Can't see powerups, players, weapons

[divVerent]

Start by switching to low settings, turning of OpenGL 2.0 and VBO. Does the problem persist then?

Yes divVerent, the problem still persists I tried switching every single option on/off in the Video and Effects tabs, using low settings, etc. and nothing seems to work. I don't know what the problem could be, I checked and I do have the latest drivers they made for my card, the card is obviously discontinued though, so they probably won't be making any more updates to it. But still, since I can see the map and move around even with my old card, shouldn't I be able to see the weapons and bots as well? Thanks!

Next thing to try is to call it with the command line option -safe, as in

nexuiz.exe -safe

Hi, i've been on the IRC and no one has any idea. I am using a PowerBook G4 2001 and 10.3.9.

I got this problem when I downloaded the game yesterday. I am using 2.4.2 and I thought it would be fine as I used 2.4.2 on my school loaner, a Macbook G5 10.4.5, and I don't get that problem there. ( I am however, unable to see any servers, but that might be because of a school block or something, who knows)

I have settings at Low in effects (which by the way looks exactly the same as Normal but runs faster. ) with a couple of tweaks of the sliders. I am also using SDL so I can use my mouse, if it helps any to know that.

Would really like to be able to play...

Edit: Also, what do I call on a Mac? is it still a .exe? or something different? And I am guessing this is done in Terminal? I want to try this -safe option.

Edit: Just tried Downer. Still everything the same, but I can see the shells (ammo) in the basement and platform. They are models... so it must be a directory problem? Also I checked console, there are no model rendering failures of any kind.

I have had the same problem...I was running Nexuiz two versions old (? ver 2.4?) and it worked fine, no problems at all with the video. I just upgraded and now can move through the levels and shoot and get killed, but my own player, all enemies, my weapon, all pickups, etc. are invisible. Of note, I *can* see the bullet/rocket trails when I fire, and the explosions. Here is my basic info:
WinXP SP3 on Toshiba Satellite 2430 with 512MB ram, Intel Pentium 4, NVideo GeForce420Go with 3.2.3.0 drivers (Forceware drivers don't support this card).

I also have tried -safe mode, almost all video options, full/windowed, etc and no visible objects yet. As I said, it all worked with the previous (2 versions ago) release.

I hope this info is helpful, thanks for the awesome game!

I tried that divVerent, the game ran in windowed mode but still nothing, everything is still invisible but the map and the gunshot effects

Open the console with ~ (or Shift + Esc) and type: r_drawentities 1

Does that fix the problem?

[Pande]

That code does not exist. 'unkown command'

I tried both with / and without it.

Unfortunately it doesn't, and I tried restarting the map after setting the variable, restarting the game too and still nothing

I suffer the same problem, but I found one item correctly drawn, that is bullet ammunition.

I browsed through the .pk3 file and found almost all models are having .md3 extension but one item named "models\items\a_bullets.mdl" has .mdl extension. If this is the visible model, internal file format seems to have something to do with the problem.

That must be it! someone who has this problem try converting the shotgun model to .md3 extension (I guess they are .ase's?) and if it loads, then a simple patch can be made with converted files.

If you mean just rename the extension, I tried it for some of the models/weapons files. IThere are g_*.md3, v_*.md3 and w_*.zym files, and I tried renaming some .md3 to .mdl (shotgun included) and no luck.
Thanks for looking into this issue!
