That's not a scientist. It is "Barney" the sec. guard model in HL. He was always dressed in blue.
As for me, I have been into loading up Half-Life: Source when I get the itch to replay the original game. I really, really enjoy it.

Scientists have had blue shirts under their lab coats since the HD Pack came with Blue Shift, what are you on about?

No shit it's largely a compilation, it (
http://www.xen-raiders.com/sites/?show=8) was never claimed otherwise. Eg. the human NPCs are AmbientImpact's remakes of the Gearbox's "Super HD" models from the PS2 port, which I've been using with HL1 for years. If anything this pack is visually more faithful than Gearbox's HD pack, since it doesn't replace the Glock with a Beretta, MP5 with a M4 Carbine, etc. I also noticed that they fixed the pistol infinite reload bug.
Just seeing HL1 with high detail world textures makes the mod worth it for me. Amongst all my playthroughs of HL1 in recent years I've always wanted better looking world textures.

No, but you strongly implied that all the work was done since “Sept 2010”, which is simply untrue. In fact you even gave it special credit for that.
Please read carefully and look at the pictures first - the scientists don't wear DARK blue shirts. Look at how saturated their clothing is in both of those screenshots.
i appreciate that the pictures are small but the first one is certainly big enough for you to be able to see. i think i recognise them from an azure sheep hd pack.
It's quite strange considering that true to the original hd and sd scientists are available to download too.
From looking at the pictures, these weapons seem better - same models, no silly fluorescent bits (

i think i ended up getting different bits from different places when making my own pack i was happy with, so i can't remember exactly what was used.
Thing is on the moddb page they even have a vote about whether to have a blue or red crowbar. Why change the colour for the sake of it? Because it's ‘cool’?
You're right about the world textures though - i'd never ventured totry and update those. so don't know if anything like that was easily possible or available before.

Those 'silly fluorescent bits' are the pistol from HL2. Not crazy to think that people would want that gun in the first game.

The pistol in half life 2 is completely different to that, i have no idea what you are talking about.

There's a shock.
