Stuck objects and npcs

Found another thread on this however my issue differed somewhat.

 

I've noticed in playing through these so far that there have been a few instances of stuck objects. These mostly tend to be bodies or conscious npcs. This can cause problems in maneuvering around characters and hiding bodies. Stuck really doesn't seem to describe what happens though. It's almost as if the bodies are fixed at the point in space that they end up in. I encountered a situation just now where an npc looking for the source of a sound wandered onto and stayed put on a ground hatchway in 'Business as Usual'. Knocked out the npc became immovable on the hatchway preventing it's use. I know I've had another instance like that with some other bodies but not always involving doors or hatches. The body becomes almost completely immovable after trying to adjust it's position. It can be moved by manipulating any part of the body but after a certain range of motion it freezes solid to the spot.

Does it still highlight? Can you not shoulder it with the 'use' key?

I'll try the ep later. I still have the save file so I can pop in in a second and check.

 

Gunna post another thread in a minute. Got a new and exciting error to report. Will check for similar thread first.

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

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      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported.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