Invisible weapon models in software if sprite doesn't exist

Post by **Marisa the Magician** » Sat Sep 14, 2019 7:11 am

Because I don't have the time to define hundreds of dummy sprites for all frames of animation I only really make ones for the first frame of spawn/ready. This causes no issues in hardware, but on software renderers, it won't draw at all and flood the console with "R_DrawPSprite: invalid sprite frame" errors.

I isolated part of my mod into this minimal example here.

Seems like renderer bails out immediately before checking if a model is being used.

While this does not address the potential bug, if you want a TEXTURES lump that defines a bunch of dummy sprites, feel free to use the following one. It defines around 600 sprites and could easily be extended with copy/paste and a quick bit of find/replace for any new names that were needed.

See, the irony here is that I was doing that before, but I stopped because it was just a hassle to generate them every time.
