but right now im working onsome kind of a mod [got some weapons in, and the nailgrunt [separate from solder.qc, has a nailgrunt.qc and i got it on a map along with quakeguy and the quakeguy.qc]

ugh i got to get back to engine exparaments soon again, the last time i used pheniox's interpolation tutorial it had this strange effect with the between map shots [the part that shows you the kills secrets time], it had this kind of cutting off stuf, like some parts of the level wee fine, but most of it was clipping and all the entityes [like dead stuff] wasent showing :S i dont know what i did.

Yeah, there's lots of things wrong with that code. 
It was great for it's time, and a massive step above what vanilla Q1 did, but it still needs a good thorough working over; it's over 8 years old, after all. Bugs come out in the field.
The positional interpolation should be in CL_RelinkEntities rather than in R_RotateForEntity for starters; just so much cleaner and less hacking around special situations required.
Animation interpolation is probably better calculated at load time (especially now that memory is no longer a pressure); expand the verts x3 or x4 and fill in the interpolated verts.
Muzzleflashes.
And this bug, of course...

Inquisitive minds want to know ! And if they don't -- well like that ever has stopped me before ..

Never doing a trivial_accept is enough for the bbox thing.
Anyway, I've found the code! It's actually mostly r_alias.c, but the changes in there were quite extensive, so a tutorial would just consist of "replace this line with that line" over and over again for quite a bit. I'm going to just do a QuakeTastic upload of the full r_alias.c together with a few implementation notes; if anyone's interested in dissecting the changes further they can grab their favourite diff tool and work on it with that.
OK, here we go:
