Unpack into C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Half-Life or where you have Half-Life installed.

Game Settings

In order for valve_addon folder to be enabled in Half-Life, navigate to Options -> Content, and tick Allow custom addon content.

Otherwise it is still possible to extract the files directly to the valve directory, it will work, although the former approach is cleaner.

In console: exec addon.cfg - this will automatically apply the settings from addon.cfg. Otherwise you can use your own settings, or execute only part of the config manually.

Config Notes:

• r_detailtextures 1 enables the detail textures (0 - to disable).
• cl_cross_enable 0 enables the sprite crosshairs (1 - to use BugfixedHL crosshair).

Green Crosshairs - for this pack, the croshairs were manually upscaled and outlined.

HD Half-Life retextures pack - in this pack all detail the textures were made less vibrant: brightness +25, contrast -15. This is done to optimize the DM experience.

Black Mesa Weapons Pack for Half-life 1 - for this pack, the models were manually adjusted using HLMV. The models are optimized for FOV 110 (default_fov 110 in console). Some of the models are taken from valve_hd folder - where they look better. Most of the sounds from this model pack were removed in favor of the original ones.

BugfixedHL-Rebased - provided optional addon.cfg file to adjust the default DLL settings.
