special FX sprite upgrade:

this is a compilation of sprites i've been working on for some time. i've put a lot of time and effort into this, and i hope you enjoy it. the following legend will refer to the numbered screenshot (included) of each sprite, and give you the filename along with a short description. using this, you can choose which individual sprites you would like to install, as opposed to merely [unzipping this into your x:\program files\valve\steam\steamapps\your@email.com\half-life\ns\sprites directory], which would also work. if there is an alternate (i.e. recolor) available, the legend will refer you to the file of the same name packaged in the alternates.zip (included).

NOTE: unzipping this into your ns\sprites directory will install these correctly. you dont need to use this legend for anything other than manually installing individual sprites or any of the alternates.
