Potato is yum

So a week ago I made a post (https://potatoisyum.com/2025/10/29/source-film-maker-sucks/) complaining about how SFM was doing a bunch of stupid crap. So now I’ve figured out a solution to the lighting bug but found out a few new issues! YAY! I LOVE THIS! Either way, I’ve finally managed to make it work properly so my CS2 edit is finally progressing.

So as you can see I finally fixed the weird ass lighting bug and now everything renders properly inside the movie export.

And finally the ragdoll isn’t just a Tpose meaning I didn’t have to rerig anything but… wait a minute. DO YOU SEE THAT FLOATING MAGAZINE? WHAT THE HELL?

Yeah that’s a floating magazine alright. IDK what to do about it because no matter what I do the floating magazine persists. And the previous rendering didn’t have this problem because for some reason it just never generated a magazine from the reload in the first place? What a mess.

In the next shot I hadn’t noticed the floating magazine and ended up leaving it there. Looking back at the export I now noticed the magazine was there before the reload animation even happened? What?

Yeah, something’s not right here. For the next shot I ended up just deleting the magazine from the entire thing and hopefully nobody watching the edit notices the random floating magazine. It’s not that noticeable but still pretty annoying.

If anyone knows why this happens and also my memory crashes, please let me know any fixes and such. I kind of need all the help I can get.
