It looks like there are only a few cases where it returns zero. The most common issues under your control in the client DLL would be:
Set r_entity to something other than -1 skips drawing entities No pStudioHdr->numbodyparts == 0 (probably not this if it actually works sometimes - this would indicate a bad/corrupt mdl) IClientRenderable::SetupBones() returns 0 (this is the most likely thing I'd guess) Can't lock the studiohwdata (seems really unlikely that this could cause blinking unless you're manually flushing the model cache somehow) There are a couple of other exit without draw conditions but those return 1 (like if you don't set the STUDIO_RENDER flag). So check the code in setupbones for the player. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Jorge Rodriguez > Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2007 8:33 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [hlcoders] IVModelRender::DrawModel() returning 0 > > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I'm trying > to replace the player model, but when I get it in game it > blinks a lot, and sometimes doesn't display at all.
