New enhanced shaders mod for HL:Source

Now that does look great! Will try it out for HL next time I decide to play that game.

As for using it in the show, I dunno, I just think it will be odd if he suddenly make any graphical changes to the game while making the videos. I prefer it the way it is now. Besides, Freeman's Mind isn't about the graphics, no, it's about the random events and the hilarious commentaries.

 
The blackout transition is coming up though, that's the place to make any changes if there will be any.

 
I think the show looks good as it is and if he started using it, it would look very inconsistent if you look at the whole series.

 
I put it in Steam\steamapps\cptcool4\half-life source\hl1. If you don't have a good video card, you'll lag unbelievably. I'm sure that a lot of those images on the ModDB page are re-touched.

 
I tried it already, not only did it make things look overblown, but it's moot point since none of the effects will carry over when I record the footage. I use the source recorder so I can record frame by frame and add in motion blur, and it completely ignores these effects.

I also tried some of the textures and model packs out there. In some cases they look much better, in other cases, they make things look worse and less cohesive than the original game, plus I've seen missing textures and errors in animation when recording some models in demos.

 
Completely understandable Ross, Cool, I kind of made this topic in case you didn't know but yeah, stick with the good old half-life...

 
I just use the HL1 HD mod, (it uses some of the stuff from the PS1 release of the game) the shaders don't really improve much, and they use tons of GFX resources.
