I think this mod works but not with things that overhaul the map like the BMCE overhauls

ATTENTION! For the mod to work normal, you need to rename the file format from .bin to .vpk, open with GCFScape, extract root folder and delete blend_vistacliff001.vmt. To pack root folder with VPK Packer (install Half-Life 2 or any source game, go bin folder and find file vpk.exe. Drag root folder on vpk.exe file.), rename to original mod file and replace original file. Done.:alyx::bms_crowbar::coolsam:

Even though it is very very subtle, it is very nice.

@Weismann, the mod makes the ground textures of the vista more orange and brown and less red.

I did not see the difference

Thank you now it looks more like New Mexico my Home and not Arizona. Arizona Sucks

@Drag0n but where is altered vista folder? I couldn’t find it.

Found a fix for the issue you guys are talking about; manually put it in your custom folder, then delete "blend_vistacliff001.VMT".

Fair warning, like Mr. Someguy said, there's a good chance that if you use this mod it'll break part of Surface Tension. I had the same issue they did where after the minefield area the cliffs were wireframe.

This is a fix for the game. Thanks!
Mr. Someguy Jan 30, 2019 @ 12:08am 
Used this mod and my ground textures along the cliff turned to wireframe. Sorry that's not very helpful, I haven't had time to investigate it myself. I may look into it in more depth later.

lol, i wish there was an inverse of this mod, just making the lighter stuff in the area darker.

didn't know the southwest was so green.

Unfortunately, this addon screws up the entire cliffside section in the recent December update.

@Cyberman
your eyes must not be very sensitive to colour. There is a subtle difference

old one sorta looks better in my opinion. It looks more red. Like a real mesa hill.
SandWitch275 Oct 21, 2016 @ 7:32pm 
i like the old one but no hate for this mod
CBVicious Jun 27, 2016 @ 12:19am 
Being from New Mexico, I have to tell you there's a LOT of red in the soil. But this is still awesome! Nice work!
cyber Feb 4, 2016 @ 1:22pm 
There's no difference

AMAZING

This is very subtle, but it's a nice little edit.

Were you the guy who posted the Product Placement Skinpack? If so what happened to it?

TheNinjaguy2 is red-green colorblind, but his picture is red and green, that's just perfect.
JohnnyPescado Jun 5, 2015 @ 11:22pm 
more naturely (plants)
BeefCakeColin Jun 4, 2015 @ 4:44pm 
I think this one is based on peoples colour preference. Perosnally i like it it makes it less red.
Kirbonated_Beverage Jun 4, 2015 @ 5:56am 
I'm red-green colorblind, so I didn't see understand the change unill I read the description. lol

I prefer the left picture more to be honest however you did spend a lot of time & work into this. So if there's anyone else thinking like you then your work wasn't in vain.. Good job on the effort and quality. Looking forward to see more work from you in the future. :)
واو انه البعصة Jun 4, 2015 @ 2:09am 
U made it uglier
Riacu Jun 3, 2015 @ 4:06pm 
the original one is the most realistic sand, actually the sand is red in some deserts...
Zurisadai Jun 2, 2015 @ 8:39pm 
umm before is better...
Dalek Caan Jun 2, 2015 @ 12:32pm 
To be honest I find the original one more visually appealing.

Well done man, please make weapon skins.!

Nice the skybox blends in with the rest of the game better with this mod. I also think it would be cool if someone made a mod that makes Black mesa have red cliffs everywhere like in hl1.
Nick Bluetooth May 30, 2015 @ 4:28am 
To me, the changes just kind of make the map look more green. I like where it blends better, which is one of this mod's best strengths, but the stunning vista wide-shots look worse with this mod.
