Does anyone know or remember where to get that fix for the 'weapon model/animation not found' spam bug? its really annoying not being ablo to see my damage and have my console filled with that error. I remember there was a fix when the original ms was still alive but i couldnt use it cause it messed up other animations (like walking, made you look like marvin the martin walking around) that i couldnt stand. If anyone has or perhaps make another fix for it i would be very apprciated (sp?)

Press ~ to open console

Type Developer 0

Press Enter

Press ~ to close console

Problem solved.

Feh, I always play with it off... I'm only concerened about when the bugger stops moving, the info shows up in console when I want to see it.

You can also setup a bind for it: bind pgup "developer 1" bind pgdn "developer 0" etc, or a toggle alias, I suppose. Other than those options, I can't think of another way around it under Steam. If you have Won, you don't need the developer, you'll still see your damage properly.

i think it even happened in won, but im not sure. I just remember someone made a mini-patch thing for it but it screwed up other animations. I was kinda hopeing that someone either still has that or make another fix for it.

Yeah, I remember it happened on won if the developer was on, and it was on by default then as well... I had this same conversation in the old forums. ;) But in Won, if you turned the developer off, the game still displayed your damage.

When they transferred to the semi-scalable font system in Steam, they didn't quite ensure 100% compatibility with the old screen-echo system. So you see this issue with a lot of old games. There's even a few issues TFC has a result, though nothing critical, it just fails to display some superfluous messages it used to show.

Still, tis rather annoying oversite that's yet to be 100% fixed.
