Hi Folks,

I've dug up an old to project to work on with some friends. However, we've found that selecting certain weapons are causing the game to crash (they are all custom). Sadly I'm not much of a programmer but I do have access to the full source and the will to learn. Could anyone please recommend where to start looking in the source?

If people are interested I can upload the source to a server.

In depth problem description (well as far as I can go)

The game crashes when 2 specific weapons are switched to. These are hard coded and if they are not assigned to the player (we have a custom class system using LUA) the game works fine. So far I've tried checking all of the media and not really found any issue, the game crashes no matter what weapon model is assigned. I've searched through the code and found the rouge weapons causing the problem, but I'm at a loss in deciding what to comment out.

Sounds like it's time to fire up the debugger. When the game crashes, the resulting stack trace should give you some insight into the cause.
