Note
The addon "BMS Classic" is a complete overhaul of the campaign and overrides almost every level. Because of this, other addons that override map files will not be compatible. This includes BMCE Overhauls, OAR Uncut, We've Got Hostiles Vent (this includes that anyways), and VOX restorations. The only exception to this is for the Inbound Revamped addon since BMS Classic does not alter any Inbound levels. There might be an addon in the future that combines these two mods together for compatibility, in which case I will update this collection. Thanks, that's all.

One texture that shows up repeatedly throughout the game is an old relic from Half-Life 2. This mod replaces that old concrete texture with a new, faithfully recreated version. The original texture from Half-Life 2 is 512x. The one in Black Mesa is 1024x. ...

Crossbow Scope Redone
Created by Trixie Bunnyfeet
In the December 2017 Black Mesa update, the crossbow scope was updated to remove the original render-to-texture scope. This was done for a myriad of reasons but its replacement was a baked texture of the viewmodel from behind. This would be okay -- if the ...

Fixed "Thunderclap" Radio Conversation

Adds background sound effects to the "Thunderclap" radio conversation in Surface Tension. My own take on Drunk Headcrab's Radio Fix except this one puts gunfire noise in the background of Thunderclap One's transmissions instead of helicopter noise. This is...

Permanent Bloodpools
Created by c4sual
Adds permanent human and alien bloodpools. I am surprised nobody did this before. It should be in by default, it's just a simple texture, but it adds so much to the aftermath experience. Bloodpools will now only disappear when there's a level transition. I...
RNG Supplypod Notes
