Sharpened Detail Textures

Replaces the default Half-Life 2 detail textures with sharper versions with no performance impact.

I personally don't really like it. I think the contrast of the default detail textures is fine.

The map in the pictures is gm_functional_flatgrass_sfoh.

FAQ

Q: What are detail textures?

A: Detail textures are textures that blend in with a base texture to add fake detail to it. It uses less video memory than simply using a higher resolution texture. See VDC: $detail for more information.

Q: Will this affect my FPS?

A: Not at all. All it does is replace the detail textures with sharper versions. Their resolutions were not changed.

Q: Can I toggle it?

A: Due to engine limitations, there's no real seamless way to add a toggle. The best and only way to do it in-game is to enable/disable this addon in the addons menu and then type mat_reloadtextures or mat_reloadallmaterials into the console. You can also manually reload the changed textures individually using mat_reloadtexture.

Q: Can I adjust the amount of sharpening?

A: Since these are textures, no. The sharpening is baked in.

Q: Can you make 4K detail textures/upscale all textures/etc?

A: I had ideas of doing HD detail textures, detail texture extensions, and my own upscaled texture pack. Something like that would only happen if I'm up to it. If you want 4K detail textures, check out this addon.
