Soldier Pack quirk

Hi there.
I recently bought the Soldier pack, very cool, excellent work on the texturing, but I am experiencing a small quirk.
I cannot see the rifle in 1st person mode. 3rd person works fine, its where I expect it to be.
The wierd thing is if I load the crossbow, in 1st person it works fine, I see it as normal with Kork, but in 3rd person it is at a wierd angle, pointing upwards somewhat, and over large.
Can anyone say offhand what this might be? I'll look at it when I get the time, I'm sure its nothing big, but maybe someone knows a quick fix?
Thanks.

Hey guys, this download should be going up in the next day or so. Sorry for the delay, things were crazy hectic here w/ IGC and whatnot. :)

You should send an email to Tridinaut, there is a fix posted on their website for download, I received a link for download the same day I asked for one, you might also take a look at their website to see if there is a link there for it.

Yes, I double-checked just now and the fixed version is in fact up. So anyone who runs into this problem, just re-download. Sorry for the inconvenience to everyone who was affected.

We got another little bug, when the character is exported with max 5 (only altered the base character) one of the fingers on the left hand is sticking out. Did you export the dts in the pack with max 7 ?

and another problem, even with the new version in there are still problems with the FPS camera, with the rendermyobject turened on so you can see the player model in FPS and the m16, the hand sticks right through it! there seriously needs to be a fix to all these problems, and soon or i want my money back, you should have at least made sure it works before publishing it!

Umm this isnt a fix.... the gun appears yes but when you look up the gun disappears, thats not supposed to happen, in fps, the gun stays in view all the time not disappearing so it looks like you aim where you're firing im still very disappointed with the soldier pack...and another problem, even with the new version in there are still problems with the FPS camera, with the rendermyobject turened on so you can see the player model in FPS and the m16, the hand sticks right through it! there seriously needs to be a fix to all these problems, and soon or i want my money back, you should have at least made sure it works before publishing it!

The problem you're having with the gun disappearing is the bounding box not the model. You need to enlarge your bounding box some to fix this.
As far as your camera problem goes, do you have the more realistic first person resource installed?
