  1. Can someone answer my question about the mousewheel? Is it possible to disable the mousewheel from doing anything in DarkRadiant? I've looked through the preferences, but there are no options, and keyboard shortcuts are restricted to keyboard only. It would be a huge help, because currently I'm spending about 50% of the time on undoing stupid shit caused by the mousewheel.

  2. Is there a way to prevent the mousewheel scroll from moving the camera forwards and backwards in camera view? I've installed Windows on my Mac, but the Apple Mouse is very sensitive and to make matters worse has inertial scrolling, so it's very annoying when working in DarkRadiant.

     

    Also, I'm currently on page 2 of Fidcal's A-Z guide, but I can't get the copy shader function to work (in "New Rooms: Extending the Mission"). I select a single wall, but it says: "Can't copy Shader. Please select a single face or patch." Normal copying does work, but then it doesn't place the texture on the new room. Can you help?

  3. Finished this one as well. Fantastic mission. I was expecting the Cleighmoor mansion to be easy like the City Watch station in WS2, but it was very tense a lot of the time. Storytelling was great, though I found it a bit weird that like 3 objectives were completed at the same time because they were all in the evidence room.

     

    I have a question: is there any other way to leave than going back through the sewers? That's what I did, but I looked for an easier way out first, but couldn't find one.

  4. Fantastic mission. I thought I'd done a decent amount of exploration (as part of my regular playstyle) and got at least 3/4rds of the loot. Turns out I barely got over half, so I will be revisiting this one for sure! I will echo TheUnbeholden's statement that the Watch HQ gameplay was kind of underwhelming. There are only 3-4 NPCs in the whole building, and it's quite sizable.

  5. I would be interested in thinking about and optimizing this visportal algorithm of yours, might be fun. However, I'm not sure what you mean by the letters B, G, F, etc. in your description of the Visportalling algorithm. I also wasn't able to find it with a cursory search on swift-mazes.com Can you explain?

     

    Also, clicking on http://swift-mazes.com/media/auto_visportaling_2014-10-03.gif gives a 403 forbidden error.

  6. Is that really computationally expensive?

    The problem is not checking whether the AI can see the player, I think. It's keeping track of 20 points. This can be reduced by just keeping track of one point (the players center) and then infer the location of the chosen point from that and the player status (crouched, leaning, etc.) before checking whether or not the AI can see it, but it's still an extra calculation.

  7. Sotha, the feel and goals of Assassin's Creed are completely different. In AC you're in a big city with a lot of people who are neutral towards you, and guards who are only sometimes hostile towards you, rather than no neutral factions and always hostile guards. The focus in AC is on killing and freerunning rather than sneaking. Styx certainly shares some features, but generally it's not like Assassin's Creed at all.

  8. Dishonored is fucking amazing. If you haven't played it, you really should. The pace can be a lot faster if you wish it to be, because of blink. The Daud DLCs (Knife of Dunwall and Brigmore Witches) are great as well. If you get the base game, get those as well. And probably Dunwall trial's Thief challenge would be good fun for most as well. I like Bonfires a whole lot in that DLC.

  9. Seriously ?

     

    Is that what we're calling it ?

     

    I feel so much better hitting the save button now I know some people think I'm a savescummer :(

    Oh no, people on the internet might call you out for being a dirty savescummer! Obviously that means you're a worthless human being!

     

    Fuck that noise. Play like you want to and own it. Personally I'm a fan of the "I wanna be hardcore and not savescum but then end up doing it anyway, and maybe I'll noclip too"-playstyle. And I don't give a rat's ass about what anyone thinks about that. I'm having fun and the rest can go fuck themselves.
