*VERY IMPORTANT*

To get this to work you have to go to:

Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\362890\2700659361

and copy the vpk file and past it into your Black Mesa customs folder:

Steam\steamapps/common/Black Mesa/bms/custom

First of all a big shout-out to the creators of the original version. I have done basically nothing compared to them and if they wish for me to remove this post I will do so.

Diamond: Original Creator of the model.
PAYNAMIA/SKYNINJA: Porting and animations.

I always liked the Classic Barney Vest for BMS addon by Paynamia and renandantas71 but I could never get over how low the vest was. Looking at the comments, it seems I wasn't alone. Unfortunately it appears that version isn't going to be updated anytime soon so I have taken it upon myself to fix this issue.

In addition to adjusting where the vest sits, I have also resized and modified the vest to better match its original Half-Life 1 counterpart and fit better on the Security Guard Model.

Keep in mind this does not include a zombie variant. That is something I may do in the future. In the meantime, there is a zombie variant by XRGM1267 available, I just can't get it to work for me.

This is my first time working with models so it certainly isn't perfect but I hope you enjoy!

- Trog I'll look into it and see if the folder name has changed but I'd be surprised, not the most knowledgeable on all this stuff so apologies I don't have an immediate answer.

- It is not BMCE compatible, I did have another version that was but unfortunately it is now outdated, however, I do intend to update it sometime just have no clue when as it is a lot of monotonous work.

- it is a remodelling of the previous classic vest mod to make it sit more naturally on Barney's body as the old version hung very low. But if you're asking if it is a retexture or remodel of the original Black Mesa vest then it is both.

To answer all of your questions:

- I have no idea why your Barney's are all invisible or why the mod isn't working. I haven't updated the mod in a long time but I'd be very surprised if any updates have made the mod broken. I'd imagine there must be a clash with another mod.

- I could probably make a mod for the blueshift mod that changes the vests, Sounds like a fun idea however I don't want to make any promises though as I haven't really found the time or motivation to work on any of my old mods but never say never. I also give full permission to anyone to make that mod a reality if they wish to do so.

Is this a retexture or a remodelling?
