THE FLOOR IS DARK AND GRITTY!!!

Oh okay... If HL2 RTX wasn't in the works, it mighthave been worth it for skilled modders to redo all the maps to a higher standard. But since it is, we wait for RTX :). Cheers mate.

Oh no, not at all. It's actually quite simple. The issue, unfortunately, is whether or not lighting re-bakes can be uploaded as mods to the workshop in the first place.

Ah understood, so I'm guessing modders can't do such map compiling on their end ?

Because of how maps are baked, adding a normal map or specularity to a texture that doesn't already have it *usually* won't provide additional details.

The reason for this is that the map compilers know which surfaces do and don't have reflections when the map is being compiled. This means that when a material is given reflections *after* the map has already been compiled, it most likely won't have reflections in-game.

The same can be said for normal maps. When the lighting is baked during the compile of the map, that includes per-pixel normal map shading. When you add a normal map after the lighting has already been baked, it can only work for dynamic lights such as the flashlight or muzzleflashes.

Are there any other textures you could do this for? I noticed many tiles surfaces lack spectacularity for some reason

Looks fantastic, thank you

@PhoenixPerson So, that's map dependent. "Tilefloor001a" is JUST the base texture. "Tilefloor001b" is the base texture with a normal map and specular map. In any place where the floor is reflective and bumpmapped in the original game, it will be reflective and bumpmapped with this mod, while any place that *isn't*... well, I imagine you get the gist.

I'm confused, does this provide the cool bump/specular mapped look as seen in the one image? that would be great.
