Considering the sheer amount of things that were removed with the later SteamPipe revisions of the game, and the immense amount of mods for both the legacy and Steam versions, I personally feel it's a case where that both versions need their own dedicated article to cover them all.
Talk:Half-Life
Someone made a Half-Life (SteamPipe) page recently, apparently. Not linked to anything, but it exists.
Agreed, especially when the third edition of the game came out. page looks like junkyard right now w all of the fixes combined
Why dont leave the page as it is and mak another page named something like: Hl: 25th Anniversary Ed Page? So you wont spam the page w legacy (or even retail, oh god) fixes and have only "anniversary" ones. Like the Sonic DX which has 3 pages
In Software, it looks correct -

In OpenGL it looks like this, misaligned, which I am pretty sure didnt happen on pre Steam days -
They don't look misaligned to me? Only difference is bilinear filtering, which you can disable with gl_spriteblend 0

It requires modding. There is a (hard to read) tutorial on GameBanana; I'll try to see if I can't make a 2x and/or 4x resize of the vanilla HUD.
Update: Well, I resized the crosshairs by 2x, but the rest sounds like it'd be a lot harder. Here are some resources of note: https://twhl.info/thread/view/14850?page=last https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/363103/how-can-i-make-the-ui-bigger-in-half-life-1
Someone posted about this on the guides section of HL1's Steam Community section, including some modded files. Worth checking out. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2265943705
Menu font sizes don't really look good unless the boxes themselves are also edited. This needs a proper mod made - is it really something we need a cleanup tag for?
Possibly not. It's an old tag, from when I was less familiar with the engine's limitations. How much you can actually do with reasonable results is minimal; really, it's better to just use Xash if you really want 4K.

The golden release, imo, for me would be build ~5941, whose searching I failed.
Fresh enough to support steampipe, old enough not to drop every legacy thing and the kitchen sink.
If only we could know which manifest existed before 1708995082918278930
Why do we have those notes here? Half-Life must be played via Steam, non-Steam means in essence pirated. It'd be like including save game location dirs with 'SKIDROW' in the path (which a lot of websites do...).
The original Retail version came out 5 years before Steam, thus there are versions that don't require Steam.
I'm well aware of that. However, every CD-key was redeemable on Steam later. There is absolutely no reason to use the non-Steam version, which is severely outdated, especially after the recent wave of fixes.
I've removed those sections now. Since all are redeemable on Steam, I see no reason not to use it.
There are no older topics
