I think someone was supposed to make a new model for the texture so they used the old handle texture because they ran out of time to finalize the game and the beta handle texture fit the model better

I guess this one looked more beta to someone, so they messed it up.

unsure if anyone else has this, but for some reason this addon stopped working out of the blue one day? i don't recall installing any addons that could break it either, so im really confused

I think the 2002 texture makes it look somewhat more faded and worn.

No flak to this one, though.

it's symbolic, i doubt you'd be able to understand

how did they mess this up

Did you restart your game? Do you have content that includes default HL2 assets?

this wont work

oh

Well now you do, nearly a decade later.

its probably not 100% accurate, the handle texture would (likely) need to stretch the existing UV horizontally as the reason it was unused was probably because Valve would need to do that to the UV to make it fit the texture better, considering how badly done the head UV was in the final game to show black spots, they probably just didnt care and opted to use the 2002 handle out of laziness, while i could attempt to refit the handle UV, i lack the proper experience to do that as a mainly texture dude with very limited modeling stuff, plus that would come at the cost of making it incompatible with reanimation mods.

bruh we could have got this :skull:

ok i fixed it nice reskin

it dosent work for me ive even tried to focus on the differences very closely but i don't see a difference but i have a worldmodel replacement pack for all hl2 weapons so maybe that is what is conflicting

if you take requests, could you do a hl alyx inspired skin for the default crowbar?

thanks nebo

Sure

hey nebo its me niko could i use your comparison image?. i will credit you of course

Finally, playable game
