Description
WARNING: This collection has not been maintained and tested for a year. It, without a doubt, features some obsolete and outdated mods, and is missing a lot of great new mods. I will try to update the collection again soon.

This is a collection of mods that improve Black Mesa.
Unlike the other improvement collections this one actually features mods that are all up-to-date compatible with each other.

===========================================================================

PLEASE READ THIS DESCRIPTION TO KNOW HOW TO FULLY INSTALL ALL THE MODS.

Because of the horrific current state Black Mesa's workshop is in right now, unfortunately all mods will have to be installed manually to ensure that they'll actually work.
Subscribe to all items and make sure they are all done downloading.
After that, move all the .vpk files from '...\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\362890' to a folder called 'custom' in 'Steam\steamapps\common\Black Mesa\bms' (You have to probably create this folder yourself)
After doing so, unsubscribe from all items.

! Some mods have special installation instructions, see below !

1 - BMCE:
Go to Black Mesa Character Expansion's page and download the 'MAIN FILES' and 'MISC. FILES (BMCE HECU Soldiers)' files from there and put them in your custom folder.

2 - "World's Smallest Cup" Fix:
This mod has multiple vpks in the 1592122015 folder.
Pick the 'worldbigcup.vpk' file.

3 - May 2003 Calendar Edit:
This mod has multiple vpks in the 2809675378 folder.
Pick the '2003 periodic table.vpk' file and the 'Marked Calendar.vpk' file from the 'Calendar VPKs' folder.

4 - No More Papers + HECU Uniform Patches + Improved Viewmodel Blood + Improved Hands mod:
These mods are in .bin formats instead of .vpk.
You will have to rename the files to make them work correctly.
(No More Papers: 511560755)
(HECU Uniform Patches: 460864327)
(Improved Viewmodel Blood: 453382921)
(Improved Hands mod: 465589317)

5 - Enemy MP5 Muzzle Flash Fix:
This mod in the 2736457449 folder is not in vpk format, so instead the contents have to be put in a new folder in your custom folder.

6 - Viewmodel as Worldmodel for Satchel Charge:
This mod in the 2789821522 folder is included in a .rar file, unpack it and put the included vpk into your custom folder.

7 - Azure Sheep
This mod in the 2288016896 folder needs to be unpacked from the 7z file.
Put the 'asheep' folder and the 'asheep.bat' file in your Black Mesa directory. ('Steam\steamapps\common\Black Mesa')

Go into the asheep folder and open gameinfo.txt, find the 'game+mod bms/custom/*' line and remove it.

You can now launch the mod with the .bat file.

8 - Blue Shift:
Extract the 'bshift' folder and the 'bshift.bat' file from the 2424633574 folder to your Black Mesa directory. ('Steam\steamapps\common\Black Mesa')

You can now launch the mod with the .bat file.

---

The viewmodel blood feature has been disabled by default for quite a while now because it impacts performance, if you have a good enough pc and want to enable it, type 'cl_mdldetailfx_enable 1' in the console.

Type 'cl_ironsight_sticky 1' into the console to make the iron sights toggle instead of hold.
