First Map Problems

HI

I have recently created my first map, everything seemed to be going well until i loaded the map onto my server and realized that all the hats on the players in the server wouldn't appear.

I have prop_dynamic hat models around the map and when i removed them from the map all the players could see their hats once again.

Am i doing something wrong when i'm adding the hat models?

Any help would be great.

Cheers

That sounds like it's a good idea. Quick, everyone put hat models in their maps!

I can't honestly think why they would be stopping hat models from appearing on people's heads, but to be honest, I can't think of it being a truly bad thing. it'd help optimize your map! :p

You put hats into the map, and then no one else can see the hats?

Either there was a very coincidental steam SNAFU that happened whilst you were testing your map... or...

You hit the prop_dynamic limit? Which I don't think would still be possible and not have the server crash... but that might be it. But you would've had to put a LOT of hats into the map.

I wish the game handled dynamic entity limit breaks by removing hats instead of crashing.

Its not a prop_dynamic limit issue, i have even made a very basic map and put 1 hat in the map, when i spawn my player with the same hat, the hat is invisible on my players head but i can see the hat in the map.
