Pre-Release MP5

Originally created by Lassi "Sproily" Patokorpi, Pontus "Spitfire" Ryman (http://pontus.viewbook.com/), Nikos "Jennifer" Makridakis, and Nathan "NateDGreat" Ayres, this is a recreation of the MP5 as seen on pre-release photos and videos, before the design was changed.

The original mesh and diffuse texture found on the 2006 BMS content leak were used as base. From there, further changes and improvements were done:

- Right side completed, with an ejection port and unique texture changes
- Fixed a couple of mesh issues, including the normals
- Uses BMS retail arms and animations
- New HD animated holosight texture
- Bumpmap and Phong
- Optimised worldmodel
- Human and alien blood splatters
- Multiplayer compatible

There are some clipping of hands with the gun due to some slight proportion changes, but to be honest, the vanilla retail MP5 has also clipping issues.
At first I wanted to use the original holosight texture, but this one was of too low quality and didn't look good in game. Plus, it seems on videos and photos, that it got replaced soon anyway. Therefore, I did a new separate texture, that while a bit flat, allows anyone to easily recolor it by editing the VMT. It also has effects like the HL2 SMG holosight.

No sounds are included on this release. I tried at first use the ones from the teaser video, but I couldn't isolate them properly from the music and other effects. And then I tried to recreate them, but they weren't good. As a such, I went with the SDK 2007 MP5 sounds instead.
But, since probably not everybody would like them or would use others instead, I decided to upload them into a separate item, that you can find them here: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3226823175
