New HL2 update, what version does it use?

[Aggresive_Napkin]

I have been skinning games for a while now, and did not have any problems, besides the occasional Purple checkers and left hand switch for guns, (it's only for Source engines)

However, a new problem strikes me, and it's the NEW update to the HL2 engines or game, which ever you want to call it.
I wanted to replace the old combine models with a new camouflaged ones, and the compile/ .rar file i downloaded gives me 2 options, HL2 or HL2 EP2
To those who did not know, HL2 EP:2 has a slightly different way of installing, but that's a different story.

Long story, short. because of the new updates for HL2 original, and the features that could've ONLY be found on the EP2 engine, i need to decide or help me decide what the NEW Hl2 engine is closer to. The Original or EP2?

or does it matter for installing skins?

it depends on which game you are skinning, if your skinning ep2 then get files for skinning ep2.

Though I'd have to say that all of the HL2 titles will be as close to the ep2 engine as possible, because that is the most recent/up-to-date engine that they have. (beyond the AI director of l4d but thats a different story)
