Description
FancyErrors - No more model ERRORs
Github[github.com]

THIS DOES NOTHING IN SINGLEPLAYER
THIS ISN'T A MISTAKE, IT'S LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE.
STOP ASKING FOR SINGLE PLAYER VERSION

For server owners
To make it work, you should also add this addon to your server's addon collection.
Without that, FancyErrors is unable to communicate with server to request model data.

WARNING
READ THIS BEFORE REPORTING AN ISSUE
That addon won't magically fix any other errors than model existing on a server, but not on the cliient.

Description
Are you tired of your clients or friends having errors even though you thought that models were downloaded on their end? Well, feel free to install this addon and no longer have this problem!
No, this is not a :SetModel call, this is a bit more complicated.

Known Issues
Transparency on models breaking - Can't reproduce.

Who may need that?
Servers with lots of addons that add new models.
People that install tons of addons that just don't end up downloaded on other clients.
Developers and modelmakers that forget to uninstall their addons when playing with friends.
...and many more

How this works?
In short, when CLIENT doesn't have a model, it requests a model mesh from SERVER, which constructs and sends the said mesh to the CLIENT. When it has been transported, CLIENT overrides rendering of the entity to draw transported mesh instead of ERROR. For ragdolls, SERVER also starts to send regular messages about bone positions on the ragdoll. Created meshes are automatically destroyed when unused and on lua exit, making it as optimised as possible.

Special thanks
[DEPRECATED] LeySexyErrors at gmodstore - for initial inspiration.
Meetric - for help with mesh lighting

Does this work for models from games the host has mounted, but not players joining? Didn't seem to work for my friend who didn't have HL2 + Episodes installed when we went to a map using content from there.
