FakeFactory's Cinematic Mod

It seems I'm not the only one who would like to use older models in the new versions of CM so I've created this topic to upload models people would like. Right now, the download for the materials folder is rather large (~600MB) since I don't know EXACTLY which folders are needed so I'm erring on the side of caution, but hopefully soon I'll be able to go through the files so I can exclude the ones that aren't necessary. If someone would like to help me figure out which folders are needed it'd be much appreciated.

NOTE: I'm including instructions for the first model, for any subsequent models, I'll just provide links to the files, just follow the same steps. Also, there's a LOT of models and right now each model is about a 700MB upload in total, so I'll only be uploading models that people request. If you can give a picture or specify a model in a version of CM, then I can probably find it.

In any case, this first model is a sort of hybrid Alyx from CM 10.42, which was later removed for some reason in 10.90 and 10.94:



1. Copy the folder below into your CM installation directory in steamapps/sourcemods. It will ask you to merge the folders, but no files will be overwritten. This will make the hybrid Alyx appear in your Character Pimper, and you can install it from here.

2. If you run the game now, you will likely get purple and black "textures", indicating missing textures. If this happens you will need to copy the files I have included below. Again, copy the 'hl2' folder into your root installation directory, but this time the files will be in 'materials/models'. Merge the folders, but don't overwrite anything, as you just need to copy files that don't exist yet (I haven't spent the time to single out EXACTLY which files are needed, so I just included all the likely suspects). After you have copied the textures over, the model should appear as it does in the picture, if not, let me know.

This is what I call "Stretchy Shirt Alyx" from CM 8.2

I really like the hybrid Alyx model, but I would like to have more outfits for her. Are there any of those that you could upload?

What about VALYX_AJACKE from CM7?

HD original Alyx. with larger boobs.

Also, HB_JACKE from CM7.

So if you could automate the process to put HB_JACKE and VALYX_AJACKE in the character pimper of cm11 rc, so I can add them at will to HL2, ep1 and ep2, that would be awesome.

Or, just give me the steps. I have CM7 downloaded. Tell me what folders to add to the CM11 folder so all the needed data is there and how to overwrite models i don't like in the pimper to the ones I would choose.

Thanks

Well heck, how about all of the main characters from CM7 as well as the two Alyxs above. Kleiner, Barney, Eli, Monk, Mossman, Breen they all look great from the .jpg picture I've seen.

Thanks for the links but you do know that Rapidshare can have files up to 999mbs uploaded.

It would be easier to download a big files than many small ones.

Yeah, I did know that, but I thought only premium members of rapidshare could download the larger files...if that's not true than I could totally upload it as one file.

I'll work on getting those models uploaded, but if you want to do it yourself, you just need need to copy the HB_JACKE and VALYX_AJACKE folders from the ../Character Pimper/AutoPlay/Repository' folder (their in the HL2, EP2, and EP1 folders) and the models will appear in the Character Pimper. The next step is to get the missing textures which will be located in '../hl2/materials/models' and just copy the relevant folders, but don't overwrite anything.

Okay, here are ALL the Alyx models from CM7. You'll also notice that the materials download is much smaller for this this upload. This is because I'm reasonably certain (but not 100%) that these are the only textures needed. If you try to use one of these models and you come across missing textures (usually displays as black with purple lines) let me know and I'll upload again. Conversely, if you try these and they DO work just fine, also let me know so I have some confirmation that everything's working, since I won't be able to try them out myself until later tonight.

These are the 5 models in this upload:

EDIT: If some of you don't want ALL of these models, then just delete the folders of the models you don't want. The easiest way of doing this is to navigate to the repository folder and do a search for the folder name and just delete all the folders straight from there. The folder names, in order of the pictures are HB_AJACKE, HB_BRA_LQ_Jeans, HB_BRA_LQ_JeansShirt, HB_TROOPER, and VALYX_AJACKE.

Sorry for the delay in responding. Unfortunately, I believe that that Alyx is one-of-a-kind at the moment, which is a shame because I think that face model manages to be very attractive while also staying true to the character of a girl rebel going up against an army. There MAY be another outfit in 10.90/94, which I'll look into, but because the way files are packed, I'll have to reinstall the whole package instead of just looking at certain files. I'll update if I find anything.
