Hey Maarten, are you precaching the model on the client only like I am or
are you precaching on the server which in turn precaches on the client and
creates an index for the model which is shared between the client and server
engine.
I am setting up a custom player model thing like Half-Life 1 Tony.
Its odd that the interp is the only issue, but it seems like the interp is
working from our tests and nothing seems to be wrong. I hit the engine on my
tests so I'm getting no where.
