Attention: Not all skins in this pack are created by me. Below I will leave the credits for each of its authors, Thanks to all of them for their excellent work.


this file will be kept updated like the workshop file
NPC Variants Model Fix[drive.google.com]

Why settle for having to choose between one skin or another? NPC Variants is an addon that allows you to simultaneously have several of the best skins (and even with different statistics) from several NPCs.

I have saved most of these skins many years ago, when gmod 11 still existed... So I don't have information about many of their authors, and many of them are no longer available. Please, if anyone knows any of the missing authors in the list below, write me in the comments who it is, so I can add it immediately here along with your contribution.

I hope you like it

(highly recommended along with NPC Variants)
Do you want to have a similar or more difficulty in gmod as you had in HL2, but are you too lazy to configure everything yourself? Here is a small file (Highly Improved) with all likely the proper HL2 settings like NPC HP, Weapons Damage, Explosions Damage, NPC's Damage, etc... which will give your NPC's a higher difficulty to balance fights between them!

Extract rar archive into your garrysmod folder (NOT IN ADDONS FOLDER)
Remember that you can always edit it as you wish if any of the values ​​are not what you want.
HL2 SKILL OVERHAUL [drive.google.com]

In order to add new skins without replacing the original ones, NPC Variants replaces the original NPC model with the same one but adding new skins... that is, NPC Variants uses a model file, for example, for the combine soldier (combine_soldier. mdl) the same as the original, but the NPC Variants model includes several additional skins... if you replace the NPC Variants model with that of another mod you will not see the new skins

This happens because you are trying to replace the original model in combine_soldier.mdl, and both mods are trying to replace the same model.

Any mod that replaces an original NPC model will be incompatible. However, replacements only of skins (textures) do not have any problem with NPC Variants

In order to help you, you must comment all the details, all actions and steps you followed to be able to reproduce the error and also, if it is a lua error leave the error line. all this in the comments. If the information mentioned above is missing, you will be possibly ignored.
