I'm impressed you got as far as you did, knowing all the intricacies in the code and scripts for dealing with lie-down sleeping.   I'll get a working version into 2.06 that won't require def-attachmen

The lay_down_slide_dist did the trick. Strangely, this should have gone onto the path_sleep node (according to the Wiki), but it only worked on the AI. Anyway, it works . Well, at least as long as the

That was an aspect I liked very much in the new thief. You have to look very carefully to make sure a guard is sleeping. It's not as obvious as one laying down somewhere.

All we need it for thier eyes to be close and to be making sleeping/snoring noises.]

 

I don't think that would look very convincing, sitting straight up with their heads looking forward. You'd at least want the head slumped down.

 

 

But can I apply this to ather AI?

 

Yes.

We have no animations for guards sleeping in chairs.

Maybe Arcturus or Sotha would be happy to provide this. Don't know how much time effort is needed for this, though, as I did not yet learned to do this.

Sitting sleeping AI would be a nice addition, would probably be used by mappers too as it opens up some new interesting possible scenarios.

Not sure about the crossed arms... I know that's how people often do it in real life, but it doesn't look very natural in that pose (it's like they're hugging themselves very tightly rather than being relaxed). I know it's hard to make that pose with our rig, so I wonder if a looser pose would be better (and easier), with the arms at the sides with the hands in their lap?

Or maybe this is a better (classic) image. Why guards shouldn't get chairs. :)

Turns out there are a lot of "guard sleeping on the job" images:

Maybe ecause it is one of the most boring jobs on earth :P

 

I agree with Springs about the pose, it should look more relaxed.

That looks more like seriously-depressed than sleeping-on-duty.

I like that a lot better. :)

 

It's only one frame.

 

Are you planning on adding a breathing cycle, like the regular sleep animation?

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?
