Overview
Most effective biggest HL1 player model pack available to download
Information
Ello, this is the largest playermodel collection of rarest, most recent, and old models. Literally, I’ve been working this model pack since October 2019, but become less adding models for my model until last of February.
I was inspired by Sven Co-op playermodels to make it (although already actually there’s some model packs exist for HL1 but they’re missing alot of models (most effect was one model pack of 1700+ models all without portrait images available in some Russian modding website) or obsolete). Since then, I has been digging and found some websites (such as two index websites). I also manage several model packs into file while deleting most duplicate files/models (mostly without some skinning differences). I kept some portraits in their original higher than 256×256 resolution for preservation purposes while copied and cropping down to below 256 x 256 (mostly cropped down to 164×200) for ingame to prevent crashes.
Beware, that tons of models in this pack are literally reskins of already pre-existing models (such as EvilB’s punisher, anarki or any Quake-sorta character (with was extremely popular at the time when HL1 was originally released), and infamous nympho). Some may look decent anyway, some may little to no differences but does have some clan-related text on back or front side.
Where to download?
You can download this “Nekosicle’s Infinity Pack” model pack at my google drive.

Warned u, there’s kinda some NSFW models in this pack.
You must to be patient because of file’s size of 1.01 GB (including of over 4,184 models). So, it may take a while.
The model will updated every 1-3 months (but sometimes either shorter or longer).
Where I put these files?
Put them into “SteamsteamappscommonHalf-Lifevalvemodelsplayer” directory. It is also works for Opposing Force or almost any HL1 mod.
NOTE: Please do not put in Sven Co-op 4.0 tho any current versions files which resulted having broken animations instead of showing current animation. This is because these versions don’t support the sequences aim_1, shoot_1, aim_2, and shoot_2 (which were left unused in final HL1 game to begin with). This is really intended MEANT for HL1 and almost any mod. However, it would be interesting to see some of models from this pack to be decompiled and compiled for use in Sven Co-op 5.0. But, some creators might obviously not want theirs to be compiled for 5.0.
Same goes with The Specialists or any game uses Goldsrc engine whose has different animation sequences service.
Might be best if you don’t replace anything when it asks if you want to do so.

Does I see models without Orange HEV suits?
Yes, you would can see almost all models ingame, but you will still get some default placeholder HEV suit models since is it not most complete pack of player model. Anyway, it is a still worth it.
Got Questions?
If you have questions or were in position of any rare or newest model sitting rotten in your files or very old hard drive? Or an original release portrait image or readme txt file? Content me a PM at Discord: Nekosicle#9320 (do not add me as friend in either perform) or comments section.
