Hi dude...

One question - are you using any custom weapon models or anything like that?

At a guess, "muzzle_pistols" will be the name of the muzzle flash particle effect that the game engine is trying to update,

and I expect "control point 1" is a reference to some marker point on the weapon model that tells the game where to draw

that flash.

If you are using any custom models, it's possible that a recent game update has changed the format of the weapon data

and your custom stuff would need to be updated accordingly, or removed.

If you're not using anything custom, then I'm not certain... it could be that your game data has got slightly corrupted, the

simplest fix being to re-install the game.

(If you do this, don't forget to backup your maps folder etc. ..\steam\steamapps\common\Day of Defeat Source\dod\download\)

I hope this helps.

This does help thanks ,Cutts.

So do i just re-install the model in hopes that an update has been added to the new file?

make sure you have your scripts folder inside the custom folder you made as that folder handles most of those issues as to where to put muzzle flash on customs

I don't know if you'll necessarily find an updated version... I guess it depends on the guy who made it.

It is (maybe) possible that the old file will work, but just needs to be reinstalled... although I can't be certain of that. If not you'll need to remove it.

As far as I can tell, the last DoDS update pretty much screwed all mods up.

Did restoring to default/changing your custom files fix this issue?
