Player Models not appearing as ragdoll when killed.

[Joobie]

Models don't show up as ragdolls when killed. They just vanish?

I have 2 models.. Duke Nukem and Michael Jordan. When Michael Jordan is killed, everything works fine. He's there and everything.
But when Duke Nukem gets killed he just vanishes. Everything is in the right order and the only console errors im getting for this is something related to Corpse.Lua

I looked into it and didn't come up with any solution.

L 10/15/2012 - 10:04:43: Lua Error: [gamemodes/terrortown/gamemode/corpse.lua:368] Model missing: models/jessev92/player/misc/dukenukem.mdl
[gamemodes/terrortown/gamemode/corpse.lua:368] Model missing: models/jessev92/player/misc/dukenukem.mdl

Here's my corpse.lua if you wanted to review it.

It says getmodel.. There's also an error in my console that it cannot find the model of Duke Nukem, although it works in game? Confused?

[B]It says error on line 368. Just CTRL + F if you wanna fine line 368. I edited it.[/B]

Well, I don't know shit but lets see if I can lend a hand.

Stupid questions first, the model actually is on the server, right? Yeah, I thought so. No offense, I told you it was a stupid question lol

Now about the game itself, is this being run on a linux server? Because if it is, remember that linux is case sensitive, and windows isnt. So, just for fun, check to make sure that the line that sets the player model has the file path capitalized correctly. if you're using the addon I just checked, JesseV92 is the correct capitals.

Alternatively, you could see what happens if you rename the folder JesseV92 to jessev92. But first, check the caps in the setmodel line.

Tried the case sensitive thing. Also the server can't find the model. Even though the model works.

Also.. There's an error on line 24 for why the model isn't registering.

Weird. Well dammit. Is this a dedicated server, or is it you hosting on your own machine? This error is showing up serverside only, right?

[Dizla]

The model you are trying to set as a ragdoll is made for players - and only players, thus cant be used as a ragdoll. You'll have to find a ragdolled version of it to be able to carry out what you are currently trying. There's nothing else you can do as far as I am aware.

This is a rented server from elpishost.com

Well, I'm stuck. Dizla is probably right, but i would think that the model would be standing in a T position if it werent for ragdolls.

gonna test something, brb

EDIT: in the mean time, is this gm 12 or 13 beta?

Dizla was right. I ragdolled myself and nothing happened. Thanks for the responses guys.

[me-name-bob]

Well, sorry I couldn't help any more. I still think theres a way to get it working. Ther4es no way you'll let me ftp into your server, is there? haha

better luck next time i guess
