Sprite: No Such Frame (repeat At Light Speed)

SchmeebisSchmeebis Join Date: 2003-11-30 Member: 23782Members
Sometimes if I join a server but don't finish connecting, and then join another server, I get this message:

Sprite: no such frame 3
Sprite: no such frame 1
Sprite: no such frame 2
Sprite: no such frame 1
Sprite: no such frame 2
Sprite: no such frame 3
Sprite: no such frame 1

I'm able to join another game just fine and even play the game. The only difference is that this message repeats <b>constantly</b> in my console for the duration of the rest of my game. The number following "no such frame" seems to be always between 1 and 3 (inclusive). It does seem to affect my framerate a bit. The only other side-effect is that if I go to my console, I can't see any messages or resource node information because everything scrolls off-screen immediately due to this Sprite error message spam. I'm pretty sure that I get one message per frame rendered, because that would make sense speed-wise.

Anyone else had this? Any suggestions? Thanks!

    read the steam help files, and go through each step of tweaking ns in steam.

    I should add, this is a non-Steam install of NS. I don't have Steam. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Which map is this occuring on? (all of them?)
    Which team? (only aliens?)
    Does it occur when you first join marines? (ie: when you are a 0/0 marine w/ no upgrades?)

    It seems you've deleted a required sprite. More then likely this is either some marine tech sprites or the alien hivesite sprites.
    A reinstall will fix this, as it will replace the missing sprite(s).

    I get that bug sometimes as well. But only when there's a huge explosion or something. Do you have anything added to your ns shortcut command line?

    custom/missing sprites?

    Do you have developer set to 1? That tends to generate a fair few error messages and garbage, set it to 0 if you don't need it to echo stuff like "+use toggle on" for toggle scripts or to echo r_speeds or something.

    I'll approach this more programatically and see which team, what servers, etc. I think it might be related to certain server mods that require model downloads or something. We'll see. I'll post back here when I know more.

    Thanks for all the help!
