I had to wait for the Orange Box vrad to compile with light. The EP1 version didn't emit light from texture-lights painted on func_detail brushes.
The monsters all run at a reasonable speed now. I also added a threat display before the kophyaegers and crab things jump at your face.

I didn't change the model animation speeds at all. In that video you posted the zombies looked like they were moving twice as fast as they should.
EDIT: Actually its hard to tell it could just be the video. Is it the brown jumping critters from the HL2 map that are bugging you the most?
For those finding the game a tad difficult try adding these lines to your skill.cfg file (located in the "heart of evil source/cfg" folder):
// Multiplier for damage inflicted by the player on NPCs
// (1) Easy (2) Medium (3) Hard
sk_dmg_inflict_scale1 2.25
sk_dmg_inflict_scale2 1.75...
The maps are fullbright because the HL1 light values didn't seem to translate well to Source (too dark). Also the lights.rad included with HL:S was missing a bunch of textures that HOE uses. Sitting through long vrad compiles for 40 maps... not fun.
Well the original suffered from friendly fire and poor pathfinding, which are both fixed in this version. Friendlies would shoot each other in the back and following NPCs would get stuck around corners. There's also a VGUI window for reading letters rather than dumping the text overtop the screen.
Were the zombies moving as fast as it looked like in this video? They should be the slowest critters in the game. The animation speed should match the HL1 version since the fps is hardcoded for each animation sequence.
The classic HL1 zombie/Vietnam apocalypse mod has been ported to Source!
It is a port not a remake, so the maps/models/textures are the same.
REQUIREMENTS:

For Christmas I got a DVD player and a copy of Pirates of the Caribbean. In one scene Captain Jack Sparrow grabs a red-hot poker and burns a donkey's butt with it. The donkey's scream is the same scream as the poison zombie in HL2.
