[CS:S + L4D1 Anims Remix] Combat Knife+

Description
Current Mod Version: v1_0
Replaces: Combat Knife / CS:S Knife
SOUNDS NOT INCLUDED -- I RECOMMEND USING THIS ADDON FOR SOUNDS!

The following mod gives the animations of the default Counter-Strike: Source knife a fresh new coat of paint, a L4D1 coat of paint if you will.

The knife is one of my favorite melee weapons in the game but I don't like its implementation in L4D2 very much. It's a pretty tiny knife (compared to CS:S), the swing looks pretty robotic and all the other animations somewhat do the job but they could do better, so this is what this mod aims to do (or at least try).

Since I am a fan of L4D1 animations I decided to try and apply what I think works about those animations into this knife as well as correcting what I think doesn't work very well with the vanilla version of it.

To recap what's new:
  • Knife is now larger. (This is the size it is supposed to be in CS:S).
  • Reimported drawing animation. (To accomodate for the larger blade).
  • New idle animation along with somewhat cleaner looking fingers. (Borrowed from the L4D1 dual pistols).
  • Reimported swing animation. (To make the swing be less robotic).
  • New running animation. (Borrowed from the L4D1 dual pistols).
  • New melee animation. (Borrowed from the Molotov).
  • New lookpose animations. (Recreated using the L4D1 dual pistol ones as inspiration).

I don't know for what reason you'd want to but if you wish to take any assets from this mod (like the animations or the models) feel free to do so, you do not need to ask for permission, just please give me credit for it. This being said please don't make commissions out of this either, thank you. (If you do borrow content from this add-on I recommend you check this page every now and again, sometimes I come back and push an update if something bugs me post-release).

Please report any bugs you find!

L4D1-styled melee animations is a really cool concept

Could this potentially lead to l4d1 style animations for All the melee weapons?

This is actually great, for once the CS:S knife doesn't look goofy!

I forgot to add a extra note but if you plan to make melee weapons with the L4D1 style running animation for melees, that WOULD be so sick instead of keeping the same idle-run animation from L4D2. Kind of a different alternative scenario of running with a melee.
