[HL1] Viewmodels disappear/not rendered in software renderer when default_fov is not 90

[Yetoo1]

The viewmodels seem to disappear or not render when using the software renderer. This also occurs in multiplayer as well. All the weapons still fire though. A shotgun is supposed to be wielded but there is nothing instead:

I can confirm this, but only ondefault_fov values other than 90.

91*:

90*:

Sorry about the large images, the problem of their size didn't occur to me until after I posted...

Going back to the pre-Steam era, I can confirm that SW viewmodels already disappear with default_fov != 90 at least on the GOTY version of Half-Life (Exe build 2001-09-14 ‏‎14:34:40).

Half Life engine, in particular of it's software renderer, inherited logic from WinQuake, in which fov >= 90 is equal to command "r_drawviewmodel 0". https://github.com/id-Software/Quake/blob/master/WinQuake/r_main.c#L616

I wonder if this can be fixed by removing that condition in the executable.

I have the same issue with the latest version of HL25.

I still thing that R_DrawViewModel should be very relevant, I love Half-Life in its software because that's how it was intended to be played. I hate low fov and I wish that this could be fixed.
