Half-Life 2 FakeFactory's Alyx Reloaded

------------------------------------------------------
FAKEFACTORYs HiRes Alyx Reloaded
------------------------------------------------------

YOU NEED v2.1 OF THE FAKEFACTORY'S HIRESPACK ALLREADY INSTALLED
TO USE THIS FILES!


The community asked for it - here is it. Alyx reloaded.
Closer to the original VALVE-version, no more Adriana Lima Style.

If you prefer the "original", then install the skin, overwriting
the old file (instructions below)


This is most likely my last skin for at least a couple of weeks. I wish 
to thanks the hl2files staff for the great and unbelievable fast hosting 
of my files. Get a cold beer, guys. No more email-spamming in the next 
days ;)

And many thanks to the great HL2 community, that gave me such 
constructive critics. Great community for a great game.

We see us again after my Aftermath Hires pack is finished.




Installation for Vanilla Half-Life2:
------------------------------------

Copy the complete folder "materials" with all its subfolders  to <path 
to SteamApps>/<username>/Half-life 2/hl2/ and overwrite the old 
materials folder. Windows will warn you about overwriting a existing 
folder. This is okay, as only new textures are copied. The installation 
into the hl2 folder will change the textures for all allready and future 
installed mods. Recommended for user, who wants the new Hi-Res textures 
in all Half-Life2 Subgames and mods.

Deinstallation: Delete the materials folder. No further action required, 
as Half-Life 2 will grab its textures out of the cfg repository.


Installation for allready installed FAKEFACTORY Cinematic Mod Override 
Version:
--------------------------------------------------------

Copy the complete folder "materials" with all its subfolders to <path to 
SteamApps>/<username>/Half-life 2/hl2/ and overwrite the old materials 
folder. Windows will warn you about overwriting a existing folder. This 
is okay, as only new textures are copied.

Deinstallation: Delete the materials folder. No further action required, 
as Half-Life 2 will grab its textures out of the cfg repository.



Installation for allready installed FAKEFACTORY Cinematic Mod 
Non-Override Version:
------------------------------------------------------------

Copy the complete folder "materials" with all its subfolders  to <path 
to SteamApps>/SourceMods/fakefactory_cinematic and overwrite the old 
materials folder. Windows will warn you about overwriting a existing 
folder. This is okay, as only new textures are copied.

Deinstallation: Delete the materials folder. No further action required, 
as Half-Life 2 will grab its textures out of the cfg repository.


Installation for Garry's Mod:
----------------------------

Copy the complete folder "materials" with all its subfolders  to <path 
to SteamApps>/SourceMods/gmod/. Windows will warn you about overwriting 
a existing folder. This is okay, as only new textures are copied.

Deinstallation: Delete the "Models", "Props", "Metal" and "Tile" 
subfolder inside the materials folder (not the materials folder itself!)





Regarding FPS:

If you encounter badly FPS-drops, make shure to set 
mat_forcemanagedtextureintohardware "0" in your autoexec.cfg. And don't 
even think about installing the Hires-Textures with an outdated Directx8 
card, because most DX8 cards can't handle 2048 px textures very well. On 
my developer-hardware (X850XT PCIe, Dual-Xeon 3.2 GHz, Win2003, 4 GB 
RAM) the FPS-drop on highest resolution (1920 x 1200) is approx. 3-5 
frames with mat_forcemanagedtextureintohardware set to "0" (and approx. 
30 frames with set to "1").


Have fun,
