This fixes some inconsistencies across the three official Half-Life games to make the menus fit with the game more and bring back the WON styled text as close as possible with the Steam Version. This does not add the missing animated logos, fix menu background scaling issues, or add/modify menu functions. This is simply text correction for the menus. Color scheme for Blue Shift is not included in this download but can be downloaded from here instead. Installation: Note: The way this is installed ensures no updates or game file verification will delete/overwrite the custom files. 1. Download the file. 2. Extract the zip file to the main installation directory (where hl.exe is located). 3. In every game, go to the in-game options menu and under the "Content" tab, make sure "allow custom addon content" is checked. Click apply and the game will restart with the new text. Changes for all 3 games: Made main and pause menu text all capital, this is how it was in the WON versions. Changed "Options" text to "Configuration" like the WON version. Changes for Half-Life: Replaced "Training Room" text in New Game menu with "Hazard Course" Changes for Blue Shift: Replaced "Training Room" text in New Game menu with "Hazard Course" Replaced "Play Half-Life" button text in New Game menu with "Play Blue Shift", since that is the name of the game anyway. Changes for Opposing Force: Grey text on the side of the main menu options have been changed to their equivalent text from the WON version of the game, soldier! Replaced "Training Room" text in New Game menu with "Boot Camp" Like the WON version. Replaced "Play Half-Life" button text in New Game menu with "Play Opposing Force", since that is the name of the game anyway. Changed "Are you sure you want to quit?" text to "You going AWOL on me, son?" From the WON version. Please let me know of any typos I missed.

Obviously from the screenshots, this is not the same as this version. This is one I made myself since I wanted a more WON styled coloring for the recent update to Half-Life. I was a little disappointed this was not done during that transition. Note: This does not fix the scaling issue with the background on widescreen resolutions or add the animated logo. That will involve more work to add, but might be possible with the new update. This gives the menu for Blue Shift (or literally any other Gold Source game if you wanted to) a more accurate Blue Shift coloring. It is not entirely based off of the looks of WON as I mainly wanted the menu to be appropriately colored for Blue-Shift...although I went the extra mile to give the menu buttons a more accurate font. You may need to install the font "Courier New Bold" On your system if it's absent. I do not know where you get it if not installed already. Installation: 1. Download the file. 2. Extract the zip into the game's installation directory (where hl.exe is located) 3. Launch the game. 4. Go to the in-game options and under the "content" tab, make sure "allow custom addon content" is checked. Click apply and the game will restart with the new color scheme. Note: Using the bshift_addon directory ensures that the file will not get deleted or overwritten after an update or verification. If using the previous version I uploaded, I recommend moving it into the bshift_addon\resource directory instead. If you wish to use this for regular Half-Life or other mods, create the addon folder for the mod and create a resource folder in there and put the TrackerScheme.res file in there. (for Half-Life, use the valve_addon folder, for Opposing Force, use gearbox_addon folder, etc. Create them if they do not exist already).
