But doesn't that assume you set the model yourself with the "SET_MODEL" command, and precache it?
What I'm trying to avoid is precaching ALL of our player models, which would mean: 1) Only server-defined player models could be used. This isn't an issue because I restrict the models client-side anyway through model encryption. 2) It would take up 40+Mb of memory for models that it never use. Right now my code does: char *szModel = "paladin"; // For instance... SET_MODEL( ENT(pev), "models/player.mdl" ); g_engfuncs.pfnSetClientKeyValue( entindex(), g_engfuncs.pfnGetInfoKeyBuffer( edict() ), "model", szModel ); ...but what does that have to do with "developer 0"? For the record, I set a breakpoint inside the client-side rendering code and, sure enough, "model/player.mdl" is the entity being rendered. Is this some safety feature in Half-Life? Tnx & Rgds...

I found out you have to clear out the model key like this: // Have to do this or else ingame model switching does not work for some reason g_engfuncs.pfnSetClientKeyValue( entindex(), g_engfuncs.pfnGetInfoKeyBuffer( edict() ), "model", "" ); That fixed my problem. -------------- Project Lead/Coder Gladiator mod [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 11425443 http://gladiator.lan-gaming.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of David Flor Sent: Friday, May 17, 2002 8:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [hlcoders] Third person player / Developer mode Something weird... "The Opera" has a third person mode that I emulate, so to speak. I am planning of releasing a patch in the coming days, but I noticed something rather odd. When I ran in third person, I noticed that the player model always appears as the "player.mdl" reference model, irrespective of the model selected. BUT it only did that when "developer 0" is set. If I set "developer 1", I see the correct model. Is this normal? Is there something deep in my code that might be causing this, or is this a native Half-Life thing? Tnx & Rgds...
