<div class="IPBDescription">saw it on one server</div> i was playing on this server (forget what, but the map was mineshaft) and the welder did the weirdest thing... it shot lerk spikes! really high rof, and annoying sound. and it didn't seem to do a very good job of repairing either...

so is this some kind of weird server mod, or a bug or what? i kept that welder most of the game, when i died i got another and it still did the same thing.

    ive never heard of a bug like that... its quite possible that it could be a server mod but why would you make/use a mod like that? strange indeed

    This is a bug related (I think) to an outdated version of metamod. It's not a mod.

    I believe that happens as a bug when u get the Error: invalid sprite spam thing. Weapons get mixed up and its confusing. Sometimes you get like....when you leap, you'll hear the sound for primal scream. When you acid rocket, you see an animation for bilebomb. When you devour, you'll see the wave of stomp. Weapons get mixed up and I'm not sure how this happens but its definaly a bug...How is this a Frontiersmen strategy thread is another story...

    wow is it that much of a freak thing that noone knows the answer?

    in response to #5: the other weapons were fine, just the welder was weird

    i think the server did have metamod (not sure tho)

    The weapon mixups are different each time. However, his explanation was correct. It is completely random. I think if you close half-life and reopen it the error should go away.

    I guess I should ask this. What did it look like to everyone else? Did you see damage done to alien structures/players, did other players see spikes coming out of your welder? When other people have mentioned this problem, they said that other people saw the attack working normally.
