Wondering, if a enhanced graphics mod would apply for ESF 1.2.3 to get a better looking gameplay detail? Just curious ;)

Pretty sure there is a limit to the quality/complexity of game assets due to the nature of the HL engine. Noone makes any graphics with the intention of them looking crap - artists are limited by their skill and what the game would allow before it broke. The only way around this is to hack the sh*t out of the engine itself. Which the team did in creating ESF Final.

Sorry, but you're not about to make 1.2.3 look anything like Final just by patching assets like maps and models etc. I think add-ons like ECX and experimenting with customs assets are the best polish you've got unless you want to make the engine that would support something superior.

If you are talking ENB, then better not try it. VAC might ban your account for calling outside DLLs.

ENB also only works on DX from what i know and DX is not the best choice for HL

Wasn't talking about making it look like ESF Final..

But on top, idk what ENB is, so i dout I would even try it, cause its not worth my time trying to do it anyways.. I was just wondering, if its possible to do, thats all.. Wasnt saying, i was going to do it lol.

Thing is. We dont really know exactly what you mean with "enhanced graphics mod". That could be many things.

No, but you were implying it by wanting to make it look better. ESF:F is the next version, an upgrade. If 1.2.3 looked better, it would resemble ESF:F wouldn't it?
