So now that its possible to install some mods to our shields, Im just wondering if we can start a new thread posting modpacks compatible with the shield. Im making this so people can find mods easier and know that they work without having to do a lot of trial and error.

Heres my custom pack with a couple random mods i found to start off with. If this is in the wrong forum, then its okay to delete this thread, i just wasnt sure where else to put this because HL2 for android and Pc work differently and im not sure where else to put it because not alot of people have a nvidia shield.

Edit: So here the link to the mods list, which public editing is allowed so any more mods people find that work, you can add it to the list. Be sure to include the link to the mod and what kind of mod it is.

I think this is a great idea! Let's hope that some people who tried out mods, will contribute. You could add an openly accessible Google Doc file (i think that's possible), so in order to create a compatibility list that everyone can add to.

I was thinking the same thing, should i make a list seperating half life 2 and its episodes? Or just keep it all in one list?

I'd say, separate it by Half Life, its episodes and Portal. Nobody has cleared yet, whether or not there are any differences in the engines that run each of those games (except for the obvious difference with Portal), but i saw that some Half Life 2 mods require Episode 1 and 2. So there might be a difference. Or it's just using it's resources, i'm still not sure. As soon as i'm done playing through all the original games (just finished Half Life 1, which i wanted to do before getting back to part 2), i'm definitely going to try out some mods myself. It's going to take a while yet though^^.

I havent been able to test anything because i was in georgia and then i had to move as soon as i got back, but just follow the tutorial in the other thread and you should be good to go.

I just ran into a problem , the gun texture is named different then the android one.. I'm confused , does this mean this one doesn't work?
The only thing that has to be the same is the actual model in the models folder. The textures can be their own name because thats what the model looks for
