HL2 Beta Mega Patch

[Витой]

New skin for healthvial model by A-Shift

Texture for a rat model by OddDoc

I can't belive what's left of combine elite soldier  I am pretty sure I saw the 'rainbow' texture somwhere in game files

Well, there were few variants for this elite soldier's camouflage, including that multi-coloured you mentioned. But we decided to include that predator-like camo.

I don't think the Combine Elite's camo texture is corrupted. The Strider's du/dv distortion effect texture when it's using its warp cannon is rainbow-colored too. I believe the rainbow-coloring has something to do with the refraction in the distortion effect, and therefore the Combine Elite's camo must've been refractive instead of being purely invisible like it is here (and for the record, the Predator's cloak mode is also refracting light instead of being completely transparent).

Um , is megapatch 4.0 going to release soon or I rode the russian section incorrectly?

Depends on how soon we'll get few weapons models other people promised to do for the patch.

The patch will give you an option to install one of 3 metrocop model versions: leave the original one (same as in retail), e3 2002 version (recreation by Based Eyman based on the ihvtest model) and e3 2003 version (differs from the previous one by textures of the jacket, vest and belt).

Models were ported into the hl2 beta engine by Alfeos.

Upon patches installation you will also be given a choice of installing one of 2 gasmask citizen model remakes:
Gmadador's

or Based Eyman's

The models has full citizen AI functionality

It is possible that Red Katana's version will also be added.

Both Borealis Worker and Worker have now .mdl version 37 and also set on citizen's bones, so they have same animations, not just idle.
Odell model also has the proper textures for pants and boots now and also few additional animations from HL2 retail.

Looks cool

[ectoBiologist15]

Ooh, looking forward to the new update.

The cremator's model now looks how it is supposed to be - with the pipe connecting his acid (or plazma) container on belly with his gun

Also here's the 2002 "fat" zombie model by Alex, which looks closer to the original than the previous one by Jman

[xHierophantx]

new fat zombie looks great !  and what about the shotgun also will include in mega patch 4?

[Витой]

Both workers variants have different heads now, just like citizens

and what about the shotgun also will include in mega patch 4?

Yes. As we stated in the first post of this thread, you will be given a choice to install 2002 weapons with old red suit hands or 2003 ones with retail-like hands

[Витой]

2002 "red hands" version weapon models that are new or have been fixed, including new world models:

[PikaCommando]

What's up with the rocket/missile launcher? I've never seen that model before.

Do we need clean beta for megapatch 4, or we can just install it over megapatch 3 and leaknet?
