What is Hitbox Fixer?

Hitbox Fixer is a Metamod plugin by @Garey27 that corrects server-side player hitboxes in Counter-Strike 1.6, Half-Life and Adrenaline Gamer. On an unpatched server the boxes the engine tests shots against can sit away from where the player model actually is, so hits register as misses (and the reverse).

note

This is a third-party project. It lives outside the ReHLDS organization and is not maintained by it — report problems to its own issue tracker.

What it fixes​

  • Hitboxes that are outright broken when numblends == 1 — this covers the ducking and standing animations while reloading a weapon or planting the C4.
  • Hitbox backtracking based on the client-side position, so the server tests against where the shooter actually saw the target.
  • Wrong hitbox position on spawn, which falls out of the corrected backtracking.

The author lists full setupbones support for non-player entities as still outstanding, so the fixes above apply to players.

Requirements​

One of:

  • ReHLDS version 3.10 or above — recommended.
  • Stock HLDS build 8648.

Plus Metamod (Metamod-R recommended) to load the plugin.

Supported mods​

Counter-Strike 1.6, Half-Life and Adrenaline Gamer. The author accepts requests for other mods through the issue tracker.

See Installation to set it up and Settings for the single cvar it adds.
