All players look like Grunt model

[Anthrax]

I've recently upgrading my linux dedicated server from 1.17 to 1.27g. The server runs great as I actually use the same config file from the 1.17 server.

The problem I have is that when my friends or myself join a game, our model in the game is always Grunt. Even if I look at my player setings and change my model to Razor for example, my model and everyone else's is still Grunt in the game.

If I change my model in the Player settings screen on the client, shouldn't my model change in the game? I'm not using any downloaded model, I'm using the standard ones that came with Q3 like Razor, Doom, etc...

Please help.
Thanx

check and make sure you don't have force models on in your server config. It looks like you don't as you just upgraded..but...

Delete the q3config.cfg in the ./q3a and/or the baseq3 or mod directory and restart the server. Once you have it working right make the q3config read only. Change it or delete it whenever you want to make changes. overkill yes but saves annoying funnies showing up in the config.

I verified the q3config.cfg file on the server and the force player mod line wasn't in the config at all.

I deleted the q3config and restarted the server and made the config read-only. Killed the server and restarted it but it still makes everyone the same model.

I know my client pc has force player models on but the server won't let me change my own model, period.

Turn off force player model on your client, change your model, turn it back on. http://gameadmins.com/ubb/wink.gif

When I change my client to Force Player Models OFF it works. But when I put it back to force models, everyone becomes Sarge again. My model isn't set to Sarge, its set to Razor.

Sorry if I earlier said Grunt I meant Sarge.
