If you like Valve-style models, try grabbing from version 7 (I think) of the mod, as those have the latest HD versions of the Valve models. (HD default Alyx that isn't modeled after a softcore porn model) You may also have to replace some textures as well for the Alyx model to work right. (just something to bear in mind if you want to use it with the newer versions of the mod) Then try other/older HD models, like I suggested with the Alyx model. If nothing else, go back to the defaults from the game. (they aren't hidden in any way, they're a very prominent choice in the Character Pimper) How so, and have you even tried to adjust the settings of the mod with the included utilities? Not true at all. It's actually the first option on the top right of the Configurator utility, and is optional on initial install. It wasn't even a default on option when I installed it. (version 9 and newer) What? Can't handle real world graffiti in a game mod? (I have even personally seen some of them in areas I've lived) He does have a good list of people that would like to have that stuff removed, but you can quite easily replace the graffiti with a graffiti mod. (there are plenty out there) Which version did you last use, and where did you download it from? I don't recall any of this in version 9 or newer, (all of which I have played) or in any information about previous versions. I don't know what you're talking about... They are all compressed into the installer pack, decompressed on install, and the modified HL2 doesn't do anything to the textures. The textures are so large because this is an HD pack, not a SD pack. If you don't want the size, don't get an HD pack. I'd get pissed too if people show up complaining about the (very reasonable considering the amount and type of alterations included) download size of an HD pack that I made and was giving away for free. I only ever recall him saying he wasn't going to update the Valve-style models until the release of HL3. He did almost stop making the mod after v5 because of the negative feedback (and occasional death threats) being massively overwhelming compared to the good feedback... Fortunately he realized the old adage "you can't please all of the people all of the time" and started ignoring the negative people. He hasn't stopped updating, or threatened to do so since then. (at least to my knowledge he hasn't) I also can't find a single location where HE said that you can't complain because it's free... I see plenty of places where others say that you shouldn't complain about a free mod that you aren't helping improve in any way. (this implies that constructive criticism is what you need instead, but most people are too stupid to do anything of the sort) I know that in a private e-mail exchange with him about certain issues I was having with aspects of the mod, he was extremely amicable, and said that he would consider permanently implementing some of the changes I suggested. Not that I've been able to find. Last check all originated from him, or people that he got authorization from to include in his mod. ______________________________________________________ From what I can tell, you probly got your version of the mod from somewhere besides the official site, it had other alterations made to it before you got it, and you never even attempted to use the included utilities to customize the mod to your personal tastes. (you can make the thing look exactly like unmodified HL2 if you disable everything and use the default HL2 models, the only difference will be in the combined maps reducing load times, and a few other small fixes) The reason I'm getting so into this is because I'm sick and tired of people hating on someones hard work without even attempting to find out if any of it is adjustable, and ignoring me when I tell them about the utilities.

Never say that to a guy...

Well now you know, so get over to the site issues thread, and back me up!

MUahahahahahaHAHAHA!!!

Getting ready to go to a concert...

Agreed. That's because ultimately it's not about abstract truth but is simply a power game. The declared beliefs are only a symbol of allegiance to one group or the other and those who are not with them are against them. But then people who truly believe in something are caught in the middle It's extremely unfortunate isn't it. I know I've been guilty of leaning that way on occasion, it's human nature to do so, but I do my best to prevent it from coming out.

21 hours until release, and Ross has commented on it. I will be getting this mod.

It uses Filip Victor's graphics mod... It's been updated since it's initial release. There are some good, and some bad aspects to the Cinematic Mod, but to say it's "god-awful" is a massive depreciation of the author's [considerable] time and coding to try and bring the graphics of an old game into this decade. The Cinematic Mod also includes a utility so you can pick and choose what parts of the mod to enable... He included that because he knows that some people don't like his new trees, or character models, or weapon models, or etc., but that most would enjoy the other updated aspects of the mod. (like the combined maps to reduce loading screens, or the lighting overhaul, etc.)

An episode of Star Trek Voyager that my parents are watching upstairs.

I was the first to report it, but nobody else seems to be confirming it so that the site devs know that it's a site-wide problem instead of just with my system. REPORT ISSUES PEOPLE, OR THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S BROKEN!!!

Getting ready for bed by watching all of the Fast & Furious movies, and researching next-gen firearms.

The Kel-Tec RDB (5.56mm NATO version) and RFB (7.62mm NATO version, I prefer 7.62 variants for most firearms) are far superior, as is the Tavor... Even the Bushmaster ACR series is better. I'm going to post more info about these guns in the thread for it in the Serious Topics thread, because I'm interested now.

I hear a lot of people mentioning that game, but they all refuse to even try Starpoint Gemini 2... (from what I've seen SPG2 is a better game overall)

I AM SOMETHING!!!

Struts. I know things, don't I.

Good... Another war over religion wouldn't be pleasant. lol

Hey! I just said that!

That's easy... I can make one very fast. It's called a cube. (or a sphere, or an octahedron, or any other basic-shape borg ship) lol

If you don't get anything, or it doesn't fix the issue, try to use a different system to download Avast, and try that.

Golf carts aren't trying to run you over, Pastor. You're just being paranoid.

Trying to decide what game to play... And having a headache.

Rasputin - Some Dead Guy from Russian History

That's because 90% of the lights and textures are some version of yellow... Not unrealistic when it comes to actual observations I've made of the real-world areas they use in the game. Well, it's over a year away, so you have plenty of time to decide if you want to give it a go... You don't have to be Catholic to go, or to enjoy the event. Because of the religious nature of the event, or because of the crowds? (I am not fond of crowds myself, but I can't pass up the opportunity to see the historical sights) Such a threat... lol If it's a for-real issue, you need to get your computer checked as there are no problems with the site.
