Can't see powerups, players, weapons

[barky]

I can report the same problem. I tried what was suggested but it didn't work for me either. I did, however, seem to get something to show up for the player models after changing the extensions. Instead of a model I got a multicolored cube running around, inverted upwards. Maybe the trick would be to try and get the bullets object not to render? then work from there? I can also report that I have a similar problem in the previous version (2.4 I believe) but a little different. I can see weapons and objects but no player models. I have an ATI x1800xt running on ubuntu 8.04.


If this helps at all, the game savage 2 has a similar problem displaying character models because of a bug with ati shaders. I'm not sure what the nature of the problem is technically but maybe you guys could collaborate with them for a temporary solution.

I'll post screen shots of all these problems in a sec.

edit: well, it changed a little this time. I changed the shotgun .zym and one of the .md3 files to .mdl and ran it. Now in stead of the cubes for player models, the players are still invisible and I get some multicolored pyramids around the map.

seems the savage 2 guys figured it out: http://forums.s2games.com/showthread.php?t=10122

that is, of course, if it stems from the same problem

I tried renaming the extension of the shotgun model but it didn't work, I got the same multicolored pyramid as barky, so I could "see" the bots moving around when they were carrying a shotgun, because there was that funny pyramid moving around. But of course if the bots were carrying another weapon I could see nothing!

I thought it wouldn't work, since as I mentioned before all of the models render on my same hardware when I run the game under Mandriva, but it runs somewhat slow to be playable. But hey, I had to try it

Any clues yet as to what is the problem? Thanks

just a guess, is everybody using an ATI video card? I'm on a radeon x1800xt

update for me:

well, i got it working. As it turns out, for some reason linux doesn't like me playing from the zipped file from sourceforge. I downloaded 2.4 through synaptic (im on ubuntu 8.04) and it all works now. Now my curiosity is spiked because I have no idea technically why this is so. I guess I'll update through the patch to 2.4.2

btw thanks to mookow for suggesting that i do this

edit: well, all works now. Apparantly I'm not supposed to run the nexuiz.exe file, but the nexuiz-linux-gxl file. Game runs great too.
