- Remade admin tie textures and made their materials consistent with those of office worker and scientist ties
- Remade workers boots of maintenance-, custodian-, engineering-, logistic and technician worker to be consistent models vise with those worn by construction workers. Maintenance- and technician workers were given lore accurate brown boots, logistic workers were given sand color/green boots and engineers/custodians keep black boots (credits to Racer and Monolith Fanatic for the textures)

- Updated breen_bms model to be be consistent with other admin models
- Mics. fixes to character manifest

- Potentially fixed NPC being gibbed by running in to a tripmine in WGH map A being able to crash the game

- Fixed closed coat scientist normal map having shirt buttons in wrong places
- Fixed missing phong shading on non hurt firechief helmet
- Fixed minor UV map and optimization issues on First Response security and bodyguard vests
- Fixed various UV mapping and topology issues on jacket guard jackets
- Fixed major UV mapping issue on guard helmets. This wasnt huge deal on vanilla or BMCE models but was extremely noticable due to chrome top guard helmets now have

- Fixed female office workers going completely unused albeit with a new, revised model
- Potentially fixed an issue with female guards not being able to pull out their gun correctly

- Fixed female guards using female scientist gibs and not guard gibs
- Fixed administration personnel not being able to give player drugs (restored syringes for admins)
- HECU should no longer spawn randomly with flipped down NVG (this is to prevent them from burning their eyes by using NVGs outdoors or otherwise well lit areas).

- Bodyguard PCV and high vis vest are now usable only alongside the closed coat bodygroup to fix very noticable clipping issues
- Fixed First Response security ID badge materials being inconsistent with those of other models
- Fixed female guard ponytails lacking jigglebones
- Fixed long standing issue with scientist zombie labcoat clipping with not only itself but also the legs. We are very much aware that BMBS added custom scientist zombie model with jiggleboned labcoat that sort of also fixes this problem, but we deemed that model to be way too janky for our taste so we decides to just fix this on the original model instead.
- Fixed boneweight issue with cleansuit scientist zombie fingers
- Improved UV mapping on high vis vests
Removals:
- Removed hydration pack on First Response security vest
- Removed 2nd body bodygroup from logistic workers as this had very noticable and unfixable clipping issues with the new worker gloves
- Smithers no longer wears HEV suit, meaning all the scripted HEV NPCs now appear in LC
- High vis vest is no longer usable alongside freely swinging ties on office workers
- Removed 03 HEV scientist as unnecessary
- Removed pen behind ear bodygroup from all models as unnecessary to free up some extra material space
- Removed the original mask design of Black Ops Assassins seeing as its no longer useful with the new NVG design hiding the eyes even when using the partially-exposed-face mask anyway
- Removed Gordon face from all 04 models
- Removed osha_inspector_hurt model as unnecessary
- Removed a rather childish and nasty easter egg left by one of the BMCE developers who I will not name here simple due to the fact that calling them out by name would make me fall to their level, but I have very good idea of who it was
Additional notes:
- Map replacements/additional zombie variants are still planned, they were just not the priority for this update
- We are still not interested in making BMCER consistent with BMBS or any other campaign mod. Use F5Man's BM: Blue Shift Styled Wear mod instead
- We are still not interested in reverting any of the models to their pre-2022 update versions
- We have no plants to revert any of the visual changes done in this update
