Does anyone know where this is available? I think I got it from someone on here ages ago.

Basically, a lot of the default textures are 'sized' wrong, which makes them show up blurry in-game. Here's an example of how dramatic this can be:

So if you ever wondered why the stock textures looked like ass, that would be why. Someone went through all of them, though, and fixed the sizing and tweaked the sharpness to make them way prettier.

I ask because I'm arguing for the use of -nowadtextures in a tutorial I'm doing (vs -wadinclude). This wad makes using the stock textures included in Half-Life pretty much pointless, and thus -wadinclude pointless. If you want a stock Half-Life texture, you should get it from the improved custom wad, not from the originals.

Please let me know... I have the wad, just not any source or credits (don't think it had a readme). It's name is thwc_hl.wad and it's 30mb, 20mb zipped.

Thanks! :biggrin:

(I know this is sort of an 'editing' question, but I don't get the impression the Half-Life 2 mappers, who might remember this from their HL1 days, even read those any more)

That's them if anyone wants a look-see.

After doing a bit of sleuthing, I found that This fella was talking about it in a German forum.

Try contacting him.

(I assume its him because of the similarity in names "KIIIA1" and his email has a German origin)

Thanks, I'll see if I can find any more info. At least he lists the name of the contest, so that's bare minimum for giving at least some form of credit.

AHA, think I finallly googled it since I knew that it was "The Wall"
