Problems with NURBS entity

I've encountered some problem with displaying NURBS func_splinemover. Spline is moved from the origin, although in game it works fine, I mean the bird does the same route, as before the issue appeared, so the engine sees it properly.

 

on the first pic you can see that seagull and func_splinemover's origin are at the same spot, but the spline is offset. First (and last) vertex should be where the origin is.

And another aspect of this issue - when I drag vertices, they move twice as much as a mouse pointer. See pic. 2 and 3:

I don't know whether it's relevant or not but spline's origin coordinates have fraction numbers (1736.68 369.855 1056.89).

First: the spline appears offset in DR because you removed the "model" spawnarg to get rid of the black box.

 

The control points moving 2x as far as the mouse is a bug, but just a nuisance bug.

 

It's alright for the spline info vectors to use fractions. Some of mine even end up with scientific notation (E.G. 1.6543648e23. The math to calculate vectors is so lightning-fast that it's not worth the time trying to normalize or simplify the coordinates.

I don't understand what's the relation between "model" spawnarg and spline's offset...

Besides which, the FPU doesn't return values any faster if they're simpler - it takes a fixed number of cycles regardless of the values involved. :) Weird floating-point values can contribute to rounding errors in some circumstances, but in general these can be ignored unless they cause obvious issues.

My games | Public Service Announcement: TDM is not set in the Thief universe. The city in which it takes place is not the City from Thief. The player character is not called Garrett. Any person who contradicts these facts will be subjected to disapproving stares.

      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      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported.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 ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
