Combine OICW for AR2

I found a really cool OICW model online, but it needed some fixing up. Now the low-light scope works! Then I thought, wouldn't it be neat if the scope looked Combine-made, and the rest looked old and worn? Now for the AR2.

Or you can replace the SMG, if you prefer.

Also available: Green lenses or red lenses.


New scope:
- Fixed lens refraction issues: Much clearer visibility, and now aimed at the crosshair!
- Changed lens tint from green to cyan
- Changed scope to be made of Combine alloy instead of steel
- Added Combine and Sector17 logos
- Replaced all text with Combine font, and added more
- Changed screws into bolts (the Combine don't use screws AFAIK)
Overall improvements:
- Changed material properties to look like HL2's art style (far less envmap; sane phong values)
- Added weathering/patina layer to all steel surfaces (ie., not the Combine alloy scope)
- Added AO (ambient occlusion) layer to enhance shading!
- Added dim red/cyan glows to finger-guard buttons (go somewhere dark and look up!)
- Darkened 20mm magazine and brightened 5.56 magazine, and altered their color
- Added a text block of legalese on one side
Technical upgrades:
- Reduced textures to 2048x2048 to keep the download small :)
- Fixed normal maps, and updated the scope's normal map with Combine alloy / logos
- Added mip-maps for improved visuals
- Hid the "dbal" (laser pointer?) and got rid of its textures since it's literally impossible to see it
- Reduced volume of sounds a little (-5 dB)
