Description:

This is a sourcemod plugin that adds visible legs in first-person. Inspired by L4D and CS2’s FP legs. While it’s not a perfect implementation, it should work for entirety of Black Mesa campaign and custom maps.
Various features were implemented to fit Black Mesa campaign and ensure visual immersion for player.

• First-Person legs – Legs. Fully animated states: idle, walking, running, croaching, jumping, floating etc.
• Lab coat(suitless ver.) – Before Gordon takes his HEV suit it will show his lab coat model for legs.
• Dynamic shadows – Legs cast dynamic shadows (WIP, currently it doesn’t show equipped weapons).
• Blood stains/acid on legs – Once player takes damage or inflicts damage to others in close proximity there’s a chance to cover your legs with blood textures: human, alien blood, bullsquid/gonarch acid, toxic wastes.
• High compatibility – Play the entire Black Mesa campaign with almost no issues. There was a lot of issues during the development which were fixed such as lagging legs, incorrect spawn position, save loading/level transition bugs etc. Please read the known issues/solutions section if you do encounter the bugs.
• FOV Adjustment(Disabled by default) – An option to adjust your viewmodel fov when you look at the ground.
• Bloody footprints(WIP, Disabled) – Proof of concept feature of player leaving bloody footprints after stepping on blood pools. Requires [SM]Restored 2012 Ragdolls & Gibs addon.
• Console variables – Control various aspects and options via console vars.

-This addon is not compatible with addons that change singleplayer playermodel.
-If you have problems with incorrect legs postion or angles you need to either crouch/stand or save/reload save to fix it.
-You may notice permanent acid textures on your legs after gonarch battle. Only restarting the game and reloading save will fix this issue.
-Currently there’s no HEV Suit hands admire animations. Will be fixed in next updates.
-Dynamic shadow casts are currently WIP. It’s always in unnarmed mode and have no equipped weapons.
-Ducking repeatedly/quickly may apply incorrect positions which will be fixed in next updates.
-Crowbar model repeatedly spawns around legs model during Nihilanth death scene whchi will be fixed in next updates.
-It’s really tricky to make sourcemod to work in a total conversion mods such as Blue Shift, Azure Sheep which use separate game folder (not "bms"). I’ll post the guide on how to do that after testing it out.
