lighting, however, also result in the broken texture mapping and lack of HDR support. I may convert these later.Īdditionally, cubemaps in the Source Engine aren't affected by lighting, and will appear to glow in the dark. 2) Half-Life 2 4X AI Textures Half-Life 2: Episode One 4X AI Textures, Half-Life 2: Episode One Half-Life 2, Half-Life Episode One. The single-player maps in Half-Life all have their textures embedded in this manner. This addon does not convert chrome textures used on unused models. It involves embedding the used textures into the final BSP file, which increases the size of the BSP somewhat, but means you only have to distribute that one file.

Because of this, there will be some differences when compared to Half-Life. Spheremaps in GoldSrc and older versions of Source always orientied themselves based on the player's camera, whereas cubemaps are oriented based on their position in the world. This eliminates the issue of tiling spheremaps, and also that of overbright textures on HDR-enabled maps.Ĭubemaps, unfortunately, don't work in the same way spheremaps work in GoldSrc or once worked in Source. This addon aims to give the best looking chrome textures for HL:S models possible.Īll spheremaps used in Half-Life have been converted to cubemaps, and also include HDR versions.
