INSTALLATION & FAQ
Installation

Ensure, already you have BMCE, Extended Captions and Chapters Overhauls with map patches (they’re all should be on custom folder):

Female HECU are optional, but have some issues! And now you don't need to subscribe!

1. Subscribe and drag “2_BMCE_FEMVO_thebase” from folder "3260559256" to game's bms\custom folder.

And if you want female HECU, including reskins, Classic or Realism
2. Download THIS PACK WITH HECU[drive.google.com], and in archive which named "2_BMCE_FEMVO_female_marines", extract "2_BMCE_FEMVO_female_marines.vpk" to bms\custom folder.
3. Also there are reskins which matches to original ones, and drag it again to bms\custom, if asks to replace, apply it. For HECU Romka Classic there are "1_BMCE_Classic", and for HECU Realism are “1_BMCE_HECU_Remastered", it will replace existing.

Possible problems:

Weapon unholstering
Only if you still have Glock issues! To fix this error, these solutions should solve that problem (in my case I did them and they're fixed it):
1. Maybe too many other mods? If they're not too many, you can immediately go to next step.
2. Select other launch parameters (e.g. try switching through DX9-DX11).
3. Reinstall all Visual C++ libraries.
4. Finally, VERIFY game files. I did it even twice.
Hopefully, with these steps that bug should be gone.

Choreography animating
It's very hardest thing to solve, but at least shouldn't affect main gameplay. And female grunts can shoot with wrong pose – with this I currently unfortunately can’t do anything (if u know, tell me please, but I doubt about that). Also nevermind console errors about "not found sequence...", these lacked animations just cosmetic gestures. And this applies about "wide shoulders" too.
But if you found major character gesturing issues (e.g. T-pose sometimes)... it worth to tell and ask me about it.

Speech voicing
Sometimes lipsync are doesn’t work, despite it being at voice lines (personally it can appear only in my cases?). Also you may be say, there are female guards sounding like Australian English. But clarify, about women, which speaking like Australian, I don’t care much and instead you can just accept that all security personnel, even men (have slightly southern accent even in vanilla game) are Australian (I’m just kidding).

So I don't need realism or romka to have female soldiers?

Unless you want vanilla, they’re needed.

Is this compatible with BMSC's full version 1.30?

So if I may ask?
When I enter office complex, specifically the part where the first guard after the turret is found I find that the guard never becomes a woman after much reloading of quick saves and map reloads.

Also thank you for your quick response but I can't help but find myself confused by the choice of words as well as the bolding of the word "compatible".

I ask if you are planning to commit to a sleep schedule that leaves you well rested and if you can elaborate on your intended meaning of the statement above.

Thank you.

To that point I have been created BMSC maps patches, they’re fixing these issues.

Understood, many Thanks!

Greetings! Me again!

Must I use chapter overhauls and/or Black mesa source classic for this to work?
And if so do you plan on ever making a version that works with the base game?

Also hope your day is well!
Romus  [developer] 20 Aug, 2024 @ 12:05pm 
The patches don’t work without respecting map changing mod (they’re based from them).
Also I doubt that I would create patch from vanilla map, since BMCE is intended to use with Chapter Overhauls, and in base game it’s not fully suitable (character misplacement).

Greetings! Last time I installed the mod I have stumbled upon missing textures, female marines with male voicelines, and frequent game crashes. I think I had chaper overhauls installed back then. What could be the main reason of this?

Also, I'm planning of reinstalling this again. I got BMCE:R, HECU Realism and chapter overhauls installed. Should it work fine if I follow the main download process?

Yes, with reinstalling it again. But I beg, with following steps.

And as I presume(!), that missing textures are on main mod, which you forgot install (maybe).

Heya! Me again. I've installed every file correctly but uhh. I'm yet to stumble upon a female marine or a security guard. Do you have any idea regarding what the issue could be?
gustaf 21 Aug, 2024 @ 9:16am 
Okay updates. Vanilla female marines pop up with missing textures-- and male voice too.
Romus  [developer] 21 Aug, 2024 @ 9:40am 
Missing textures on faces or? And as for voices, you’re having BMCER? So even he should be overriden by his femmarines version if you’re using ones.

missing textures for accessories such as boonies. And yes, I'm using BMCER + HECU Realism. Just so you know I used the "HECU_Remastered" folder for custom folder.
