FIXED : Guns not aligning to model correctly / player hands not showing on weapon in first person

[Rat Popsicle]

I have been having some issues with gmod lately.
my first issue is that whenever somebody is holding a weapon, a CSS weapon, the weapon will appear inside their torso, and not their arms.
My second issue is that a few weeks ago, my hands just dissapeared from the toolgun, and now any half-life 2 gun or toolgun, appears to be floating, with no player hands

Any idea why this is happening and does anybody have a fix?

Edit: Just go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\models\weapons

then delete all files that start with w (Example: w_crotchgun, w_shotgun, etc)
This worked for me and somebody I corresponded with on facepunch, but if it doesn't work, tell me.

I am also starting to have this problem all of a sudden.

Send me a friend request. I found a solution a long time ago.

The issue with the hl2 weapons was just the graphics settings. If you set graphics to very low, the hands on hl2 weapons dissappear

[Ryle]

I have the graphics all the way up.

What is the issue you are having?

[Rat Popsicle]

HL2 weapons or CSS weapons?

[Ryle]

CSS weapons. It's on Trouble In Terrorist Town.

Yes, the trouble I had with that was difficult to find. I was attempting to replace the world models of CSS with CSGO. Realised I cannot access the weapon files for CSGO, I then gave up and joined a server, thinking checkerguns were better than crotchguns. I spawned in and it was fixed! I thought that the weapons would at least be checkerboarded but they aren't!

Just go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\models\weapons

then delete all files that start with w (Example: w_crotchgun, w_shotgun, etc)

It would help if you posted something that actually contributed to this conversation.

I found a fix awhile ago

I removed world models (everything beginning with w_) from my C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\models\weapons

Worked with no side-effects

I don't have a Gmod folder inside of common?

[Rat Popsicle]

Reinstall Gmod, you should've gotten /common/ around GMod 13 or the Steampipe update, I can't remember which of the two (but irrelevant, reinstall gmod)

I deleted all the files you mentioned (as far as I can tell) but I've still got the same problem. Any suggestions?
