Advanced Headcrab Remover

This addon allows you to completely remove headcrabs from the game. There is another headcrab remover in the workshop, but it isn't what I was looking for, so I decided to make my own. Tell me if you find any problems.

- Everything is done with LUA. This doesn't simply make textures invisible.
- You can toggle the mod in game with a CVAR.
- You can disable Fast Zombie leap attack and Zombine grenade attack
- You can make Zombines always run
- Shooting zombies in the head won't make floating bullet wounds.
- Headcrabs don't cast shadows.
- Poison zombies won't try to throw headcrabs.
- Headcrabs won't appear for half a second when a zombie dies.
- Zombie models can be randomized via bonemerge

ahr_enabled [1/0]: Enables the addon (default 0).
ahr_disable_leap [1/0]: Disables Fast Zombie leap attack (default 0).
ahr_disable_grenade [1/0]: Disables Zombine grenade attack (default 0).
ahr_always_run [1/0]: Makes Zombines always run (default 0).
ahr_enable_reskin [1/0]: Enables skin randomizer (default 0).
ahr_reloadsettings: Reloads the skin randomizer model list.

You can now enable the skin randomizer mode. While this is active, any vainilla zombie will have it's model swapped with a random one.
The available models can be customized, you just have to edit the lists located in "garrysmod/data/advanced_headcrab_remover". There are four files there, one for each type of zombie. They contain a list of paths to the models. Any valve biped model should work, animations don't matter because models are applied via bonemerge.
By default, the mod comes with 10 zombie models from SMod Outbreak, configured for the zombie, fast zombie and zombine. They work for the poison zombie too, but are disabled by default, because most models look deformed on poison zombie animations.

Big thanks to whoever made the SMod Outbreak models. I couldn't find the names of their creators, but all those models are apparently free to be used anywhere.
