This is simply a higher quality version of Half-Life 2's valve logo (Open Your Mind from 2007). This version is from the Source SDK Base 2007 but oddly had worse audio quality, but the video was very clean. I used the same method I did for the version I made for Half-Life 1. I took the version from the SDK and mixed it with the FLAC file of the Valve theme from Half-Life's OST and manually trimmed the song to match the logo, giving the logo both higher quality video and audio. The copyright information was used from the original video located in Half-Life 2's directory, so copyright information is consistent with the original. Credits for the video and audio go to valve, I only take credit for merging these two things together. This is not the version that turns its head. Improvements compared to the original: Slightly higher FPS. Now 24.02 instead of 23.98 Somehow slightly smaller file size (again) Much cleaner looking video Higher sound quality Nothing was manually or AI enhanced. What you see and hear is naturally occurring, even the FPS. Installation: Backups do not need to be made. This uses the Source Engine's custom directory, which means nothing gets overwritten and/or gets reset after an update. Extract the zip file to <path-to-game>\hl2 launch the game, and the enhanced logo should play. This can be used for other Valve games also but if you like accuracy, the copyright information may be incorrect as this was made for Half-Life 2.

This is a patch for HL2: Update mod to update the game to the latest version of Source engine similar to vanilla HL2, basically this guide but are simplified, you just need to run the installer and choose the steamapps\common\HL2 Update folder and install (overwrite anything). Plus, SDL2 2.26.3 is also included. Features: - Vulkan is fully supported with no issues - Gamepad UI is also supported + Community Commentary option added. - Custom chapter backgrounds/images that matches the one from HL2 Update one. - Along with other changes from the latest HL2 vanilla are also included aswell. If you find some bugs aside the one from readme which i can't fix, comment it below, and beside I might be inactive so some bugs might not be fixed. Also it's highly recommended that you don't download the older version (other than 1.0.3) on the changelogs, they are obsolete and contains lots of bugs, and nonfunctional Gamepad UI, always download latest one, 1.0.3 was the last oldest version that was recommended if you have issues with latest version (in case I release a newer version everytime Valve updated the vanilla game). If you have any problems with downloads, try one of these mirrors: GitHub: https://github.com/kr0tchet/HL2UpdatePlusPlus/releases GameBanana: https://gamebanana.com/mods/429040 MEGA: (Coming soon) Thanks to idk for making the patch based off my original tutorial, updated to 2023 version of the game by me.
