[ VFX ] Classic Explosion Remake

Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING ABOUT THE ISSUES AND/OR INSTALLING THE ADD-ON :

You need to setup a Custom folder in your game folder, before using this add-on, please follow THIS guide about how to set it up.

You need to do this because of certain file restrictions, this add-on will NOT work if you JUST subscribe to it here on the workshop!

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO :

Subscribe to the add-on, start up the game once to let the VPK download, then CUT it from: "\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\362890\609679571\BMClassicExplosion.vpk") and PASTE it in your Custom folder.

After all the above manipulations just restart your steam client, and you're good to go.

IF YOU WON'T DO THIS CORRECTLY YOUR EXPLOSION SOUNDS WILL BE MISSING AND EXPLOSION EFFECT WON'T BE CHANGED.

Description :

Ever felt like Black Mesa explosion lacking something and you want a change? Then this fancy Half-Life 1 explosion recreation in a particle form is for you! Featuring exact same zerogexplode sprite Valve used in 1998, but in 4k resolution ( in total ) with an addition of volumetric smoke and dynamic spark effects! Classic explosion sounds are also included!



Known Issues :

Explosion effect is rendering underwater. There's nothing i can do about it, BM devs coded it like that
Sometimes explosion might clip the surfaces, just like it did in Half-Life 1, so i am not sure if it's a bug or a feature.

Credits :

Huge thanks to this mister for making the guide.
Huge thanks to my friend for making private custom mksheet tool for 4k spritesheets.



Enjoy!

yes this is what I was thinking about close to original but better :)

I love this, but can you PLEASE tell me a way to lower the volume of the explosions? They super easily drown out other sounds and the music.

Cool mod.

the old stock effects and sounds made half life feel like an 80s action movie

I have a question, how do I make this work with HL2MMod?

Honestly ten times more preferable then the original

Wait, where'd you find this video in the first place?

I used same stock video file Valve used and transformed it into a sprite sheet.
