HELP & SUPPORT

• ** I have a error model!**

  • Make sure you put the correct path in the ems weapon file and have the required models installed.

• ** The Worldmodel off the weapon is off and does not line up with the equipped stance!**

  • Make sure your survivor model has a weapon_bone attachment , if not another attachment is used but less accurate. louis , francis , zoey and coach don't have a weapon_bone attachment so you can try to recompile the survivor model with the weapon_bone attachment or ask the original mod creator off the model.

• ** Why do i have a delay between my inputs?**

  • The weapon logic on how the weapon acts is server sided , therefor to get the best experience you would need to have a decent ping and latency between the host. The weapons function the same as the prop_minigun and prop_minigun_l4d1 as these both are server sided.

• ** I crashed or have a bug!**

  • try to restart the map or reload the mod , you can report bugs and crashes on the workshop page or discussion [Always try to provide a video or screenshot with a good description off the issue].

• ** My Settings file is in chinese [䌉獵潴坭慥潰䱮獩]!**

  • this is a persistant issue with windows 11 only for source engine ems files , use a different text editor to read the file over windows 11 it's default notepad and save the file.
