ALPHA AR2 REMAKE

v1: 2017-02-13
    Initial Version
v2: 2017-07-13
    Fixed HL2DM Skins not properly playing animations in multiplayer, enlarged
    eyepiece on scope, added lowered weapon animations and holster animations.

Mesh and animations created by En_Carlson using Blender.
Textures, sounds and original reference model created by VALVe. 

This is a complete remake of the old grey AR2 seen in the very early Kleiner's
lab and Ravenholm screenshots from Raising the bar. The mesh was painstakingly
created in Blender from the kleiner's lab image by tracing lines from the
the features on the AR2 in the image to a 4:3 54 FOV camera aimed at the
picture. The animations were created from scratch, as no known videos or other
reference material of the original model's animations survives.

=========================
INSTALLATION AND CONTENTS
=========================
This pack contains versions of the model which replace the smg1 for HL2 and
HL2DM, a replacer for Missing Information's OICW model, and a v37 version of
the model to replace the newer AR2 model in the leak.

    To skin the SMG1 in HL2 copy the folder "alpha_ar2_for_HL2" (the whole
folder, not just its contents) into steamapps/common/Half-Life 2/hl2/custom/.
Do the same for HL2DM, but using the folder labeled for HL2DM instead and
putting it in Half-Life 2 Deathmatch/hl2mp/custom/ instead.

    To skin the OICW in Missing Information and the AR2 in the leak, just
copy the materials and models folders from the respective game's alpha ar2
folder to the folder containing the game's models and materials folders and
merge them. IMPORTANT: These two overwrite the original AR2 models and some
of the materials, so you may want to back them up first.

    This pack also contains the .smd, .qc, and blender source files for the
mesh and animations. You are free to use and modify them, but please give me
credit for making the original files.
