I meant to report this the first time it happened, but there are so many cool things that do work that I forgot!

 

While beta-testing for Sonosuke's upcoming "Living Expenses" (which so far has done an excellent job of exploiting the greatness that is TDM), I got myself in a situation that, as I said has happened before in another FM, was quite frustrating if not for the fact that I'd quick-saved just proir... I have a shouldered body that I cannot drop. I'm not in a tight space; I can walk in to the middle of a huge space and still not drop this damnable heap of a burden! :laugh::angry:<_<:laugh:

 

Sorry if this is a known bug I gave a little search but found nothing... delete as necessary.

(for fun, try shoulder a rat corpse... :))

 

Added a bug report for the rat shouldering issue:

I already had one about not being able to drop them, which I thought was far more amusing.

When you walk around with a rat corpse over your shoulder all of the guards keep shouting at you to drop the body etc, the mental image is great.

 

LOL. Funny, but I think more reason to forbid shouldering rats and other small animals. Presumable a spawnarg can be set in their entity defs to prevent this?

Isn't there a spawnarg called "is_shoulderable" or something similar? I'm pretty sure I've seen one; it probably just wasn't added to rats.

 

edit: Yep, it's

"shoulderable" "0" //cannot be shouldered

 

I've gone ahead and added it to the animal defs.

The rats in TDM are awesome enough that they should be able to be shouldered while they are live to retrieve keys in the next room, etc haha. I think its time to introduce the Mr. Squeeks companion to the world of stealth ;)

My FM may or may not contain a rat helper already (and now you know how I found this slightly strange gem of a bug :P)

Ah thanx.

The vehicle-related scripts can actually be adopted to make a remote-controlled rat fairly easily. The hard part is getting the camera to follow the rat, never quite got that working.

I had been tinkering with the idea of doing that with some sort of observer ball item that you could creep through narrow places and spy around corners(since the normal observer orbs were a little bit on the useless side). If all else fails, mod TDM into a rat fighting deathmatch.

      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?
