No view models

Black Mesa Archive In-game Issues (Mod)
#1

Hey there

I am missing all view models in the game. I can attack and shoot allrigt, and I see the crosshair and ammostuff, but I cannot see the gun I am holding. I have tried restarting, re-installing, rebooting. I also tried starting a new game, and use the console to give myself a crowbar, but with no luck. I checked the console, and when I gave myself the crowbar it wrote “Late precache of models/weapons/v_crowbar.mdl”, and same thing with the world model. I tried reloading my other save and look for something similar, but without luck.
It’s really sad, because the game is nowhere near as enjoyable with no guns :’(

I hope someone has a solution

Tried re-installing Source SDK 2007?

#3

Just installed today, right before playing BMS, but I’ll give it a try

#4

Does this work or is it just an idea?

#5

Re-installing Source SDK Base 2007 made no difference, tried it just now :frowning:

#6

Having the same issue here. The ‘looking at your hands’ animation played when I picked up the HEV suit, but other than that, the viewmodels are invisible for me as well.

#7

Got it. This occurs if you run out of ammo and then pick up an item (like a flare). Just find some more ammo, pick up a flare or a box or something and put it down again and your view model should return.

Once you find the crowbar it shouldn’t be a problem at all.

I’m way ahead of the crowbar. I have gotten the pistol, it didn’t show up, so I looked for the grenades, thought maybe changing weapons would help, but it didn’t. The ‘looking-at-hands’ showed for me too. It seems this is a pretty common bug :frowning:

#9

Okay guys, I saw someone say that if you pick up a flare before you pickup the crowbar, that’s when the bug occurs. I tried it, and it’s true. You can pick up all the other things, but not the flares. After you have the crowbar it’s no problem picking up flares :wink: This must be related to the mechanics that hide your weapon when you pick up something…

Oooohhhh… So now I have to restart and not touch the flares. Jeez.
