    The room is suppose to be inaccessible, I think you got up somewhere I didn't intent for players to get to:(.

    Well ...

    Spoiler

    there are these movable white bales, and I, very legitimately, using other bales to build a stack, managed to take one onto the "wall" and placed it under the window. I could then just climb in and was sad there was no secret to be found : (

    YeeY, I succeeded the 45 second challenge!!
    It's not hard at all : P
    I'm not telling how ofc : )
     

    Spoiler

    But you have to make sure you have a running start .. ^^

    Also, I like these "little" missions with extra challenges, like the quite common "secrets" (only found one so far) .. and a very rare "time challenge" only added to my enjoyment!

    All of you "april fools missions" contributors: it was a real treat!

    It seems to be ai generated if I'm not mistaking. Sometimes the people have six fingers, sometimes the eyes are strange, sometimes the text is gibberish. But if it is done well I guess it's a comfortable way to enhance your mission intros.

    Very nice little mission BTW I really enjoyed it! Loved the rat secret.

    Well, it looks very good!
    I tried generating some textures with AI, and it look quite good but the free model(s) lost the option to generate images and I'm too cheap to pay for it : P

    Looking at the rats anims there is no anim turn so I guess that is not needed for making turns when following paths? (Can rats follow paths?):

    @datiswous
    Maybe with the half size aas and size the turning on paths works better?

    @datiswous

    I've been looking at the aas and stuff again and came up with the following, that seems to be working as is should
    For the Bat: 

    	"use_aas" 	            "aas48" 		
	"size"                	"48 48 48"
	"mins"					"-24 -24 0"
	"maxs"					"24 24 48"

    For the BatSmall:
      

    	"use_aas" 	            "aas32" 		
	"size"                	"32 32 32"
	"mins"					"-16 -16 0"
	"maxs"					"16 16 32"


    I will update the download in the first post also

    I fixed that the first time around by reducing the size / mins / maxs spawnargs of the bat to fit inside the maximum bounds allowed for that aas type.

    I thought I fixed it too then, but aparently I typed aas96 wrong.
    size above 94 94 94 doesn't seem to work .. ok. But I commentend out the mins and max now and the bats are getting in the ground a bit.
    The mins and max prevent the bat from doing that so the bat needs that right?
    But does it need the size?

    If the room is small, the bat sometimes flies through walls/ceilings

    The box around the bat is bigger then the bat itself, so they don't go with their wings in the wall and not with their body in the ground when they do the dive anim. I noticed when I put them in a map too close too the wall, floor, ceiling, they go through it, like putting a builder in with their legs in the ground a bit. Maybe that is causing this in your small space?

    I think that the dmap is suposed to generate an .aas96 file for the map.

    I really don't know how that works or should unfortunately.

    Amazing work!
     

    Spoiler

    I was wandering around for hours, visiting places I had been yet, to look for things I previously did not get.
    I decided to read a book, I already had, and that looked to be the key to see the things I already could see, but didn't see yet.

    So I don't always read all the readables and and just now I found new ways, after playing on and off all day. This migt be the one of the most awsome missions I played : O

    If I would disable the Animal patrol mode, should they then correctly following the path?

    Yes, although I haven't tested the bats with paths (I haven't ever done something with paths)
    When you open the .def file of the bat there are some spawnargs commented out (with // in front): 

    	"patrol"				"1" 	
//	"wander"				"1"		// "if set to 1, visit path_* targets randomly, otherwise visit them in order."
//	"wait"					"0"     // "How long to wait before following path.  Monster will be unresponsive until this time has passed."

	"animal_patrol"			"1"
	"animal_patrol_wait"	"0" 	//New float to adjust wait time in animal_patrol mode before choosing a new destination.

    You can change the spawnargs in the .def file, and reload defs in DR, (removing the // in front wil have them be read by the game). Or you can chnge them in the entity inpector in DR.
    For following paths "animal_patrol" should be "0" and "patrol"  "1". I think "wait" should be "0" also, otherwise bats might wait too long at reached path nodes.

    Someone else reported this, but I have never been able to reproduce it.
    If you read this:

    It seems the problem I had has the same cause as Jacks problem:

    In my run  with the previous version I had almost all zombies (those outside the building and those inside the caves) standing in front of the respective cameras. Inside the building there had been at least 10 - 15 (!) of them circling around one camera. I thought this was a special challenge for the player to find some sort of explosive to blow them all away!

    It looks like an issue between different beta versions .. I guess.
