Topic Starter	Topic: Shotgun Impacts aren't showing up
Kaz Señor Shambler Joined: 07 Mar 2006 Posts: 849	Posted: 01-24-2008 01:59 PM                  I've been stuck with this problem for some time now, and I've gone through and tried doing just about whatever reverting, debugging, whathaveyou I can think of and it's still messed up. The shotgun bullet impacts simply don't show up. I don't remember during which compile they disappeared but they did and it was random as hell. I've traced each function from firing to the pellet code to the impact marks and all of them are executing. I looked at where the media is defined, and it uses the same exact media that the pistol and machinegun use, which do work perfectly fine. I turned on r_showtris 1, and they aren't even being stuck on the surface they impact. It actually does damage to a player however, so I assume the collision is working properly. You can grab the full game/cgame/ui source here, and I'm more than willing to post any functions you would like to look at specifically. Hopefully someone can help out

EDIT: I noticed you added some stuff to the playerstate struct and entitystate structs in q_shared.h. It's not a good idea to do this as as the each member is transmitted individually and the client and engine expects them in the right order. This could cause a few problems. I suggest taking the new stuff out and putting them into stat or persistant variables (in bg_public.h, look for STAT_ or PERS_) _________________ -It is not the fall that kills you.

I was having another issue where the ammo wouldn't update properly, that ended up being a small change in msg.c... just in case people run into similar issues
