Information
Ello, this is the largest playermodel collection of rarest, most recent, and old models. Literally, I've been working this model pack since October 2019, but become less adding models for my model until last of February.

I was inspired by Sven Co-op playermodels to make it (although already actually there's some model packs exist for HL1 but they're missing alot of models (most effect was one model pack of 1700+ models all without portrait images available in some Russian modding website) or obsolete). Since then, I has been digging and found some websites (such as two index websites). I also manage several model packs into file while deleting most duplicate files/models (mostly without some skinning differences). I kept some portraits in their original higher than 256x256 resolution for preservation purposes while copied and cropping down to below 256 x 256 (mostly cropped down to 164x200) for ingame to prevent crashes.

Beware, that tons of models in this pack are literally reskins of already pre-existing models (such as EvilB's punisher, anarki or any Quake-sorta character (with was extremely popular at the time when HL1 was originally released), and infamous nympho). Some may look decent anyway, some may little to no differences but does have some clan-related text on back or front side.
Where to download?
You can download this "Nekosicle's Infinity Pack" model pack at my google drive.

Updated: 4-16-2020

Warned u, there's kinda some NSFW models in this pack.

You must to be patient because of file's size of 1.01 GB (including of over 4,184 models). So, it may take a while.

The model will updated every 1-3 months (but sometimes either shorter or longer).
Where I put these files?
Put them into "Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life\valve\models\player" directory. It is also works for Opposing Force or almost any HL1 mod.

NOTE: Please do not put in Sven Co-op 4.0 tho any current versions files which resulted having broken animations instead of showing current animation. This is because these versions don't support the sequences aim_1, shoot_1, aim_2, and shoot_2 (which were left unused in final HL1 game to begin with). This is really intended MEANT for HL1 and almost any mod. However, it would be interesting to see some of models from this pack to be decompiled and compiled for use in Sven Co-op 5.0. But, some creators might obviously not want theirs to be compiled for 5.0.

Same goes with The Specialists or any game uses Goldsrc engine whose has different animation sequences service.

Might be best if you don't replace anything when it asks if you want to do so.

FilePlanet: fileplanet.com (I grab models via wayback machine for easier searching)

Several of index HL1 model sites
Does I see models without Orange HEV suits?
Yes, you would can see almost all models ingame, but you will still get some default placeholder HEV suit models since is it not most complete pack of player model. Anyway, it is a still worth it.
Got Questions?
If you have questions or were in position of any rare or newest model sitting rotten in your files or very old hard drive? Or an original release portrait image or readme txt file? Content me a PM at Discord: Nekosicle#9320 (do not add me as friend in either perform) or comments section.

All credits go to those who did everything.

BTW. this is my first Steam guide. ^w^

April 2, 2020 Update:
-Fixed few files with have spitted the T mdls into their host files
-Moved BLUE preview and readme over to corrent model under by the name BLUE1
-Added 500+ (sorry I actually have lost track in my models) more models
-Renamed MIB2 to MIB1 as there's another different model (but same punisher base design) called mib2 according to PC Punisher's website of his surviving creation model pack collection (whose I'm still currently waiting)
-Fixed sas2 and sas3 files which accidentally placed both bmp and mdl in each folder
-Added 36 original release portraits (7 of em were already in Sven Co-op model packs)
-Added like 31 original readme texts
-Fixed 3 folders with "New folder" name and renamed back to exactly file names (which lately was caused by a bug when supposed renaming folder but unedited name still here under data via zip folder or program)

Hope this is best effect improvement I manage and waited long.

Pack of the year. also i have to correct about the file size.
(9GB would be like 9126MB instead of only around 910-915MB)
