## Bug: Player firing animation for shotgun is missing
It exists in the player animations, but is never used.

In the console, all underscores look like whitespace. This makes choosing maps or using the auto-completion system in console rather annoying. The font needs to be closer to MS Sans Serif anyway.

It never shows up - except when you're watching another player use it on a func_wall type surface - it's that broken.
FreeHL has it. Go copy that.

They're in the decals.wad.

## Quality of Life: Mods Win32 DLL loading
Valve ships Proton. Make it so the native Linux version can load Win32 dlls. It's something we've talked about before and some people have successfully tested - it'd be interesting to pursue but kind of a pipe dream.
## Improvement: Support old backgrounds
Old mods ship with backgrounds for the original MFC version of the Half-Life menu. Check if a splash.bmp is in the current game dir depth and not one of the VGUI menu based .tga files. The video card requirements on Steam + Half-Life was raised high enough that no GPU that can only load 256px textures into video memory can run the engine anyway. Might as well store a non-power-of-two image like that in as a fallback if no VGUI menu files exist.

One example: Go into a multiplayer match, pick up the .357 Revolver. Then use the Quick-Switch key to switch between the 9mm Handgun and back to the Revolver. You'll be able to see the cut Silenced Glock for a split second. Tthe animation gets swapped before the model gets exchanged and the bodygroup swapped.
