Bug/CTD Reports for RS1.5a - Please read the first post before posting

This thread is a copy of a similar thread over at twcenter, I figured I'd add it here so everyone has access to a list of known bugs/ctds in RS1.5a. The thread over at twcenter is the primary bug/ctd thread, and if there are any inconsistencies between the two, the twcenter thread should be taken as correct. There is a patch being created (RS1.5b) which fixes these issues and does various other changes. There is no known release date yet for the patch so please don't ask. I'm the primary creator of the patch, and currently my computer is fried (no mobo, no psu), so any more work will be slow at best. The RS1.5b release will probably be the last patch/hotfix for RS1.5.

Do not post bugs if you have modded your version of RS in any way!!

Here's a list of known issues in RS 1.5a

Should instead be like this:

indiv_range 40

model_tri 700, 0.3f, 0.3f, 0.3f

This elephant never had a sprite before, and i didn't notice that the model settings were compensating for it. Now, with a sprite, the two settings don't work right. This will be fixed in the small fixes patch I'm working on, but for now, there's what you need to do...match the second one.
