Too late now but you could've used urban camo for Nova prospekt guards

this actually looks really good im gonna save this

i actually really like this

no because that mod also replaces the textures

Dose it work with improved vanilla combine?

alr i'll get it in a bit

hey, even though the big ass 20 got removed from the leg plate, the zombine and the stripped reskins still have it

Its always the simple reskins that have the most charm to them.

This is actually good, typically they're just tacticool reskins. But this adds color! Something we don't see usually. Thanks matthewwwww you are a (w)

Gmod port pls

yea i tried to make it look retail but since i made the main soldier green, it ended up looking like the suitless combine soldier concept art lol

dude ok....THIS...is PEAK!! i love the way it looks like a mix of the concept art and the retail

you work so quick, nice one man.

gmod port and alternate version are out

fair, they are a little bit out there, but I personally just think they look cool, also maybe gmod port if you get the time? you just haven't made a gmod reskin in ages and there's not much like these on the workshop.

sounds good i'll probably make that an alternate version though since i'm not a big fan of the helmet lines

also if you can, maybe try making the soldier's helmet black and the shotgunner's brown or something along those lines.

I like the way the prison guard's helmet lines turned out, maybe you could do the same for the regular soldier and shotgunner? maybe make them white for the soldier and orange for the shotgunner (to match the 20 and the shotgunner badge) that could also help differentiate them a bit more too.

I was thinking of basing the Guards after the unused yellow Soldier variant from Alyx (Commander?) a yellow and black look might be worth a shot, though then we'd have Beebine

i'm pretty sure that one was just false speculation, what it most likely was is that whoever designed the textures used an older soldier texture for the base or they brightened the texture beforehand as to keep it from being too dark, which gave off the appearance of their being a lighter texture underneath

as for the helmet marking, i can probably do that, i just have to get it in a specific shape so it isn't warped around the helmet

About the Prison Guards looking as they did in retail... this is purely speculation and might've been born out of misjudgement but on Gamebanana there is a mod that supposedly recreates an early Guard texture, though that is based on a few stray pixels, really just makes them a lighter green

also, small little request from me, do you think you could try adding the markings from the HL:A combine onto their helmets? I know you tried with the old hla style gmod reskin before, but maybe you could try just adding a simple line like the elite in that reskin if you can't figure out how to make the three line thing look good.

by E3 they meant the metrocop's E3 design, the green brown and white one I think.

the 20 on the soldiers leg was added because this is based heavily off of a gmod model pack.

the shotgunner (and by extension the other soldiers) look empty because i wanted to create a simplistic design that feel uniform to each other, in conjunction with the fact that these were supposed to have tactical gear on them to fill in the blanks but i wasn't able to figure out how to pull that off so the idea was scrapped.

the elites have red armor all around their body because i found it really strange how they only have red armor on their arm in their normal textures.

i'm not aware of there being any design for the prisonguards being shown off in e3, every combine soldier design before the game was released was the same as the standard one, prisonguards weren't added until the final game was shipped and shotgunners weren't added until episode 2.

again though, all the textures are subject to change and i'll try and improve them over time

Few suggestions:

-Move the '20' from the Soldier's high to the right arm
-Not sure what you can add but the Shotgunner looks mostly empty save for the left arm
-The red on the Elite seems too smooth and lacks that grit the usual armor padding has and in practice the thighs also having red padding doesn't look nearly as good as I had imagined

Again, great work but a little flair is needed, I'm not too terrible fond of the idea of the Guards looking like hue shifted Metrocops buuuuuut maybe you could base it off their 3e/leak appearance, though now I have to ask if you're interested on doing the Metrocops for this as it might be awkward for two enemies to look that similiar to each other

yup, with a little bit of dark green here and there

So white helmet black armor?

i'm thinking maybe metrocop colors with a digital camo overlay now

yeah i wanted to give them a different design but i struggled on what i wanted them to look like

although I think the prison guards could use a bit more work, they're mostly the vanilla HL2 ones but with altered eyes, maybe a different uniform color?

Is this... PEAK Half-Life 2 modding I see?

great work, I love more subtle approaches to changing HL2's atmosphere

i'll fix it in a bit

the prisonguard shotgunner is oiled up

guh????

does with the mod with ep2 dirty textures (in hl2 episode two only) please
