SEPTEMBERA problem

[tehrilez]

I installed the new monthly patch, and I got ara and chapel


I turned on FN and started my server on chapel.

I got this : ModNumForName: missing models/prop/shovel.mdl or something like that.

:?

I want to play chapel.

That's very easy to fix, I'm impressed you don't know how to fix that, but anyways, copy a model, paste it somewhere, change the name to the file you are missing, copy your name-edited and paste it where the game says it missing, done.

I get that too, take the other way around.

that gets rid of the error, but thats hardly a fix

I demand shovels!

 

[Shadeska]

There's a shovel in gatecity and ms_snow...use that model.

 

[Shurik3n]

Hmmm, I thought you were in protest of the level restriction system and weren't going to download any more beta packs.

 

[Thothie]

I think maybe Shovel was part of the media in ms_snow, but not included with the chapel package. Will examine/fix. The res file generator was used to create it, I believe, and that bugger is notoriously screwy.

 

[PBarnum]

I think maybe Shovel was part of the media in ms_snow.

Thats right Thothie, the first map the shovel appeared in was ms_snow. Suggest downloading that again, or have someone put up a link for you.

Different shovel. Unlike highlanders, there can be more than one.

I dont want some random model where the shovel is supposed to be.


Also, now I'm getting an error at random parts of Chapel. I went on a server and it downloaded the shovel.mdl, but now whenever I play chapel it says "missing shovelT.mdl"

 

[Jelly]

I've learned that the xT.mdl is the texture file for the model. You can use the same trick for that file too.

Copy shovel.mdl, paste somewhere, change name, cut it, paste it. -_-

You asked for a fix, I'm offering you one.

 

[Thothie]

Either download ms_snow (which as both shovel and shovelt) or clear your internet cache and re-download Chapel, which now has a coupled shovel.mdl.

To avoid this you should put all of these approved maps and models and whatever in the patches. It gets annoying having to find the correct files in other maps. I think it would help anyway.


To belmont - I want the shovel, I don't want something like, a shield. Besides, if the shovel played animations (which it doesn't I believe) it would fuck me up even more. I just want to avoid that.

If I were to include all the custom map media in the betapackage it'd be a 127MB download right now. Map media is the mapper's responsibility.

In anycase, sfaik, this is the first time we've had this issue.

Problem is people are using automated .res file generators that don't work right, so I gotta go through and do it myself.

Download ms_snow, or clear internet cache and redownload chapel, and of issue.

 

[tehrilez]

127 MB isn't that bad.

I'd rather have to wait a few more minutes than trying to find all of the maps needed for just one to work.

That or they need to start including these files with their maps.

 

[Thothie]

Well you can host the 127MB patch that everyone needs to download every month then, cuz I'm sure as hell not.
(Add the maps themselves and we're looking at 300mb or so)

...and the mappers DO include the files with their maps, this is the first and only exception, sfaik.

I just stuck the shovel model into my MS:C model props folder...
