Has anyone had a problem with invisible guns or guns that seem flat? All the levels supplied with the level have the same problem. There seems to be no problem with the pistols, but the shot gun only has one side, so appears completely flat, while in the holster. All other guns are invisible when in the holster but they look fine when drawn.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Those are all bugs with the LE wads. I'm not sure if the holster bug was from just the LE wads or if it was a bug in TR4.
Anyway, to fix the shotgun problem, you'll need TRWest and TR4 (or a site that hosts TR4 wads.... gimme a sec and i'll find one )
If you have the TR4 cd: Open up TRWest and in the drop down menu click file/load referance file. Switch the file type to Tomb Raider 4 level (.tr4). Now with the cd in your cd drive, go to your cd drive and go into the data folder. Load up any one of the files.

(hit the + mark next to the level name to view all the objects) Now go in the drop down menu file/open wad for editing. Select the wad you want to fix. In the left window, (the window that has the load reference file in it) select lara and her animations and click add (this gets tedious) it will ask if you want to overwrite the old with the new, click yes. (only do this if you haven't customized lara, or you'll loose all customizations)
After that's all done, save the wad.

For TR4 wads on the internet:Open up TRWest and in the drop down menu click file/load referance file. Load the wad that you downloaded. Follow the instuction that are stated in italics.

Thanks Tomb_Raider_Nut for your help.... Problem with shotgun is now fixed.

The problem with the other guns being invisible in the holster, WAS a problem with the TR4 game itself, (I re-played a couple of levels just to check) and I'd never noticed it until now!!

Just a note for anyone reading this who's trying to fix the same problem: You will have to change all the lara related objects in your wad to get it to save. But don't replace the Lara object or some of your animations will not work in your level, e.g. pulley or rope etc.
