IMPROVED MESA + CLASSIC XEN COLORS

Description
READ DESCRIPTION BEFORE DOWNLOAD

About this mod:
This mod was born with the aim of adding some changes such as adding more enemies to the game, with the old name Enemies +. Over time my experience with modding Source has improved, so I have turned the old Enemies + into what you see here.

Now IMPROVED MESA aims to modify the vanilla game with such as difficulty balancing by adding or removing ammo, supply crates or health / batteries. The enemies placement has also been modified and improved with the aim of bringing to light the gameplay experience of the original Half-Life proposed by Valve as far back as 1998, keeping the aspects of the definitive edition.

On a rail uncut
This version contains on a rail uncut, although also revisited.

Blue Shift extra stuff
This mod also now contains soundtrack, and some models from BM: BS

Damocles crowbar pickup animations
I sincerely thank the modder cyvo who allowed me to extract his crowbar animations from his damocles mod to insert them in Unforseen Consequences

Known issues
-Missing sounds from the scientist eaten by "shark" in Apprehension
-Missing sounds from bullsquid (attack and eating sequence)
-The texture at the beginning of OaR map D is not visible and appears black (as if there is no texture)

However, if you notice other bugs / issues you can write in the comments, I will reply

Solutions
To try to solve the problems related to the missing sounds listed above, I suggest you move the mod files to the custom folder, if you don't know how to create it, click here.

Compatibility
This mod is compatible with other mods that change the look of models, sounds and textures.
Inserting other mods that modify the map design is strictly not recommended as this would totally break the game causing many errors.

Where is changelog?
Currently, there is no changelog available, I still have to work on it, I have to find some time for this and with the work I cannot do it properly, I apologize for the inconvenience.

Special thanks and credits!
I really want to thank citizen5 for giving me the ok to revisit WGH Vent Mod.
I also strongly thank Cursed G-man, formerly known as The Gargantua Specialist for allowing me to use his leeches for BMSR, Vassago Rain for feedbacks, testing and tips and all the discord community dedicated to Black Mesa modding for helping me with some modding problems.

Bmce edition
BMCE version of this mod is work in progress, i am looking into making it and i think it may be out by july, BMCE models will be taken from BLUE SHIFT not Chapter Overhaul

IMPROVED MESA default xen colors:

From BM Military recruits from the training camp without armor - useful for hostile and friendly deserter soldiers.
and from Damocles, that guard with the newfangled gadgets, Daniels or whatever his name is.
And also equipment: a cargo helicopter from the blue shift, guard cars in various colors, Bradley's btr on rails or stationary from the Azure Sheep.
We could also add a scientist in a cleansuit from Azure Sheep.
and new skins for aliens: classic and Revamped (for hostiles in chapter 14 at the beginning and end) and at least one live hev scientist or hev guard in Xen

Speaking of personnel expansion for IMPROVED MESA + CLASSIC XEN COLORS you can add not only from Black Mesa Character Expansion (as well as Black Mesa Character Expansion Revisited) but also from the modifications : from blue shift workers and their zombie versions, Otis with his voiceover and Murdoch, soldiers (provided they were not taken from Black Mesa Character Expansion), from azure sheep: black operatives (for them maps bm_disarray and Communications Detour add in the surface tension and helicopter black) , female guards (including Kate) , human assassins (there are different variations) , maybe agents from the end of the first part;
