I got one of those random missions, and during it I saw a purple object where an alien was supposed to be. I know it was an alien because the object had a weapon, and I was able to kill it... See the attached picture.
I have no idea what kind of alien this was suppose to be.

The log shows those lines:
Anim_Change: No md2 model - can't set animation (stand1) (model: (null))
Anim_Change: No md2 model - can't set animation (death1) (model: (null))
Changed camera mode to first-person.
Changed camera mode to remote.
Shai ended his round
Team 1 ended round, team 7's round started!
Can't start shoot, LE not an actor
Can't shoot, LE is not an actor

Can't shoot, LE is not an actor
Anim_Change: No md2 model - can't set animation (stand1) (model: (null))
Anim_Change: No md2 model - can't set animation (walk1) (model: (null))

Once I ended my round there was some alien movement, but then there was a CTD (crash to desktop), without any crash error or message.

Attaching the log.

Trunk 10485 - I managed to finish that mission, but once again there was no alien model. Here are the console messages I got during that mission:

Notice the last few lines - "AL_CollectingAliens: Can't collect alien with no teamDescID". Does this mean the "alien" with no model is a totally new alien, or is it an existing alien "with bugs"?

I had this on the Greenville mission last night, same thing was seen. Purple diamond blobs floating around with weapons. Sorry, didn't get the log.

It is most probably Sheevar with armour (we lack models for them), see the debug info in #1769165

Real reason: teamDesc definitions are NOT assigned to aliens. no le->teamDesc at all
