(there is 1 - 8 other abilities, this number 9 was the next available number)

Did you pre-cache the model in your .cfg file?

For example this is what I use for my Bonk Boy:

PHP Code:

"ability6"
    {
        "name" "special_dropprop"
        "arg1"    "models\weapons\c_models\c_energy_drink\c_energy_drink.mdl"
        "arg3"    "1"
        "plugin_name"    "ff2_1st_set_abilities"
    } 


and this for the pre-cache

PHP Code:

"mod_precache"
    {
        "1"    "models\weapons\c_models\c_energy_drink\c_energy_drink.mdl"
    }

Well Sindex, I did not.. so I will try that. I was kinda mimiking Bill's config which works and the bills hat was not precache'd

So sounds like it would not hurt on the bill's config to add

 "mod_precache" 
    { 
        "1"    "models\player\items\sniper\sniper_bill.mdl" 
    }

I will try what you suggested later...thanks for the reply sir!

Gimme a try. Ill see.
//EDIT
In fact nevermind. Its got too many things it would be hard to convert them all again. Because when you attach something you decompile the model, you break it up into models, QCs and textures, then you gotta add the wep in his hand and recompile everything.

Also I have run into some problems. How can you remove medic's glasses? Where are the lenses in the textures so I can maybe make that part transparent or something?

If you’re talking about the point where any first spawn boss at the beginning of the round cannot use any special abilities. The answer is yes. It seems to bug out on altered bosses or custom bosses more so then the originals for FF2.

However I have yet to notice the problem of late. Right now I am still on Oto’s 1.06a because I heard that powerlords version crashes clients. I still have to test it out; which I will do probably after the major TF2 update on Wednesday.

This is the first I've heard of it. I was playing on the Gents server for quite some time over the past few days (which is how I found out that I forgot to have it hide the health bar if the round ended and the boss is still alive).

Side note: This boss health thing doesn't play well if Monoculus is summoned during the boss round, as the health will continue updating seemingly randomly based on whether it was one of the FF2 bosses or Monoculus that was last damaged.

less than a day now before Valve breaks Sourcemod

Well let’s see what happens tomorrow. I think it probably a 75% of source mod breaking tomorrow. I really hope it does not happen. However I am expecting a quick fix unless it’s something really severe.
