Pink HL2

#321

I’m sorry about the MASSIVE recropost, but I’ve been awfully busy. Besides, I was offline on Steam for nearly two weeks due to studies and homework; today, however, I decided to take a break and progress through EP2, and bumped into the new UI, which of course lags me into high heavens. I guess this means I’ll get to be on Steam even less now, but I’ll try to work more on this, I swear!

I already tried recoloring the citadel, actually, but I gave up on it because I couldn’t find the right textures. I’m dumb, I know :frowning: I’ll keep trying though.

Now, a small update for you.

Hunter-Chopper Bomb

I think I’d installed this simple recolor a long time ago, but I had forgotten about it. Just came across it today while playing EP2. They look so cute! :slight_smile:

LOOK MA THERE ARE BALLS COMING FROM THE SKY

Waiting to be picked up and thrown around…

Lookin’ good (and purplish)!

And things went a bit awry near the end…

Look at her, staring indifferently at my suffering :frowning:

Now, back to the game, and then time to recolor some more things :slight_smile: Thanks for the support, guys, I really appreciate it!

#322

I just oticed the heart on teh grav gun.

#323

I (think) found them pretty easy. I’ll go see if I can find them for you.

Edit: Okay, that was easy. They’re in hl2\materials\Metal, in the “Source Materials” GCF.

Edit 2: They all have the Citadelmetalwall prefix.

#324

I believe she’s looking for the CC files, amirite?

#325

Yeah, those are the ones I edited, but when I went ingame they didn’t change… I started Our Benefactors to check the citadel textures, and they were still blue. I’m started to get pissed about this now :frowning:

#326

I DEMAND PINK VORTS!

#327

You should change the color you see on the screen when you die from red to pink. And I mean REALLY BRIGHT pink.

#328

Try editing materials/metal/combinewall01, It’ll either be combinewall or combinemetal.

#329

It’s 077a, I believe.

#330

Yeah, that is precisely the file I edited to no avail. I also tinkered with the files in the Combine_Citadel folder, and nothing happened. Maybe my game is borked…

#331

I’ll test them for you if you like, seeing as my HL2 & episodes are fine.

#332

Hmm, there’s a materials/metal/metalwall077a.vtf which clearly looks like the normal combine wall, but there’s also materials/metal/combine_metalwall077a.vtf which is the same texture but with most of the detail whited out. I think they might both be used in conjunction.

#333

Yeah, I edited both of them but there were no changes. Dunno really, guess I’ll keep trying until they work out…

#334

I thought it was citadelmetalwall077a.

#335

There’s no shortage of variants according to hammer.

#336

Well I guess I’ll have to get some help for that one… Darn citadel, rawr :frowning:
Now, time to post something (sorta) worthwhile!

Buckets

Yay! Something small, but I love recoloring this kind of small things. Thanks to Door and Rabidmonkey for helping me find these textures… They were pretty well hidden :’(

As you can see, I didn’t recolor the paint splatter. I tried, but it didn’t work, so I guess I’ll leave it like this.

Find the hidden bucket!

I found some interesting things to recolor in the props_junk folder, so hopefully I’ll get some more things to pinkify during the next few days :slight_smile:

#337

They’re so awesome, I’m glad I suggested you did the plastic bucket. :slight_smile:
Valve are damned messy with their skins though, it had half of the recycling bin stuck on it.

#338

OMG PINK BUCKETS EVERYWHEERREEEEE

#339

WHAAAAT the paint on the wall isn’t pink!

#340
