ZM nade animations

Zero, can we please get rid of the animations. They make everyone crash. We literally lost like 20 people and wiped. Its ridiculous.

They do need to be removed. Other servers don't have this animation and there's a reason for it.

[brett friggin favre]

yup.

Changed it so that only 1 can occur at a time. This will take effect after a map change. If the issue still occurs I will remove it and keep the trails if the issue still occurs I will replace the trails with the explosion effect. I want to know what exactly is causing this b/c a particle effect should not be able to cause this sort of issue.

Apart from the whole crashing thing, the giant smoke plumes and "screen-bending" effect are pretty annoying anyway tbh. Removing or toning those down would be nice.

i thiiiiink i have had problems with smokey particle effects before. installing some skins a while back, some people started putting smoke particle effects coming out of the muzzle of the gun. it would occasionally crash the game. if they're related, that could have something to do with it. i just remember after i took the effect out of the cstrike/particles folder, it stopped crashing.

Gun particles won't work online. Source isn't updated/capable of rendering those types of graphics. Now if source was running L4D2-type-engine, then it would work. That's why gun dev's don't put particles in their releases. It crashes your game when you fire your gun.

Yea and keep in mind I am using stock particles from the engine itself so in theory it should not be possible for those to crash a clients game by themselves or players would be crashing every time the bomb goes off.

Looks like the latest change fixed it b/c we had a shit ton of these going off without issue today.

[Evil]

Yep. Thanks for the fix.
