i cant seem to get the mmod + update patch to work, the textures itself work but everything is bugged ( see: https://steamproxy-script.pipiskins.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3489728825 ) if i do everything as described in this guide the game wont even start correctly and if i try to fix it by deleting some folders (which are probably required for everything to work) this happens???

Certain grass type is rendered as a simple flat texture that is cut off:

I'm playing on HL2A + MMod.

The mod is now available on Steam Workshop: https://steamproxy-script.pipiskins.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3373383215

If you're going to make upscaled textures, take advantage of that. Add normal and specular maps to textures that don't have them, modify and add parameters to the .vmt files to improve the materials, etc. There's so many flat textures in the game that don't have any normal mapping or special parameters, so if you just upscale that flat texture, it'll still look flat and undetailed.

The citizen faces don't have normal-mapping of any kind, nor do they have any material enhancements. Main characters like Alyx use normal maps paired with things like phong and what-have-you to make them look more detailed. But the citizens, still use a flat upscaled texture with nothing else applied to it. The noticeable difference is negligible. Give the faces extra mapping and add some of the main character material parameters to them so they actually stand out.

As far as I'm aware too, some material parameters require a normal map anyways in order to be used.

I think what makes these AI upscaled textures fall flat is that a lot of stuff still needs to be done by hand. There's a LOT of text that needs hand-making because it just looks all garbled and/or distorted, because usually the text is a little too low-quality or almost unreadable and the AI doesn't know how to upscale it correctly.

A bigger gripe of mine is that a lot of textures don't really look that much different from vanilla, the upscaling is sometimes barely noticeable, but what I think worsens this is the fact that a lot of textures don't use normal maps, spec maps, and other material enhancements. Because of this textures often look flat and still kind of low quality.

would be possible to update this mod due from 20th anniversary update?

Great job with the pack! what's the difference between the regular version and the MMod patch?

Можливо, що це вже для тебе не актуально, але відповім, як то кажуть - краще пізно, ніж ніколи). У налаштуваннях Gigapixel, на вкладинці Processing / Save вимкни перемикач Add scaling mode to filename. Також поля Default filename prefix та Default filename suffix мають бути порожніми, щоб назва вихідного файлу збігалася з ім'ям оригінального файлу. І так, якщо ім'я нового файлу буде відрізнятись від оригіналу, то гра його не побачить.

Потрібна допомога, як зробити, щоб після обробки Gigapixel зберігав файли з такою ж назвою. І чи важливо це? Наприклад, я беру файл brickfloor001a.png, а зберігається він як brickfloor001a-standard-scale-4_00x.png, чи впливає це на гру, якщо я залишу таку назву файлу?
