Trick to bypass the bug in placing models in RPG

[dassoubarna]

I have faced some problem when I try to put my own model in RPG mode.

I have read about the problem and the bug in the following topic.

viewtopic.php?f=15&t=492&p=2312&hilit=spawn#p2312

I use a trick to solve the problem.

I put my own model in the models folder. (e.g. /SoU/mummy).

Then I go to the /data folder and open the default_map_models.cfg file.

I put my model path in the list as shown below.

• ..............................................
  ..........................................
  mmodel "rc/blue"
  mmodel "rc/red" //128
  mmodel "rpg/characters/dragon"
  mmodel "rpg/characters/golem"
  mmodel "rpg/characters/grizzly"
  mmodel "rpg/characters/grizzly/lighter"
  mmodel "rpg/characters/horse"
  mmodel "rpg/characters/horse/black"
  mmodel "rpg/characters/horse/grey"
  mmodel "rpg/characters/horse/light_brown"
  mmodel "rpg/characters/mman"
  mmodel "rpg/characters/npcman" //138
  mmodel "rpg/characters/rat"
  mmodel "rpg/characters/snagon"
  mmodel "rpg/characters/wolf"
  mmodel "SoU/mummy"

As you can see the number of some models are written as a comment in the right side. The "rpg/characters/npcman" is the the 138th model.
So mine will be 142("SoU/mummy").

Now I open RPG in edit mode. I place my model SoU/mummy from the GUI. As usual it put a model box without a model.

Now I press "." to edit the entity . In command line I can see the following

/entset mapmodel 274 274 142 0 0 0 0 0 0

I just change the second attribute to 142 which is the model number and the next one is the trigger type which I change to 0 (or anything you want according to your requirement of trigger between 0 ..... 29). The first attribute is the Yaw.

/entset mapmodel 274 142 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

But still I don't see my model. Now I just put 141 instead of 142 and it works.

/entset mapmodel 274 141 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
And now I can see my model appeares in the map.

If you want to use "rpg/characters/npcman" just put 137.

For "rpg/characters/wolf", 140; for "rpg/characters/rat", 138 and so on.

If it is an already created map put in your maps art.cfg Make sure to put at the end. Putting it in the map_default_settings.cfg is so that it appears in future maps that you make and it will automatically be placed in the art files for the new maps. Take care.
