ever gonna happen?

It's totally possible using custom models and quakeC. So It really depends on the mod. I attempted to make this clientside (independant of the mod) but ran into a few roadblocks ... http://www.quakesrc.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7833
maybe i'll go back and attempt it again. Though, only really useful in multiplayer wouldnt this kinda be an advantage over clients not supporting vweap?

well can't it work like how in quakeworld only certain servers allow it?

Well, qw has a ruleset to allow or not.

If the mod has it, then its easily available to that server running the mod.
In quakeC its merely precaching the models, then calling a model based on the player's ".weapon" .

This can be done clientside in the engine yet, it takes a lil more tweaking by creating a temp entity each server frame for each player, based on the model's animation frame, since player.weapon isn't assigned to a entity. But this sux cause the run anim is shared..
