Half Life ray tracing mod (full path tracing)

Anyone going to give this a spin? Looks pretty good (same guy that did path tracing mod for Quake RTX etc)....

I've modded Black Mesa using the RTGI reshade shaders but it doesn't make a huge difference really, especially compared to this. Wish he'd do the mod for Black Mesa with its improved textures and visuals generally, that would be really great.

How can anybody not already have Half life in their Steam library!?? I thought it was pretty much mandatory
It should come bundled with the Steam install really. Or *shudder* like U2 did on iTunes

Quoting myself - what a total dick I am, just discovered I don't have the original Half Life in my Steam library


I must have had it on DVD back in the day and then sold it. Got every other Half Life game / mod going except this in my Steam library! 71p it is then.....

I've got a vague memory of buying it in a Currys somewhere, along with an electric razor. What a day that was.

Anyone know of any good texture mods/ other mods to improve the visuals as much as poss? Assuming they work ok with this RT mod....

Hmm, for the life if me I can't get any texture mods to work with this RT update version. I'm normally pretty good at modding and tweaking but I'm struggling here - Anyone got any top tips please?

Texture mods won't work with this RT mod!

Booooo.
Seems that way from what I'm discovering. All the texture mods I can find seem to be quite convoluted to set up. Are there not some really simple texture replacer type ones? Or is it just a flat out no go cos of how this RT mod works? There's got to be a way surely?

Think what else he could have done with that 70p

71p!
I don't have the CD/ box anymore, must have sold it back in the day so had to buy it in Steam. I've got HL2 on DVD still though.
