This is a sub-page of Half-Life 2: Episode Two/Unused Textures.

Be warned as some of the tables do expand quite a bit, there's quite a bit of unused textures.

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Locate and upload the rest of the unused "height" textures.
