Romka's HECU Masked Marines Fix

It fixes the HECU Masked Marine models so it won't appear using the default model if a different character_manifest.txt is used.

The script added in the Romka HECU vpk is outdated and kind of a "mess".
The default script actually works, but the masked HECU marines uses the default model:

masked_marine.mdl.

This fix uses my modded updated character_manifest.txt from 1.5 stuff, mixed with HC's characters.
Models, hecu.mdl, hecu_02.mdl, marine_sg.mdl, marine_02_sg.mdl were decompiled and renamed to
masked_marine.mdl, masked_marine_02.mdl, masked_marine_sg.mdl, masked_marine_02_sg.mdl
The .phy file was copied and renamed since I don't trust Crowbar compile's recompiled .phy file.

The other models actually work okay, but the .mdl named hecu.mdl would be completely useless.

For those who simply wanted an updated script, go to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\362890\2379194563
You will find a folder named "Modifed Updated Version Script." Put it in the custom folder.
However, it may have some updated elements since I only copy and pasted the HECU characters from that old script.
So I recommend the default modified script that still works.

I also added a version of the Zombie grunt in which the texture now uses V3 texture instead of V2 texture.

Since i'm improving my skills on using GoldSrc to edit models, I decided to finally make the Zombie Grunt torso for the Default and Classic Headcrab. It may have some missing faces and needs some cleanup but still works in the game and the one I'm confident that the model is perfect to my eyes.


KNOWN ISSUES:
- Sometimes, if you load a map where it reads the default marine ragdoll before you put this addon into the game, the placed ragdoll corpse of these masked HECU would appear messed up. There's nothing that I can do about it. Restart it, and it would show the correct ragdoll.
