Description:
placed some background models... assuming the build menu 'lay model' and the title of the selector box sais 'background model' and instead it shows ground textures in the picture of what your picking, i assume thats a bug.

the only way ive successfully been able to plant one is with the .addeffect 9 - 12 for 1 - 4.

works fine that way, cept when you enter 'set block' mode with one in view, the texture disappears, until you leave block mode.
and sometimes the textures dont appear at all. restarting client will sometimes temporarily bring them back up.

ps is there a way to rotate background models?

The models not displaying is a bug, morb, and an old one at that. I can successfully lay background models just using startline and the normal "lay model" menu... you just have to remember which model is which, because it does indeed show surface tiles instead of the model preview. Oh, and ("obviously") model 0 is actually background model 1, 1 is 2, and so on.

uninstalled and reinstalled. the texture on my background model turns blank white for about 3 seconds when i fire my machine gun, default weapon 1.

however, when i fire default weapon 2 (bomb) the texture stays on the background model just fine. weapon settings: (the one where the vehicle determines the weapon) I have both weapons coming out of the default tractor vehicle 3 which is set to fps controls. camera type,1 (fps) I am laying the model using startline and lay model.

any ideas?
