ok. I put it in while the server was running and did a map change. cause unless it has to do anything with core server files the server does not need to be restarted, you just need to do a map change. then I did end up restarting the server. still nothing.
with the model. the owner and I both agreed it was sv_player.lua cause this same problem happened on another server I was helping out on. I deleted a few lines of code and bam it worked. not this server. all we know is its the game mode, not printshop
