Biomech Major (Player Model)

This mod adds in the Major Bio-Mechanoid enemy as a playable character in multiplayer. This is a non-standard player model that uses custom animations and schemes.

So yeah, here's a thing. This is kind of an idea I caught wind of and figured I'd be able to pull off amazingly (this happens sometimes). I had also been wanting to try making a non-standard player model at some point. See, pretty much every single user-made player model for the game so far has used the default Sam animations along with his animation schemes; in general, nobody else has touched these. Any time a "non-standard" model comes up, they try to modify it so that it works with Sam's animations (See the "Worms" player models). This is my attempt at breaking that trend, as it uses the original Biomech's animations, as well as (a lot of) custom ones. Of course, it took a fair bit more time and effort to make, which I guess is the main reason why people don't do this ever.


Notes:
-The Biomech is notably wider than normal player models, so there are some doorways it can't fit through normally. However, I've made it so that Crouching will inexplicably make it thinner, so it *can* fit through such doorways while crouching. However, crouching will not make it shorter, so no super-shortcut secret for the Biomech. (You can always temporarily switch models)

-A number of weapons won't actually appear on the model; Kind of a lack of places to put them. Just assume the thing's rocket launchers are multi-functional. The weapons that will show up on the model are as follows: Sledgehammer, Pistol, Minigun, C4, Laser, Cannon.

-The walking animations are actually slower than you actually move, meaning the model's feet sort of slide when they're contacting the ground while moving. I could speed up the animation to fix this... however, that'd make the footstep sounds play at an uncomfortably fast rate. I'm probably not going to change this for that reason.

-If you're a client and your framerate is low enough, after meleeing a Gnaar, the eye won't appear in your hands, but you'll be on the hands "weapon". Note that the eye *is* there, just you never recieved the packet saying to draw the eye. You will have the eye on the host's end, and if you press fire, you'll still throw it (it'll just kinda appear out of nowhere on your end).

-If the host doesn't have the model, the added "death effect" won't appear (since the host controls that)
