Slim's super [not stolen] autoexec for making shit look sexy and having the game run better

[Khiel]

Just in case anyone wants it, here it is I guess, obvs it's sort of GPU intensive, but as long as you got a GTX 780+ you should be able to run HL2RP at a decent FPS, although most of that is on the CPU anyway.

Other advice I can give if you want your game to look nicer is to get addons like
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=127986968&searchtext=effect - Explosion effect, makes grenades look sexy.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=151065724 - Nicer water, unconfirmed if it works on hl2rp.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=450224159 - FF13 guns, bugs out with ADS a bit, and you probably won't be able to use it after @Pyromancer's weapon changing, but it's a cool change. - Works on HL2RP

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=420236593 - Blood and gore overhaul, I don't need to explain. Unconfirmed if works.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=259517980 - General effect mod for lensflare, tracers, lights, and muzzleflash. Works on HL2RP, can get excessive in areas like U.C hall.


If you're in the mood for taking some nice looking screenshots, the console command "poster 2" for on-the-fly screenshots, or "poster 10" for the best screenshots GMOD can render. I like to use "poster 4" as it'll take a 4k image, you can find in your "Screenshots" folder inside "Garrysmod" . The "poster" console command does not work for hl2rp.

Anyway, have fun with any of these if you find yourself using them, If you've got any suggestions HMU and I'll add it here.

hoo boy

bgo is a complete rewrite of the damage system, so nothing in that works clientside, and that's also the old version, you'd be wanting BGO 4 instead

the explosion effect and the water changes should work, and the FF13 guns will have fucked up ironpos due to using different viewmodel positions and animations to the original viewmodels

and shell's pack is notorious for lighting fuckups and broken effects, even in 2014 so there's no telling how it holds up nowadays

yea more of a singleplayer thing tbh

bugs out with ADS

fucked up ironpos

aye

and shell's pack is notorious for lighting fuckups and broken effects, even in 2014 so there's no telling how it holds up nowadays

works p fine for me tbh, adds some decent effects but i'd be lying if i said it's all perfect
generally this is just a list of what i like usin to make my game look fit

ye, whatever works
try reshade, you can get some pretty nice effects with it but it might rape fps depending on what plugins you're using

Spoiler: image dump

unfortunately, the DOF can't be used in MP due to it needing to access the depth buffer, and as such it needs c_drawhud 0 to function
ty for the poster command, I was using shadowplay for my screenshots

here's two better (imo) blood texture mod

4K Blood Textures - http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=576560900&

Insurgency Bullet Wounds - http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=297516501

and here's some other texture shit i use

HD World, overhauls a bunch of the vanilla/CS props and some HL2 shit - http://www.moddb.com/mods/hd-world-by-clipodel (spawn a leather couch in to make sure it installed correctly, you'll definitely see the difference)

Realistic Bullet Holes, afaik just adds better bumpmapping and new glass textures - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=147387714

gExplo, has more grenade explosion textures for different explosive types, not sure if it's as high quality as yours but it's still pretty good - http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=871426788& and http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=880205916&

Citizen HD Retexture, I personally like this alot because it enhances the outfits. Some of the HD faces are a little weird at first, but I still prefer it. It even makes the EYES HD.- http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=275177651

HD Rebel Retexture (Camo), same thing has Citizen HD Retexture - http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=275224420

Light Effects V1, adds lensflares in all the right places. Not too big and bright enough to look realistic - http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=133433022

HD Ammo, goes well with your HD weapons mods - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=147645334

Feel free to sort through these and add them to your list if you want. You can also download reshade at https://reshade.me/ and it has some nice effects in there. Here's a tutorial how to install from memory, correct me if I'm wrong:

1. Download the reshade exe and run it. It'll ask you to select a game, you'll need to find the GMOD shadercompile.exe. For your convenience, find your steam folder and go to: \steamapps\common\GarrysMod\bin

2. From there, select your shadercompile.exe, and select Direct3D9 as your shader thing on the reshade installer.

3. It'll ask you if you want to install effects or something, click yes to this. Reshade will install and you're done.

4. Once you are done with that, open your game and I believe the hotkey to open reshade is SHIFT+F2 and it'll give you a quick 4 step tutorial on how to use the program.

5. From there feel free to do whatever you want with it. If you mess up, making a new profile will revert to default settings, pretty simple to use. Double clicking on a value will allow you to manually type in the value instead of dragging it.

If I ever get the time, I'll put some of my preferred settings into a new thread with all of this stuff quoted since it goes a little deep.

Oh, and here's the tutorial on how to install HD World:

"open the materials folder then goto your GMOD materials folder and drag everything in the HD World's Materials folder to GMOD (Overwrite conflicting files!)"

I believe HD world also comes with other files inside of it, just drag and drop those into the GMOD > GMOD folder
