(READ DESC) Episodic Animation Fix for Classic, Fast & Poison Headcrabs

Description
NOTE: As of October 22nd 2024, this addon is no longer needed if you're playing on the "dev" or "x86-64" branch, and it shouldn't be needed at all after October 29th 2024. This is because the Gmod October 2024 Update now fixes the animations, making this mod useless. I'm only keeping it for archive purposes

This mod simply fixes the episodic animations for all the 3 headcrabs, as simple as that! Works for Episode 1 chapters and for any map that has the ceiling headcrabs on them.

I love headcrabs, and i love Episode One, so it was really weird for me when i saw the ceiling headcrabs hanging without any animations. So i decided to extract the mdl files from episode one and port them to Gmod

Now, you might be wondering "what if i wanna spawn the ceiling headcrabs myself?" well... here you have a mod that spawns them without any problem! just be careful because their AI is different from the episodes, and i can't really fix that since i didn't make that mod, alltough i think their behaivior is like that in Gmod by default

Btw, no, this doesn't conflict with any addon (except that it has the .mdl files of the headcrabs, ofc), it's even compatible with reskins! i already tested it myself

Extra note: Lamarr is obviously not included in here, but the reason of why she's fixed in the Kleiner scene, is because that animation is on the "headcrabclassic.mdl" file, and not in the "lamarr.mdl" file

BUGS!
  • While playing on the map "ep1_c17_00" (Aka. the start of Lowlife) on the ceiling classic headcrabs part, if you click on the admin "Cleanup Everything", the animations might bug and the headcrabs would be on the floor but with the ceiling idle animation
    (I figured out that's a gmod thingy, so i can't really fix it)
  • As the 4th (or 5th) screenshot says, the detaching, falling and landing animations might not appear, this might be a Gmod problem, so i don't really know how to fix this. They personally work just fine with me
  • Certain maps might break the ceiling headrab's behaivior, if they're spawned from a very far distance from any npc or player, they won't drop down (Thankfully, ep 1 maps aren't the case)

If you find any other bugs, tell me so i can work on them, ty! (And obviously, any help on fixing them is heavily appreciated)
