Hey guys, I've created a quick little utility that searches through .level files, and removes any static_props that have no model files.
Ensure you have Python 3 installed, and simply drag+drop the .level onto the script. The cleaned level will be saved with '_modified' appended to the name.
Already tested it out on refinery, and it works like a charm!
The name "cleaner" is a bit more general than just removing invalid entities... I may later expand this utility to recognize and "clean" more errors. For now, if you've been getting that "couldn't load model "" " error, this should fix it for you.

Cheers!

Comments
Probably would be even easier to do it there. All this does is check every object for a "model" property, and if it's an empty string, delete the whole object.
I wished it was in the editor in the first place (at NS2 launch).
It would have save a loooooooooot of trouble for everyone including UWE/CDT.
Thank you, Biege bro

But I like Beige! Do I have a choice in this?
Lies. You told me to remove beige colored props in the past!
