Y2K3 Mod problem

[neonblack 0]

I know this probably goes in some other thread, but I'm lazy so I'm just gonna start a new thread.

Anyway, I'm having trouble using Laser's US Weapons pack with the Y2K3 mod. ( I put the the .PBO in the Y2K3 addons folder)

When ever I try to play with an addon using the weapon pack I get the "no entry model: special" error message.

Does anybody know a way around this, or how to fix it?

What addon is using it? (The one your placing)

have you tried putting a soldier (One that you know works), with this in the INIT field :

removeallweapons this; this addmagazine "LasersWeaponsMagazineClassNameThingy"; this addweapon "WeaponClassNameThingy

That error normaly means you dont have the correct weapons that the unit uses

I'm using these units, that were just released today (I think?).

And I downloaded all the weapon packs needed for the addon.

But no, I havn't tried that. I don't know the weapon names for any of the weapon packs I have. I only use the soldiers that come with the weapons (if the pack has any included).

I'm sorry for the double post, but I tried that "init field" thing, and it dosn't work either.

Could it have something to do with HYKs units? They came with either JAM or Laser's weapons and Y2K3 chose JAM i think. Dunno if that might cause a problem.  

Also what version of Y2K3 are you using?

Maybe it has something to do with them.... I don't know. I only know how to install the addons, not fix them.

But yeah Y2K3 chose the JAM weapons...

And I'm using the latest version of Y2K3.

Try posting in the Y2K3 thread, or PM Pappy Boyington

in 7.1 i used the JAM version of the HYK soldiers to cut down on both disk space and install size..

however if u had 7.0 and installed over it.. or patched it.. then those weapons may still be there.. check the folder just in case make sure theres no LSR pbo in the Y2K3\Addons folder.

and as forementioned please post this in y2k3 thread or pm me if you need a direct answer from me because i rarely venture outside addons and mods complete forum.

however if you are looking for outside help then by all means post whereever you feel you may receive the most help especialy since.. contrary to popular belief i do not have all the answers

Questions about addons/mods that have their own threads should be asked in those threads.

As you say yourself you were too lazy to post in the proper thread, so I will help you out by ensuring you don't expend any energy on the forums for the next 48 hours.
