So until now I've been using the default sarge combined with cg_forcemodel 1, although I was playing around with settings today and decided I wanted to force a different model instead of sarge, so I change 'model', 'headmodel', 'team_model' and 'team_headmodel' to "gargoyle/default". This works fine in 1v1 and ffa (everyone is gargoyle), however in team games everyone is still sarge. Does anyone know if this a bug in oa, or is there something else I'm missing?

It is hard-coded: cg_forcemodels + teamgame = Sarge

the code has no rationale, so your guess is as good as mine.

[perhaps because some models may lack red and blue skins]

(Oops thought you asked Why, heh)

code/cgame/cg_players.c, line 948:
Code:
    941         v = Info_ValueForKey( configstring, "model" );
    942         if ( cg_forceModel.integer ) {
    943                 // forcemodel makes everyone use a single model
    944                 // to prevent load hitches
    945                 char modelStr[MAX_QPATH];
    946                 char *skin;
    947
    948                 if( cgs.gametype >= GT_TEAM && cgs.ffa_gt!=1) {
    949                         Q_strncpyz( newInfo.modelName, DEFAULT_TEAM_MODEL, sizeof( newInfo.modelName ) );
    950                         Q_strncpyz( newInfo.skinName, "default",  sizeof( newInfo.skinName ) );
    951                 } else {
    ..... etc ......

All models in q3 have both red and blue skins, and remember, if you have force models off every player will be displayed with the model they chose, just either in the red or blue variety.

Maybe there wasn't a variety of models at the time of this change, but since it hasn't been made clear we can only keep guessing Sad

Most models have red/blue colors so hopefully this will be an option again in some later release. It's good to have variety of selectable models. After all, what's the point in introducing and modifying models when the majority of players do ctf.

Almost every OA video on youtube shows grism and no other model.  :/

I thought all the actual OA models have both red & blue skins.

I think some girl models (Dark, Rai, Tanisha) cannot have red/blue skins because they are simply reskins of an existing model (Angelyss).

Dunno to tell you the truth.  This "issue" doesn't bother me personally.

"fix"? It's not broken. This is an intended feature.

ioquake3 does usually not touch game and cgame code except for bugs and security fixes.

Actually, they have team-skins, just the teamskins cannot selectable in ingame menu because of the reskinning. The game chooses them in teamplays.
Always the blue Jenna was my favourite.
