L4D2 Models Suddenly just became Bones and I can't Fix

[Ray]

the l4d1 models however work fine

[Zappy]

We know. You posted about that 2 days ago here: -LINK- If we didn't know how to fix it 2 days ago, we most likely also don't know how to fix it today.

[Ray]

so am i just supposed to do nothing then?

Look for the solution somewhere else or look for the source of problem on your own somehow.

[R234]

Have you checked the console for errors?

If you don't know how to fix it, then yes...

The specific errors would be needed. Either copy-paste them here or show us a screenshot of the console.

Checksum error, just what I was expecting. That means two things; your model is installed incorrectly, and it is conflicting with another model. That usually happens when installing so-called hexes that weren't hexed correctly.

Now, as far as I know, survivors/survivor_mechanic.mdl is the correct name and filepath for Ellis. That would mean you have two Ellis models, one installed properly, the other one not, and you're attempting to use the latter.

Can you tell us the exact name and filepath of the model you're trying to use, and which mod folder it's in? You can answer that question with a screenshot of the SFM model browser with the offending model selected in the list. A screenshot of the model's location in Windows with the address bar visible could also help.

heres the filepath on windows https://imgur.com/gallery/7Kx7l9f
here it is from sfm https://imgur.com/gallery/gjRHl5o
the thing is, the models weren't always in the usermod folder so im not sure why they are there

[R234]

Oh, lone MDL files in usermod, that can indeed cause checksum errors. Try removing them from there (move them to your desktop for instance). that should fix it.
