Merchants will have a sprite above their head to make them easy to see. The model for them will be changeable like other npcs.
Will probably make another entity that works the same way as an npc merchant but can be a prop like a vending machine.
Hyper tells me the Vortigaunt is changing to be more like the episode 2 vort. Not sure how it works but he tells me its cooler.
I'm sure I will add more hl1 npcs over time. Porting them over isn't the easiest task. Getting them to work well in HL2 is even harder.
Now changes, additions and fixes for npcs will happen over time.
If anyone makes new gibs for other npcs we would be happy to look them over and maybe include them in the mod.
Right now I have no time to map, coding takes up 90% of my time. I have many ideas, many unfinished maps, etc. No time to execute.
What we need is an experienced modeler to get a shit load of tasks done. Im the only one doing it at this point.
I'm not complaining though. I wouldnt mod if I didnt like doing it. Things would just get finished sooner.
