As we seem to be sharing fixes for strange behavior, I thought I'd share my latest ... "experience" with you.
I have been having a problem where the incorrect animation would be displayed for a player, seemingly at random. So instead of running a player would swim, or it would say sequence 77 not in model hgrunt etc. Each class in our mod has it's own model, and each model only has animations for each of the weapons it uses, no more than 10 per class. I originally thought this was due to animations being incorrectly named in the model, however this would only explain problems displaying weapon animations, and should not have affected action animations, like swimming or running. The real problem was that, for some odd reason, g_ulModelIndexPlayer was being used to reset the players pev->modelindex at every spawn. This had the effect of making every player reference, but not display, the model for the class of the player that was spawned last. Thus if run, swim etc where in a different order in a model then the incorrect sequence would be displayed. Also as different classes had different weapons, which is almost always true, then it would fail to find the correct weapon sequence, even though it was in the players model. Needles to say this was a real pain in the ass to work out, especially as I had never used, or even noticed, g_ulModelIndexPlayer. The moral is that if you use models with different sequences, or different sequence order, then you should comment out references to g_ulModelIndexPlayer. I have commented them all out and have not seen any effects, other than the correct sequences being displayed :} Hope this saves someone a brain tumor ;) Jeff "DarthBobo" Fearn ----------------------------------------------------------------- Lead Coder, Web Master, Server Administrator for SWARM http://swarm.edgegaming.com ----------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
