STRUNK

But don't recognise a typo : P

The name is Xorak btw ^^

I tried to get it to work with no succes. I guess it's meant for the general act of pickpocketing, not for getting a specific item. I don't really see the practical use of it unless you want to make a: "Pickpocket as many ppl in 10 minutes" sort of challenge : ) Wiki says: pickpocket An inventory item must be taken from a conscious AI. Note that it doesn't matter what happens to the item after it is pickpocketed. It could be destroyed or dropped, but as long as it was originally pickpocketed, it counts. SDK Name: COMP_PICKPOCKET Number of Specificatons: 1 (Item the player must pickpocket) Applicable Specifiers: All except AI type, team and innocence Expected Arguments: int (number of items to pickpocket, 1 by default)

I don't know how that works but the key that Bob has, is an unique item so I guess this should work, where Tropy shoud be the specific key "BobsKey" and the description "Steal Bob's key". (And forget about the Completion script "DropDead, that should be empty, if you don't want to call a script on completion that is, otherwise there should be the name of the script you want to call) :

Ok, I "coppied" that from " steambot.def" and did'nt know wat the astrikses meant: There is also a some IK setup in the steambot.def: Could you shine some light on that?

I've been messing around with IK today and it worked fine for the idle animation I made but I ran into problems with the walkcycle, for I had parented the IK bones to the origin, so I unparented them and was able to make sort of a walkcycle in Blender, but when I wanted to export to MD5anim I got a warning that there are too many rootbone. So I have to look into it again .. also in the .def file, where I still have a lot to wrap my mind around anyway, for I have only some basics I found working for me: I guess this goes in the .def file or the Entity Inspector? Bookmarked the video. It's with a different 3D editor but might clarify some things. Thanx for the replies, I'm too far into this now and want to make some stuffs, like bats_2.0, after I get this to work.

I think this should be good. I still have to make a layer with control bones/armature for easy animation. Only thing I'm still wondering is if the bones that are exported to DR should have IK bones or not .. ? But I think that has no influence on the floating issue ..

I started learning some blender last week and made a little caracter and thought; why not try to get that working in TDM. With a lot of fiddling around I got a custom texture/material working, and also the character/rig/mesh and an animation. But my little square beatle keeps floating above ground somehow, and I seem to be out of options. I tried changing the origin bone in blender for the mesh and the animation and also changing the aas_rat "size" in the .def file and some other things, but it keeps floating: Is there something I can put in the .def to change offset or something else you can think about?

Bootcamp isn't as straightforward as it used to be with new ARM chip, and I guess a lot less efficiënt then the intel(based) processors. https://www.forbes.com/sites/dwightsilverman/2021/04/14/you-can-finally-run-windows-on-your-m1-based-mac-but-with-a-catch/

Can't you use bootcamp and have a dual boot system? I had a mac years ago just for 1 program and I used it as a windows laptop on the side.

The new main menu changes regarding loading and starting a mission seem very straightforward to me, only thing; I had to leftclick after the intro video (The Black Mage) to get to the difficulty menu. (Screen went black and after about ten seconds I thought; maybe left click). Could be this has to do with mission .. ? @stgatilov My FPS almost doubled in the infamous V1 " lava cave", so, for me, there is preformance gain.

@Zerg Rush I kill no humans (if it's not an objective) ... I always speak aloud, before I knock them out: "I'm very sorry, but you'll be fine", and imagine they wil wake up with only a slight headache in the morning

Oooh yeahh : P I'm gonna play it right away. Thanks Sotha, and taffy New Year to all.

@JackFarmer Very good news Jack! I tested the unofficial version 2 for FPS in the lava cave, and now I get 75+ there, where it was 5+ in the org. version

@Gadavre It might solve something

@Gadavre I don't know what is wrong. It seems we both have some outdated hardware and other players don't have significant fps drop in these lava caves. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/815315205483397142/925855134414667786/2021-12-29_20-56-07.mp4 Here a video showing the fps drop, and rise after killmonsters.

@nbohr1more Sounds like something that might be (part of) the/my pc's problem. What I don't get is why killing the elementals in the cave gives me "decent" (20+) fps, when it was 4+ before killing them, but when I "killmonsters", that are not in that location(?), fps shoots up to 60+ again?

I don't know if it's of any singnificance at all but . well .. here it is anyway : )

@duzenko Could be. My graphics card is quite good (GTX 1660) but my workstation/pc is quite old and a bit strange having 2 quadcore xeon processors (x5570). I made a simple room with 20 blue and 20 red elementals as a test, and my fps dropped to 20+. Also tested with 20 elementals total and it was still 60+ When I kill only the 5 elementals in the lava cave my fps goes from 4+ to 20+, but when I "killmonsters" (in the lave cave) my fps gets 60+

Tracy doesn't seem to run as is, and the user manual describes a setup that I don't understand unfortunately.

When I'm in the cave and "killmonsters" my fps problem is gone and Igetfps above 100 That seems to indicate, for me,that the blue elementals cause a huge problem. @Gadavre, could you try entering killmonsters in the lava cave?

r_showsmp seems to spit out FFFFFF I also see: Exceeded index frame limit (4096 kb), resizing... New byffer size: 33285 kb And: 16.0 to 24 milliseconds for asingle "R_AddSingleModel" job from list JOBLIST_RENDERED_FRONTEND on thread x I set the jobs_numThreads to 8 Using 2 or 8 threads doesn't seem to hav an effect on GPU load. Most part of the game the fps is above 60, in the lava cave it's between 4 and 12
