Models not loading properly, globally enabled

[N0ctrnl]

I'm having some issues with models. I'm currently trying to change out a lot of the old models for newer ones (mummies, gargoyles, zombies).

The issue I'm having is that models aren't displaying properly on spawn. For example; I have switched the gargoyles in Velks to model 464 - the new gargoyle model. I can do a #race 464 in any zone and this works fine - even in Velks. But when I switch it in the database and then repop the zone, they come up as human models. If I do a #texture <anything> they'll switch to the proper model.

Has anybody else had something like this happen? I'm having it with the new ashenbone drake model, mummies and the gargoyle. I know the models are globally loaded because they do actually work. Just not on spawn.

Thoughts? :)

Edit: I have also created a _chr.txt file for each zone and that has no more luck than globally loading.

Have you set them to the correct gender for the model?

Those also may be loaded on the zone bootup. You may want to shut the zone down and try again.

#zoneshutdown qeynos2

I've done both of those things - gender as well as several zone shutdown/startups. I'm at at loss as to what could be the issue. I'm confident somebody has seen it and probably fixed it. Just hope they see this thread :)

Not sure what client you are using..but, some translators change higher than supported races to human.

I haven't looked at this..but, there could always be something somewhere that's not cooperating.

So I went back and looked at this again. Newbie mistake on my part - it was gender for the ones I had issues with. Some are still a bit weird, but the ones I was after are working!

Thanks a bunch guys :)
