Well, after unblocking the specimen and causing the resonance cascade, I was optimistic; and I though I had completely fixed the game's behavior. Boy, was I wrong. From a slow 1st crowbar hit, to broken scientist scripts, and inconsistent gib and gore configurations, resetting and reinstalling the game fixed little to nothing at all...
I'm not sure how I fixed the problem of the floating scientist that should have been eaten in the vents. I think you need to kill the Houndeyes before they do damage to the scientists; otherwise the script breaks.
As for the aliens having no blood or gibs by default, just enter this in your console:
violence_ablood 1
violence_abigs 1
This problem may happen if you ran Half-Life 2 or more years ago, and have your old configs either saved to disk or on the Steam Cloud. There was a recent update that added those 2 new configs, and they apparently are only set to 1 if you install Half-Life from scratch; if you have any old configs around they will default to 0.
To turn off texture filtering so you can see them pixels on the walls, enter this in the console:
gl_texturemode "GL_NEAREST_MIPMAP_LINEAR"
Half-Life on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/70/HalfLife
