To do: There are revisional differences on this game which involves graphical update between the original release and the 2010 update. Document weapon_sniperrifle, weapon_flaregun, weapon_irifle, MP3 Player (Disabled features that can be found in SDK) generally sort this into sub-pages find out if we can add images of the models from the 2016 repo leak if we can add them we should (if they are not from prototypes documented already) There is a script file for the Physics Gun, a cut weapon.

Half-Life 2 is a game where the right crowbar in the wrong hand will make all the difference in the world.

Unused Sounds and Dialogue Galunga?

Unused Textures LOTS of unused textures, varying from snowy environments to Xbox 360 leftovers.

Unused Models The wrong men in the right place.

Debugging Features

Debug Menu

The debug menu can be activated by pressing [Shift+F1], and displays a collection of multiple shortcuts to console commands. You still need sv_cheats 1 for many of these shortcuts to function correctly. The window can be closed by pressing [Shift+F1] again. Closing the window by clicking on the "X" will not disable the overlay, just hide the window.

The debug menu loads its interface from the script file "debugoptions.txt." The file uses the following format:

DebugMenu
{
	"width"	"512"
	"height" "300"

	"<tab>" // a tab on the debug panel
	{
		"<command>" // adds a button that executes a command when clicked
		{
			"command" "<command>" // console command to execute
		}
		"<toggle>" // checkbox that toggles a cvar between 1 and 0
		{
			"togglecvar" "<cvar>" // cvar to toggle
		}
		"<increment>" // button that cycles through options for a cvar
		{
			"incrementcvar" "<cvar> 0 5 10 15" // cvar, followed by the numbers to cycle through
		}
	}
}

The menu also exists in practically all games that use the "Source 1" engine.

Unused Weapons

A number of non-player weapons have varying levels of implementation for player usage.

Alyx's Gun

The gun used by Alyx (weapon_alyxgun). Can only be obtained by typing give weapon_alyxgun in the console (it must be picked up manually after closing the console, as it spawns on the ground). The viewmodel is glitched due to it using the worldmodel instead, and will block the player's vision frequently. The gun has semi-auto and full-auto modes which can be swapped with "secondary attack" button. Both modes do the same amount of damage (about as much damage as the retail pistol), but neither mode has any recoil, and both modes are about as accurate as the pistol. As noted below, there was also evidently a rifle mode planned at some point.

Picking up the gun will have it show up in 5th pistol category slot for unknown reasons. It has one full clip loaded and none in reserve, and the only known way to get more ammo would be to use the givecurrentammo command, which will max out your ammo to 150 (180 including the loaded clip). This can be increased by using the command sk_max_alyxgun #, # being the amount of ammo you want.

Annabelle

Father Grigori's rifle (weapon_annabelle). Can only be obtained by typing give weapon_annebelle in the console. It has a two-bullet tube magazine and shares ammo with the revolver. The viewmodel is identical to the retail shotgun. It does the same amount of damage as the revolver, but will only reload a single bullet when emptied. Upon reloading manually, console errors reference an incorrect call to the retail shotgun reload, and the weapon is reloaded instantly at full capacity. Despite sounding and looking like a shotgun, it fires a single bullet like the revolver, and has zero recoil.

It occupies the same slot as the AR2, and if you press 3 to select the AR2, you'll pull out the Annabelle instead. This is the only way to reequip it apart from pressing the "last weapon used" key...if it was your last used weapon.

Food Package

The food package (weapon_citizenpackage). Can only be obtained by typing give weapon_citizenpackage in the console. It has no proper viewmodel, instead using its worldmodel, though it lines up decently with how other weapons are held by the player. Comments in the weapon's coding reveal that it's a weapon because NPCs are able to carry weapons, but can not pick up or wield normal objects, so any objects the devs wanted citizens to hold needed to be coded as a "weapon".

   // Citizen package. Not really a weapon, just needs to be a visible model for citizens to open.

Two things of note are that its pickup icon reuses the shotgun's, and that it occupies the same slot as the SMG, but it doesn't have its own selectable slot, meaning that like Annabelle, you can only reequip it if you press the "last weapon used" key or press 3 on the keyboard and then fire.

Suitcase

A suitcase (weapon_citizensuitcase). Can only be obtained by typing give weapon_citizensuitcase in the console. It has no proper viewmodel, instead using its worldmodel which blocks most of the player's vision, as it's placed almost directly in front of Gordon's face. Like the food package, it was coded as a weapon to allow citizens to carry it around, even going as far to have the exact same comment as the food package in its coding. Also like the food package, it's in the same "slot" as the SMG, but doesn't actually show up in your weapons, and can only be reequiped using the same methods as the food package (pressing 3 will not work if you already have the package).

Interestingly, it seems to use the MP5K icon from the prototype as its pickup icon.

Stunstick

The Stunstick from the Half-Life 2 prototype kept its viewmodel, along with the early suit color. However, there is no way to wield it in the retail, as picking one up gives armor instead. Valve updated and completed this weapon for Half-Life 2: Deathmatch.

To remove the armor pickup: open src/hl2/hl2_player.cpp in the Source SDK and comment or remove the following section:

#ifndef HL2MP	
	if ( pWeapon->ClassMatches( "weapon_stunstick" ) )
	{
		if ( ApplyBattery( 0.5 ) )
			UTIL_Remove( pWeapon );
		return false;
	}
#endif

Unused Items

Sniper Rounds

The sniper ammo (item_box_sniper_rounds) from the prototype was kept in the final game. It can be spawned using ent_create item_box_sniper_rounds and picked up, but no weapon in the game uses this type of ammo. It also has no physics, but will still produce bullet holes if shot at. The original box texture has been replaced with a pink texture saying "OBSOL33T" (obsolete in "leet speak") in cyan letters. Why it wasn't just removed outright is unknown.

Flare Rounds

Flare rounds (item_box_flare_rounds and item_flare_round) still exist in the final game and can be spawned with ent_create item_box_flare_rounds/item_flare_round, but cannot be picked up due to the ammo coding having been removed. However, the console will give constant errors stating that it's attempting to give the player an unknown "FlareRound" ammo type as long as they player stands over them. Like the sniper rounds, neither of these have physics but will produce bullet holes if shot at.

Unused Animations

This page or section needs more images. There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this. Specifically: Get animations of these things in action if possible.

Weapon Animations

Alyx's gun has unused animations that show it transforming into a SMG and a rifle. However, no idle animation for these modes exist. In addition, Alyx herself has animations for changing the pistol into an SMG, and the SMG to a rifle, but not back to the pistol or directly to rifle mode.

Used	Unused
Pistol variation.	Rifle variation. SMG variation.

Firing Animations

• The Combine soldiers possess an unused firing animation for the HMG1 as well as animations for placing and rolling grenades.
• The poison headcrab has an unused animation, depicting it spitting something from its mouth, most likely poison. There is no data about the fired projectile or its effect on the player however.

Struggling Animations

• Vortigaunts have unused animations for being grabbed by Barnacles, reminiscent of the behaviour of human NPCs in Half-Life. However, these go unused, as they are instantly killed and turned into a ragdoll upon being strangled by one, like all other NPCs. In addition, game files mark such events as "legacy content".

• 

• Metrocops also have an unused animation for being grabbed by barnacles.

• 

Leftover Citizen Animations

Due to how animation files are shared between models, key NPCs like Breen and Alyx have access to all of the regular animations despite only using a few.

• 

  Breen reloading a pistol, despite not normally being shown to do so in the retail game.

• 

  Father Grigori healing. By default, only Medics can do this. In addition, he also has lines for giving healthkits and ammo.

• 

  Alyx holding an SMG. She normally only uses her own pistol and a shotgun in Episode One.

Unused Model Features

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Look at other weapons/models in the Model Viewer and see if they have unused/unseen features or elements.

SMG Magazine Bone

The model for the SMG contains a magazine bone (ValveBiped.clip) that, as expected, moves the magazine. Despite this, the magazine is never animated during the reload animation in-game, with Gordon instead just smacking the bottom of the clip. Based on the fact this section of the model has been weight painted, it's likely this was meant to be animated at some point, likely being scrapped since you never see that far down when reloading anyway.

"Drivable" APC

At one point, APCs were intended to be controllable by the player, but playtesters ultimately felt it was too slow compared to the buggy, and this function was cut. But there are remnants of this left in the game, as it's actually possible to enter an APC pretty early in the game.

In d1_trainstation_03 (the level where Gordon meets Alyx for the first time), two APCs can be seen driving around on the street, eventually veering off into an alley (there's another APC near the opposite end of the map that can't be interacted with). Using god mode, the player can jump down to the APCs and enter them like any normal vehicle...but the camera will be completely screwed up and the player can neither drive nor exit the vehicle, requiring them to reload a save to get out. The APCs can not be entered before they stop moving, likely due to the quirk of Source requiring a separate NPC (npc_apcdriver) to actually make them move and shoot, so when the APCs are in the alley, this effectively means the NPC has exited the vehicle.

Also of note is that the controls for the buggy will show up upon entering it.

Alternate Intro

E3 2004 (intro.bsp)	Final (d1_trainstation_01.bsp)

Loading the map intro.bsp via the console will bring you to a slightly different version of the game's intro. The main differences between the two intros is that there is no title card at the beginning, missing textures around the Spectrometer suggest that they were replaced and removed during development, and a view of the railway which was seen during E3 2004 as opposed to the prison near the end of the game. G-Man is also slightly off center during his final line.

intro.bsp doesn't end due to the respective level change trigger not existing. This ultimately suggests that the intro was originally going to be its own separate map rather than being a part of d1_trainstation_01. This was probably removed to avoid creating another loading screen between the intro and gameplay. A similar approach was attempted and scrapped during Episode One and Two's developments.

Due to hardware limitations, the original Xbox release does use intro.bsp, but it plays the final version's d1_trainstation_01.bsp.

Curiously, some "test" sounds exist inside this soundscript file. Only the music file (hl2_song1.mp3, Particle Ghost in the soundtrack) is present and can be used, since the sines aren't included in the sound files, but they do exist in the prototype.

Platform Differences

• In PC releases, you can use ladders by just walking into them. The orignal Xbox version requires pressing a button however, since it uses a different brush entity ("func_ladder") due to hardware limitations.
• In d2_prison_08, when you fight combines with Alyx, the power will eventually be cut off in most versions. This doesn't happen on the original Xbox version.

Xbox	PC/Mac/Linux/Xbox 360/PS3/Android

• Some Lambda Locator areas are missing in the original Xbox version.
• Some items such as weapons and ammo crates are highlighted on the original Xbox version.

Revisional Differences
