When using large models for player models the hitboxes are located as per a
normal sized player, not in the loactions specified for the large model.
Large non-player models perform correctly in all regards, including having
the hitboxes expanded to the correct size/location.

I did not know that was possible, although as I am running a listen server I
do not believe this will affect us atm.

Damn :}

I will verify that this is correct. I am currently using this code to set
models:
// This is called from CBasePlayer::Spawn()
void CClassGarg::ClassSpawn ()
{
m_pOwner->SetPlayerModel ("garg", "models/player/garg/garg.mdl");
...
}
void CBasePlayer::SetPlayerModel (char *szSubModel, char *szModelPath)
{
// Major model change
SET_MODEL(ENT(pev), szModelPath);
// Submodel change
strcpy ( m_szShortModelname, szSubModel);
// Force the model change
SET_CLIENT_KEYVALUE (entindex(), GET_INFO_BUFFER (edict()), "model",
szSubModel);
}

I have not changed any of this code, but will make this change and see what
happens.
Thanks, Jeff.
