While working on fixing some floating weapon icons, I've created a bug that I've never had before. A weapon icon appears in the location on the HUD where it should, but a second icon for the same weapon appears in the same floating location as before.

Screenshot of what I mean:
Weapon .odf and extraweapons.hud:
Any ideas on what I did wrong?

Maybe you'll find your answer in one of these similar topics:

Thanks, I hadn't seen either of those. That should help a lot.

well first eliminate the line HUDTag = xxxxx
i remember i had the same problem and now i haven't because i haven't this line on my's weapons odfs

Hm, none of the methods in those topics worked, and neither did simply removing the HUDTag. What gets me is that this problem wasn't present in a side that was almost identical to the one I'm working with now. The only things that changed were the side name ("rep" to "rep2") and the .odf names of a few weapons. The HUDTags in the old side are the same, and the extraweapons.hud is exactly the same.

Here is a suggestion: Delete the stock rep_weap_inf_rifle.msh if it is still in your side's msh folder. Rename the rep_weap_inf_new_rifle.msh file to rep_weap_inf_rifle.msh. Fix up your .odf file to include the new msh name and get rid of the HUDTag = rep_weap_inf_new_rifle line. That should do the trick (you won't need the extraweapons.hud file unless you got other floating weapons). I also suggest cleaning before munging.

That did it, thanks. I'll need to check what happens with some of the other weapons, but I can follow that same process for them if there are any problems.
