Now, Cinematic Mod 10.94, Valve model Alyx Finally, Cinematic Mod 10.94, Adriana Lima model Alyx Now, I prefer the original Alyx, but the quality and detail of the Adriana Lima model is obviously much better than either of the Valve style models. Too bad all the HD models have goofy looking clothes.

History:
CM 10 FINAL
Reworked the facial expressions on HD Gman
Fixed eyes movement on HD Gman
Tweaked some nature textures
Some small map improvements
Fixed wrong ai node file in ep2
Added one missing EP2 map, that was giving AI errors in previous versions
Added macro scaled overlays to most nature textures. This prevents Tiling-effects and gives more visual diversion on large areas with same ground texture (beach, forest ...)
Recompiled ALL HD civilian with Collision-Joints. This prevents unnatural bending after becoming ragdoll.
Added V60 Lima HD Alyx
Increased the ragdoll lifetime
Updated to Source Engine 14 Build 3943

Performance-Fixes for some HL2 Open-Area maps
Brightened up the flashlight
CM 10 Beta 1 (First puplic beta)
MAJOR rework of all human models and maincharacters

Moderate rework of some keyplaces like Kleiner's lab, Black Mesa East, EP2-silo ecetera

First implementation of a fully dynamic soundtrack framework (experimental)
Killed some background music (Less is more)
Tweaked the new running effect (reloading and shooting possible while running)
Several bugfixes
Launchers are using the heapsize command by default, because the current amount of texture/sound/mech data would break the heapspace limit
CM 9.7 (non-public)
Engineupdate to Build 3740
Added new ConVar 'ff_new_running' for toggling the new run-effect
CM 9.6 (non-public)

Sound drops or crackling:
If sound crackles occures, you can fix this by setting the snd_mixahead value in the autoexec's of CM's subdirectories. You will find the autoexec.cfg in the FAKEFACTORY_CM9hl2cfg FAKEFACTORY_CM9episodiccfg FAKEFACTORY_CM9ep2cfg directories. Try different value like snd_mixahead '0.2' or snd_mixahead '0.4' for increasing the buffered time of soundsamples. This will fix crackling or dropouts, but can lead to slightly asynchronous or delayed sounds.
Microstutter and Heapsize:
If you encounter microstuttering ingame (animations), try the heapsize command. Add -heapsize {bytes} to the shortcuts, i.e.: Shortcut: Cinematic Mod EP2 Target: ....launcher.exe' -heapsize 512000. But NEVER set the heapsize above [YOUR INSTALLE RAM / 3] or 512MB
Setup.exe and virus warning:
Setup uses a tool called SetACL for setting write permissions to the mods screenshots / cfg / SAVE directories. Some antivirus software could warn about possible malware. This is a false positive.
