me thinks you arent using the team arena build files, but are using the team arena code.

0-35 is quake,

0-51 is team arena.

if you use "game_ta.bat" then your building team arena and "cgame_ta.bat", otherwise use "game.bat" and "cgame.bat".  If your going to use the non team arena stuff then you want to work out side of the #ifdef MISSIONPACK stuff.

Yeah, I'm making sure that none of my stuff falls inside the #ifdef's for Team Arena and I'm compiling with the non-TA stuff. I've been careful to use non-TA code so far.

Just don't know what it is yet...I'll be looking into it more tonight. I feel bad that I took up skew's topic -- I should repost this problem if I don't solve it to a separate thread.

If your not within the team arean ifdefs then your modelindex value should be equal to the first team arena model index value since none of theirs will be compiled in.

Just to be clear on that last post, I put my item definition into the bg_misc.c list at the same position it's in in the inv.h list. So it's number 36 in the MODELINDEX listings, and in the defintions in itemlist it's not in the mission pack stuff, it's at the end of the regular game stuff. But the game still doesn't seem to be reading it in. If I move it -- for instance, I put it after the medkit definition -- the game no longer gives me an error, but instead when I do a /give fragment1, I actually get the item that's listed in itemlist BELOW my fragment1 item.

w00t! My problem is solved -- someone on the PlanetQuake forums responded to my question there and said that I did everything correctly, but the game wasn't loading the cgame for some reason. Added a couple of things to my command line and it now works. Woohoo!

I love it when somehow sv_pure gets set to 1 again so my DLLs don't get loaded and I'm stuck wondering why my code changes don't seem to be working. Then I stick printf's everywhere to see if it's really being used, which of course, it is not. It only happened a few times, I swear.

or since I do most of my work with qvm's, after packaging up a internal beta, then forgetting to removed the pk3'd qvm's out of my reaction folder and wondering why on earth the changes were not working.
