For me, the initial status update is less weird than the flow of comments that follow.

Weird flows of comments are the best flows of comments.

I was going to find this funny, but then I took an arrow to the knee.....

Hmmm, getting me tempted...

Nothing from me this year, all of my mapping efforts are focused on my current WIP for now.

I might try to build my first mission until then and can make it horror-based. I don't really have any obligation now (except looking for jobs) and my roommate is not here, so I'm not forced to have a social life for some time.

I tried both of those. High mass had some effect, but it still bounced a lot, and hit with the full force of a 60lb monocle. With "solid" "0" it still seems to bounce off worldspawn (and if it didn't, the monocle would disappear anyway). I think this may be the physics engine getting jittery with a small object's collisions.

Yes it's a long-standing issue. There are open trackers for arrows bouncing forever. I've never messed with the physics system, but I notice there's a "bouncyness" spawnarg that does get used by the physics system. It needs to be set between 0 and 1 or it gets ignored. Not sure whether bigger number means more or less bounce. Have you tried that?

Yes. In the end I even reduced it to 0.000000001, but I don't know to what extent it helped.

It turns out the intended way for a speed potion to work was through a call to PowerUpModifier(SPEED) in Player.cpp, but in its current state that wouldn't do anything even if scripts could access it.

I have to assume guards are going to go haywire around someone using a speed potion, since they are sensitive to movements around them.

Well, at least you can run away.

The old "gen" textures were terribly low res and rather poorly made. The update shouldn't change much other than the specific pattern used on the trim.

Cool

In other cases it may not matter much, but it's a pretty big change to the way that particular corridor looks, and I want to restore my original design. It can certainly wait five hours, though.

Good to hear.

I don't remember seeing AI use a lift in any finished mission. Do you know of some?

2 or 3 AI use the lift in siegeshop.

Potentially all of those except the robots. The system can also be used for cookery. You put items in and what comes out depends on whether you matched a 'formula' the system recognises. My first attempt used the Objectives system but couldn't handle cases where the player put in all the right ingredients for e.g. cake but added a nail and a dead rat as well. Now I have something that can check for exact matches.

Sounds awesome. You've really been coming up with some cool things, lately.

Methamphetamine operation when.

Welcome back!

What an appropriate username.
