Description
High quality uncompressed loading backgrounds. (4:3 not currently supported)

Detailed Comparison[imgsli.com]

I found the blocky compression on the textures while the game was loading didn't look so good at higher resolutions so I remade them.
I made the remakes at the highest quality I could by having the textures be uncompressed and by minimising any colour banding (processing gaussian blur at 30 bit colour)



Installation instructions:

I recommend you download this mod over at GameBanana[gamebanana.com] instead so installation is easier as it only requires you extract a .zip file.

Download GCFScape, locate and open the file workshop_dir.vpk at
steamapps/workshop/content/220/3389390652
place the materials folder from the .vpk file into
steamapps\common\Half-Life 2\hl2_complete

THG would recommend anything 16:9 for these to match but there is no required resolution! :luv:
