This has been going on far enough, Ussually when I dropsave, It falls through the map, Like im cursed or something. I couldn't prove it other than my childish acts, But I would like any suggestions on how to fix this, I see people dropsave on the map all the time, And they seem succesful, But why not me? Please help.

Always make sure you're standing on even terrain (ie a brush, not a displacement) and that you are in the air while dropping your gun - bind the weapon drop command to a key to make things easier for you. If you make sure to stick to those simple steps you'll be fine.
 
bind it to a key, then jump and hit it

or just dont use guns until ts2
 
TS2 is like pretty much done, just doing the last few parts

This will make me actually want to play HL2:RP.

'Bout fuckin' time.
 
Thank you Dave and th Developers for making TS2, Dropsaving for me has been a real pain in the ass.
 
Or if you stand on a prop, like a box, then dropsave, you're safe.
 
You only need to dropsave when you spawn since when you spawn with guns you are "assinged" them rather than "picking them up" so they dont save propperly. This technique has never failed me. I can play on a server for 4 hours and crash, return and still have my rifle. But it does depend on what guns you have. The more you have, the less chance of saving them. I usually only carry one gun.
 
Dropsaving is sort of a good thing as well. It helps prevent people from gathering large, unrealistic armories due to the difficulty in holding onto a SWep for a long period.
 
I have my doubts regarding TS2 fixes this dropping-through-the-map-bug - as far as I remember, the value was just set higher - which doesn't solve the problem, it just makes it happen less often.
 
I think horsey just said sweps are now considered items. Since items never fall through the ground, weapons shouldn't either now. And when you drop a weapon, it now drops infront of you and at a nice height. It won't happen in ts2.
 
Actually both items and weapons can still be lost under the ground in TS2, at least T:RP's version. Just as Zauber said, it merely occurs more rarely.

TS7 might have something different to fix that completely however.
 
If they don't know how to fix it in TS1, I highly doubt they did it in any other script, as the fix is pretty much the same.
