Beta-style M16 Rifle Animations (Left 4 Dead 1 Model)

Description
Current Mod Version: v1_0
Replaces: M16 Rifle

SOUNDS AND TEXTURES NOT INCLUDED -- I RECOMMEND USING THE FOLLOWING ADD-ONS:
Beta Firing Sounds
L4D1 Reloading Sounds (NOT BETA RELOAD SOUNDS)
Beta-style Textures
Alt. Beta-style Textures

The following mod replaces the default M16 with a port of the L4D1 M16 Assault Rifle, along with some imitations of the animations you see in early builds of Left 4 Dead. Includes a world model (default low quality L4D1 w_model) and support for TLS skins*.

This here is my own attempt at porting the M16 from the original game, all the assets you see here have been ported by yours truly following a similar idea to the Hunting Rifle which I ported before, these animations all exist in Left 4 Dead 1 still so I just did my best to port them across and stitched them together in the most seamless way possible, using the video posted above and using the original game as reference.

This took me three different attempts to make, two of them were pretty atrocious and I almost considered giving up on making this mod, this third attempt here however started shaping up nicely early into development so I stuck with it until I managed to finish it, what you see here is the final result of two failed attempts and a successful third one and I am more than happy and pleased with the final result, hopefully you think the same too.

While I was able to cram the entire beta reloading animation into a single sequence this came at a price, it had to be sped up to match timers in online games.

Because of this you can stop the reload as soon as your character is done slapping the gun, making the extra frames where your character grabs the gun back bonus frames, but I should note that all animations have the same timers as the vanilla M16 so this gun behaves the same whether you are the host or the client, this will not make you or people who join your server who don't have this mod reload slower or anything like that.

This mod also comes with fidget animations ported from the original game too!

If you wish to take any assets from this mod (animations, model) feel free to do so, you do not need to ask for permission, just credit me if you'd like to, don't if you don't want to.

Known Bugs:
  • * For some reason even though they show in Model Viewer, the world models do not show the skins added in The Last Stand update, the viewmodel however will display the skin correctly and I don't know why that is.

no wonder why l4d1 has it so you just replace magazines and not rack it or press the bolt catch because...
video games know nuthin bout guns

they made it so you press the bolt catch, then rack it after
what the hell

i just now realized this dude used the "draw for the first time" animation of the gun for the reload animation instead of the proper reload one, is why it looks weird, but knowing these type of people, they wont change or fix it.

:/ wasted potential.

Y'know what would really cool? These animations on the actual model for the m16 from the beta. I did find a mod for l4d1, that brought back the old m16 model from the beta days without the flashlight. I link to it is here- https://www.gamemaps.com/details/21709 you can check it out if you want to.

Hey I'm the guy who reuploaded the Beta-Style texture and I gotta say this. This mod is awesome!

I hope a new version of this will be made soon with slightly different animations. I like the idea of this but the bolt slap ruins it

Could a version with the l4d2 model be made?
