Juniez BMS Shotgun (Spas)

This is the shotgun from Juniez's Classic Weapons Pack for Black Mesa ported to Left 4 Dead 2 for the Spas, using the shotgun sounds from Kris's MBWS ACT II because I like those sounds.

The mod is final; as-it-is (unless you find a bug that full-on breaks the weapon). I'm too busy to keep working on it. Unless I forgot to include something in the addon that results in the mod being broken, please don't ask me to add, fix, or change anything.

== Important Note: This mod is a bit flawed in some ways, read the 3 notes below ==

- I messed up fixing the survivor arms onto the viewmodel. The left wrist isn't exactly correct, the fingers clip into the shells and shotgun itself during some frames while reloading (it is quite fast though so it's not super noticeable), and the right arm is very bad (but as long as you don't use an abnormally large viewmodel fov, it's completely unnoticeable; exactly like the pictures). It would take me way too long to fix it in the only way that I know how to do it and again, like all my other mods, I've used too much time making this. I have to move on, so I'm not going to be fixing anything.

- Because Black Mesa doesn't have shoving, I had to animate one for Left 4 Dead 2. I am NOT an animator, so it's not pretty. Imo, it's not HORRIBLE either, but yeah. There's nothing I can do about that (other than just not having a shove anim, but I think that's a worse option. Just as bad as making shove an inspect animation [I see you, various knife mods]).

- Because Black Mesa also doesn't have walking animations since walking effects are handled by the game and not the viewmodel, I also had to animate that. I took the easiest possible route (again, without just straight up not having walking anims at all) and just implemented HL1 style bobbing, which is just having the viewmodel bob forward and backwards. Not super realistic, but that's all I can do.

====

With all that being said, here is the full list of...

== Features ==

- All animations are present
- Aside from the shove & walking anims, mod contains the original Black Mesa anims
- The reload start anim DOES visually load a shell during its animation, since that's how Left 4 Dead 2 programmed their shotguns. No magically loading the 1st shell
- World model included
- Firing, Reloading, & Deploy sounds are replaced w/ Kris's Black Mesa Weapon Sounds mod mentioned earlier
- The mod SHOULD work online. I made sure the anims have the correct frames to fps ratio (and the sequences are in the correct order I think)

== Absent Features (that will be forever) ==

- HUD images. That's really it as far as I know

Like all my mods, you are free to take it and make your own edits and reupload it. All I ask is that you credit everyone that created the Classic Weapons mod and me for porting it (should you use this exact mod).
