does citadel even existed in 1999?

Fard and Shiddy.

The true citizen uses dark and griddy when talking about 1999-2002 Half-Life 2.

This goes well with HL:A mods ngl

what i like about this one is that there are more scaffold things so it looks like its still under construction

its from 2003 btw so yeah betah

yeah but i love the fact that its still somewhat beta and i dont lkike lghalheeakgeiuki78owqay6 iyu2uold beta designs

not dark and gritty, this is too late in hl2's development cycle to be dark and diddy

dank and griddy

You just got to replace the texture, since the Ep1 Citadel is actually a cutout

It’s pretty easy tho, but alright

sorry, i can't make this in episodic things. It's really painfull to edit models and textures

yo....

i wonder if you can make a version of this but in the eposidic

Yeah, you should start working. They are working by .mdls and .vtfs they are pain in the ass to work with but if you got nerves than you could make!

This is very coooool. Was starting to wonder if I should convert the Beta Project model of this Citadel with Blender for HL2, but here it is!!! Have you played around with the textures to edit it so it fades into the clouds. I can edit it myself, but not sure if the way the model is constructed would allow for such an edit.
