Fixed Defib Shadows

This is a pointless fix but now that you've seen it you'll never unsee it.

The defibrillator has baked in Ambient Occlusion in the texture, which is the norm for Source engine textures since Source doesn't have proper AO support. However, for the defib, Valve used one texture for both the worldmodel and viewmodel, overlooking that the paddles have AO in the texture, making it look bad while holding it in certain areas.

This is the original texture with the AO on the paddle removed. Unfortunately the texture used in-game now is slightly different from the original PSD file, and is a darker orange overall. This was unavoidable without massive downgrades in quality thanks to DXT5 texture compression.

hexx: All the actual work
Me: Posting it lmao
