olive, thank you for the quick respond. mat_specular 0 did not work ill try some other commands. excellent mod otherwise, I've been looking for a HLA zombie mod for awhile now so thanks for creating one.

@lemonmerchant I think you can use it without BMCE, I'm not fully sure though. If you get shiny headcrabs, there's a command that might be able to fix that.
(without quotes) "mat_specular 0"

the HLA Headcrabs seem to be having issues with light sources, particularly the flashlight where their underside of the Headcrab glows bright white, is it necessary to have bmce installed to stop this from happening? i ask because the vanilla H.E.V suit Headcrab is having the same issue.

@Lena, check if there's any other mods overwriting it, I had a similar issue before.

Digivee's Alyx Headcrab mod doesn't work for me, any ideas on how to fix it

No problem, enjoy the mods :)

@[Olive] Nevermind, i figured it out myself using gcfscape. Sorry for interrupting you.

@[Olive] Ok but how do i download it? It's just not a vpk or a folder it's just a notepad

it works, the link is in the description.

Hello again, does Digivee's Alyx Headcrab work?
Cus it's hidden

Alright thanks

Possibly, some addons just don't mix. if you want to keep mat_phong off for good, you can go into your cfg folder within black mesa, and either add to or create an autoexec.cfg, with the command in it. This way it will automatically run that command every time you play.

I sort of found a solution to this, by turning off mat_phong to 0. It removed all the shininess to the headcrab, but when i restart or disconnect it goes back to being shiny, i have a addon called "Newlight direction fix" maybe that's the problem?

Hm, I don't experience those myself, but I do know a possible reason. It sounds like the specular map is being overridden by another one, causing them to look very shiny. 2 things you can do, see if you can find anything overwriting the texture. If that doesn't work, there's a command you can type. "mat_specular 0", after which your game will freeze for a minute to reconfigure the lights, but then the shininess should be gone.

Hey dude my headcrab has these white things, it looks very shiny, wondering if you can fix it?

thanks!

glad to hear. Let me know if you run into any other trouble.

i could also just throw it on .vpk .exe. but no need, works perfectly now giving it highest priority of all mods i got :)

hm, odd. Well glad you got the vpk finally
You know how to open them right? GCFScape should do the trick

Weirdly enough, I downloaded via steam downloader and then I got the .vpk.

Hm, I got the vpk somehow. I think what did the trick was launching the game and letting it mount itself. But I can't remember. the hl2 port of the same hla model should work with black mesa still, you just have to put the model in the right folder. "models/xenians/"

i just can´t get it to download the .vpk for headcrab and with priority issue, i can use hla headcrab zombie in improved mesa but not the headcrab itself

Also while I'm thinking of it, anyone who has trouble getting the headcrab to look like the Alyx one might need to check their BMCE folders for extra zombie models overwriting this one. Keep in mind load order is also affected by alphabetical order.

@Esuardo HC, The link to the Alyx headcrab is in the description. It's unlisted, but subscribing to it should still work fine.

sadly that didnt work, i remember that was also the case two years ago :D

Reupload the Alyx Headcrab mod

you may need to unsubscribe and delete the folder that the legacy bin is in, then resubscribe and re-download. A VPK file should be in there instead of a bin file.

why do i only get legacy bin with the headcrab download? i want the folder :D

that or you have something overriding it

try reinstalling it, the download may have been corrupted

Zombies still have the default hl2 headcrab. When the security zombie is split into a torso, he gets the HL:A headcrab, but that's all. I have BMCE installed (Correctly, not just subscribed on workshop.) Any idea why / is there a fix you can think of?

@[Olive] Thanks for that, man. I appreciate it

@aciu,Thank you for creating it in the first place, I liked it enough to reupload it. I give credit where credit is due.

Thanks for fixing this shit mod that I created when I wasn't in the correct mindset. I need to give this a try some time

Oh thank you thats awesome.

@9Pop, Your wish has been granted.

replace hev zombie pls pls

THIS IS THE BEST HEADCRAB ZOMBIE MOD EVER THANK YOU FOR EVAN MAKING IT

ok ty

IMPORTANT UPDATE: I figured out what was missing and re-added it to the upload. Some extra headcrab textures that I had thought were included were in the wrong folder. It should work now. Make sure you redownload the mod, because the changes made to it might only take affect if you unsubscribe then re-subscribe.

yep

still missing texture

do you planned adapt addons for bm blue shift soon,.later......?

Might be able to fix it later, I think perhaps the upload is bugged. It should have the textures in it, but maybe steam decided to glitch.

oi i did have the alyx headcrab and i downloaded this one so no the alyx headcrab dose not help this mod work

put it in a custom folder, then see if that works. I can't think of anything else, unless you've got another mod overwriting it.

yea.

you have bmce too right? I'm really not sure what else it could require.

So I validated the files in the materials folder but still missing texture???
