Updated HEV Player + Xen

THIS ADDON REQUIRES MANUAL INSTALLATION!
This will have to be done again after updates!
Changes to models other than the player model can be mounted from the workshop, and shouldn't require manual installation.

This addon replaces the older HEV player model included with Black Mesa with a new one made from the suit world model included in the current version of the game. The helmet is modified from the model actually used on the older model, with modified geometry, textures and shaders.
As of June 26th, this addon also replaces Xen bodies and HEV Zombies. The zombies are currently a work in progress, as gibs and normalmaps aren't yet complete.

In order for this addon to function, you must copy the VPK from the workshop folder to your custom folder. To do so, follow these instructions:

1. If you haven't already, create a custom folder.
   
2. Navigate to the following folder:
   C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\362890\1592469174
   If you have Steam installed elsewhere, or use multiple libraries, go to your respective Steam/library folder. I can't help you do this.
   
3. Copy "newhevplayer.vpk" to your custom folder from step one.

After following these steps, the addon should now function.
If not, make sure you followed the guide in step one accurately.
If "newhevplayer.vpk" or the "1592469174" folder don't exist (and you're sure you're looking in the right place), try unsubcribing and resubscibing to the addon, or running and closing the game first. That said, Steam should download the addon file as soon as you subscribe.

Put simply, Black Mesa doesn't load player models from workshop addons. Other models are no problem, but player models require extra work.
I think this is most likely done in an attempt to prevent cheaters from spreading addons designed to give an unfair advantage online.
I don't agree with this for two reasons: First, it impedes the spread of legitimate addons such as this one. Second, it's fairly easy to get around, as seen here.
Nevertheless, it exists, and we have to work around it.

Thanks to Johnnylew for screenshots 13-21!
