(READ DESC) Accurate HUD Weapon Naming

Description
WARNING: SIMPLY SUSCRIBING TO THIS MOD WON'T MAKE IT WORK, YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY INSTALL IT YOURSELF, READ DOWN BELOW TO SEE HOW TO INSTALL THIS MOD AND
MAKING IT WORK
Also, this mod is not mine, it's a port from Gamebanana[gamebanana.com], i just posted it on the workshop and added support for Lost Coast and Ep2, The original mod is made by blueebirduu[gamebanana.com], he gave me permission to upload it here.

Heyo there! Have you ever wanted the HUD weapon names to be more accurate? like instead of "Pistol" it tells you the actual weapon's name? Don't worry, this mod is for you!

This mod aims to make the weapon selector HUD (which is above) display the weapons' real name along with the ammo caliber and type, inspired from Raising the Bar: Redux.

FULL WEAPON NAME LIST (with ammo type):
  • CROWBAR
  • ZERO-POINT GRAVITY MANIPULATOR (Gravity Gun)
  • H&K USP MATCH (Pistol | 919mm)
  • COLT PYTHON (Revolver | .357 Magnum)
  • H&K MP7 (Submachine Gun | 4.630mm)
  • OVERWATCH PULSE RIFLE (Pulse-Rifle | Energy Cells)
  • SPAS-12 (Shotgun | .12g Buckshot)
  • BATTERY-POWERED CROSSBOW (Crossbow | Rebar)
  • MK3A2 (Grenades)
  • SAAB BOFORS DYNAMICS AT4 (RPG | Rockets)
  • PHEROPOD (Bugbait | Pheropods)

INSTALLATION METHOD:
  1. Make sure to make a copy of thse files: "hl2_english.txt", "episodic_english.txt", "ep2_english.txt", "lostcoast_english.txt"
  2. Go to this drive link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1MGx-Hu2YQ-6jUBXvJWJmAdCNGTqXetFW?usp=sharing
  3. Download any of (or all) the 4 folders in there (hl2 is for Half-Life 2, episodic is for Episode One, ep2 is for Episode Two, lostcoast is for Lost Coast)
  4. Extract the zip file
  5. Copy the folder(s) that got extracted and go to your folder where Half-Life 2 is installed (By default it should be C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life 2)
  6. Paste the folders and click yes to overwrite anything

Then just open the game and the mod should work perfectly!

you should rename the spas 12 to the 'reality breaking spas 12' since how the fuck gordon freeman shoot a buckshot round through the magazine tube

It's not working for me, it just replaces the weapon icons and crosshair with random letters

"You can call it the 'Zero Point Energy Field Manipulator' if you really want to."
