Build on a new engine with new technologies, updated textures and color correction, as well as a large number of fixes.

A BIG THANK YOU to all the developers for the various modifications. Without them, nothing would have happened.

The build includes Half-Life, as well as two DLCs (Blue Shift, Opposing Force). Let's go through the mods; the game is installed on the new engine Xash3D FWGS, the textures are handled by ReSrced (HD Graphics Mod), and ReShade adds technologies (HDR, MXAO, SMAA, FXAA, BLOOM). The game has a Russifier (Neural network dubbing) from Jerry Jackpot, the case when the neural network did a better job than many voice-over studios (Gives the game the atmosphere of those very American 90s). Mod Sierra and Valve's intro videos restored will return those original intro videos, and Half-Life - LD Weapons Reanimations pack (Remake) V1.0 will change the animations with weapons.



Textures:
  • Half-Life: ReSrced (HD Graphics Mod) (By Leaufai) (HD textures) (v1.0)
Graphics:
  • ReShade (By Crosire) (6.5.1)
    Realistic Visual (Adds HDR, MXAO, SMAA, FXAA, BLOOM)
Engine:
  • Xash3D FWGS (By Xash XT Group)(v49/0.21)
Animations:
  • addonReportHalf-Life - LD Weapons Reanimations pack (Remake) (Author [_-=MTB=-_]) (v1.0)
Interface:
  • Sierra and Valve's intro videos restored (Author Xblah) (Adds intro video) (1.0)
Russifier:
  • Sound Russifier (Neural dubbing) (Author Jerry Jackpot) (Sound) (v1.2.1)

This is not a build with an "exe" file for installation, I can't do that. So you'll have to install and configure it yourself, you should already have Half-Life purchased and installed. If you want to play Blue Shift and Opposing Force, they should also be installed. But what if you DO NOT have Blue Shift and Opposing Force purchased in your library, but you only want to play Half-Life? No big deal, the main thing is that you have Half-Life. (IT WILL RUN EVEN WITHOUT BS and OF)

*INSTALLATION EXAMPLE I WILL DESCRIBE Half-Life + Blue Shift + Opposing Force*

Installing the assembly:
  1. You must have PURCHASED and INSTALLED a clean Half-Life, as well as two DLCs Blue Shift and Opposing Force, the latest version. (LICENSE ONLY!)
  2. Once you download and install, run a clean Half-Life.(SO THAT THE GAME INSTALLS ADDITIONAL COMPONENTS, AND AT THE SAME TIME CHECK THE GAME'S FUNCTIONALITY)
  3. Then go to the root folder with your installed Half-Life, and delete all files from the folder. (DO NOT DELETE THE FOLDER ITSELF!)
  4. Download the archive with my build via "Yandex.Disk" or "uTorrent"
  5. Open the archive and copy all the archive files to your root folder where you previously installed the original Half-Life.
  6. To run the game, there are Half-Life_Remastered.bat, Blue Shift_Remastered.bat, Opposing Force_Remastered.bat in the root folder. Run the game only through them! (By the name I hope you understood which file launches what)

Important:
If you want to enable English voice acting and text;
  • You need to go to the path Half-Life\Half-Life_Remastered, delete or rename the file RU.pk3. Then the game will be in the original language.

ReShade stopped working, although it worked before;
  • If you do not launch the game correctly (for example, through Steam, and not through Half-Life_Remastered.bat, then the file will disappear from the root folder opengl32.dll because of this it stops working. (If you re-download the file, everything will work)

Two disadvantages of ReShade;
  • Because of BLOOM in Opposing Force when turning on night vision mode, there will be an overly bright green screen.
  • Because of MXAO in Half-Life, Blue Shift, Opposing Force when turning on the menu, you will be able to notice shadows that are displayed in the game itself.

I have collected mods to improve the visual effect. As a result, I decided to share with people who do not want to install all this from scratch. Many thanks to the modders for releasing various mods and not forgetting about such a great game! Enjoy the game!
