I'm putting a ghost into my map.

 

I came across Springheel's 'ghost' thread, which showed me it was possible. Thanks for that.

 

At this point, I have a Builder Priest ghost who's fully translucent, casts no shadows, can't be killed (doh!) and for the most part ignores what happens around him. For story purposes, he won't need to worry about paths or AAS data; he just stands in one place. I'll provide some dialogue for him, so I've turned off his idle chatter, etc.

 

The last hurdle is his solidity. Even though all of his textures are marked "nonsolid", and the model is marked "solid" "0", I still can't walk through him. I can shoot arrows through him just fine, but he reacts to the blackjack and sword with a pain animation (even though I've set "pain_threshold" "1000", which means he shouldn't run his pain animation unless he gets hit with 1000+ points of damage).

 

What am I missing that would allow me to walk through him, and to make him impervious to pain?

 

Thanks.

Also, wrt to arrows, all arrows pass through him except for the fire arrow. When it hits him, he bends over in his pain animation and a splat of soot is painted in the air where his chest was when the arrow hit him. It looks a bit strange.

 

So the fire arrow can see him when every other arrow can't.

My guess is that this is a bounding box issue. There should be a way to turn them off but I don't know what it is offhand.

      Has anyone had any luck with textures from Polyhaven? Their OpenEXR normal maps seem too washed out and give incorrect shading in the engine.

      I tried to upscale the TDM logo video. First try:

      briefing_video.mp4 You can test it ingame by making a copy of the core tdm_gui.mtr and place it in your-tdm-root/materials/ , then edit line 249 of that file into the location where you placed the new briefing.mp4 file.
      What I did was I extracted all the image files, then used Upscayl to upscale the images using General photo (Real-Esrgan) upscale setting and then turn it back into a video.
      I might have to crop it a bit, the logo looks smaller on screen (or maybe it's actually better this way?). My video editor turned it into a 16:9 video, which I think overal looks better than 1:1 video of original.

      Finally got round to publishing a tutorial on baking normal maps in Blender, since most of the ones we have are inaccessible or years out of date.

      The FAQ wiki is almost a proper FAQ now. Probably need to spin-off a bunch of the "remedies" for playing older TDM versions into their own article.
