You can enable the console by setting HL:A's launch options to "-console -vconsole" in steam.

How would I do that in-game? Is there a console you can access?

@Eagle91
Addons should work on preexisting save files, so you shouldn't have to start a new game for the body to show up.

Try typing below command in the console and then restarting/reloading the level.
It enables only the player body addon and the scalable init support addon:
default_enabled_addons_list 3581426521,2182586257

Just got around to actually trying this and it's great, the only complaints I have is the lack of detail on the sleeves and the arm IK is a little wonky but otherwise this really boosts the immersion for me

I have the mod and dependent mods installed, but I still only see the hands with no body. In the add-ons menu, all options appear to be active (bright straight line is ON, right?) but it doesn't seem to be working. Does it only work on a new save? I'm on mission "Is or Will Be" currently.

i can confirm this mod works with the jumping and sprint mod and even the holster mod

At this point all we need is the combine body and the ability to hold the gun with two hands

I pushed an update that allows you to change the body between Alyx and Gordon.
On index, press the dominant hand analog stick for 1 second (Stand Toggle bind)

Whats next?

Personally won't use this mod myself but I can tell a ♥♥♥♥ ton of work went into making this! Good job!

gordon update dropped just when i wanted to re play the game again how nice

Peak addon, now it really feels like a source game.

plz make it gordan work ith the gloves add on

Right now It's based on the map you're playing. If the map logic enables Gordon gloves, then the whole body will spawn, same with Alyx.

How do I get the Gordon arms to work

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!! Someone finally did it!

beeing floating hands breaks my inmmersion but man ur a life saver

This is incredible work! amazing. would love to see a spin off of this with a combine grunt body in the future!

someone make ivan the space biker

Please add combine bodies for players

(Not that it's much of a problem anyway, both can be used together with 0 issues.)

kinda sad that this isn't compatible with just "AlyxLib", since it's made to be a better replacement of "Scalable Init Support".

We better get HEV suit next...

good ♥♥♥♥ my guy, keep it up!

Выглядит куда интереснее, чем просто летающие в воздухе ладони. У игрока наконец-то есть тень, тень Alyx, причем вполне себе корректно выглядящая и двигающаяся.
Вид от первого лица тоже более-менее, но, как и в оригинальной игре, размер груди Alyx не впечатляет :)
Главная проблема мода - это модель самих рук, их положение, сгибание локтя - работают некорректно. Это бросается в глаза не всегда, но поведение рук нужно дорабатывать. Советую взять за пример работу рук в игре Batman: Arkham Shadow.

Alright thanks for the response i haven't played Half Life Alyx since launch, and only recently played it back in 2023. So this is good news since this mod plus the Beta shotgun shells, Beta P250, Beta Combine Grunt, E1ME1 gloves, & Sprint mod is giving me a reason to start playing the game again.

This addon uses default Alyx gloves and doesn't replace any game files, so any glove replacement mods should work.

Ofc, if someone wants to make a custom player body that doesn't use stock Gordon/Alyx hands then they would have to incorporate a glove bonemerge/replacement into the prefab itself.

I wonder if saw hero's E1M1 gloves mod will work with this, But i'm guessing probably not then again it'd be cool if it does.

It's working in Coop?

this is awesome good work

Nope, Full Body Tracking won't work, but wizards and magicians are welcome to try and figure out if it's even possible

Does it support FBT?

it gets stuck in a falling state when i teleport but apart from that this is a great mod, well done

Im going to try and make a halo skin using the source files, thanks.

thank you for your hard work; i haven't wanted to play alyx since I first beat it

but is it... fully modeled?

mhmm.... i know why peoples download it but cant proof it (torso of alyx)

The Half-Life Alyx mod of all time.

someone actually did it, this is awesome!

I finished the game and then i saw this mod bruh hahahha. I used it on Gunman maps and was so well made. My congrats.

Ok, I'll fix the jittering arms issue and the weird flashlight shadow next week, then I'll work on a Gordon model ;)

But If any of you find more issues, write them down so I'll bundle the fixes in the next week's patch

FINALLY THANK GOD

So how long until we get Full body Tracking for this?

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ it looks like something straight out of bonelab
(add a gordon!)

Hello other bonelab modder 7 comments below me
