RE: [hlcoders] Model load failed functionality
I agree completely, go for it. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tony omega Sergi Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2003 3:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [hlcoders] Model load failed functionality Sounds good to me. Its sometimes quite irritating to have it crash on a missing model or something when I just quickly want to check something totally unrelated; when the model doesn't load. Another idea, would it be possible to make it load some generic model, for all missing models; instead of erroring on them? The way it does if a texture is missing?

Host_Error? ..?). The first application of this can be models fails to load, and in the future everything similar can be protected with the same cvar. my 0.02 monetary units. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
