I tracked down the animation problem. For some reason, even though the mod was created as a DM mod, it wasn't reading the animation mdl's from DM. Extracting them manually and copying them to the mod directory fixed that. This is very strange because the animations were only not working on dedicated servers, on listen servers they worked fine.
The death notice thing I talked about earlier still sporadically happens. Sometimes (so far I've only seen it on dedicated servers) it just reports all the player deaths as a player named "unconnected" suiciding no matter who dies or who. I'm not sure what the cause of that is. On Mon, 21 Feb 2005 11:12:39 -0800, Alfred Reynolds <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I don't know about that problem sorry, haven't had any reports of it > either.
