Popular Post Sotha Posted July 4, 2010 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Every now and then people post silly screenshots they've taken from TDM. Why not start an own thread for it? Recently, I've experimented with adding props to AI's. The wiki says "Attaching things to AI is an important way to make your AI unique," and indeed really unique AI's can be created this way. It is summertime. Even the crypt's residents need to do something about that awful pallor... 9 Quote Clipper-The mapper's best friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melan Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Title: Mick Jagger on the beach? Surely not! I took this screenshot in Silencium18's Special Delivery: Quote Come the time of peril, did the ground gape, and did the dead rest unquiet 'gainst us. Our bands of iron and hammers of stone prevailed not, and some did doubt the Builder's plan. But the seals held strong, and the few did triumph, and the doubters were lain into the foundations of the new sanctum. -- Collected letters of the Smith-in-Exile, Civitas Approved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sotha Posted July 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 He seriously needs to consider sunblock. That's the green bottle he's carrying around. I do not endorse drinking too much alcoholic beverages on the on the beach as it may result in horrible burns or dehydration.

Fidcal Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Here are a few made during development... If I keep trying I must be able to rope out of this well.. Ryker in drag placeholder until we get women... The crazy lengthy discussions we had to perfect Dark Mod. This is an early idea I had to combine the two main lockpicking ideas at that time into one. I bet you guys thought we just churned out the first ideas that come into our heads! Mad King... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEGION Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 @ Sneaksie Dave: Had fun to translate your post. At thirst I read it like this: lighting up the moon as a guard who does this for the living.

lost_soul Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 I was once fooling around on the training mission in the sparring area with god mode on. One of the guards became stretched out along the X-axis. It made me ROFL. I took a screenshot to preserve the memories, but can't find it now.

Sotha Posted September 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Idiotic exploit of the week, embedded in a short story: The thief picked the lock as many times before. But suddenly he heard approaching footsteps behind the nearby door. He knew he was trapped in a room that was well lit without any places to hide. Quick thinking was needed. Quickly he grabbed the nearby bowl and... placed it between him and the only light source in the room! The guard came in, walked through the room, ate an apple and after a while of grumbling about being bored left through the way he came. The thief felt lucky and thought that big bowls should be standard thieving equipment... Quote Clipper-The mapper's best friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springheel Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 I thought we'd already fixed that exploit of being able to hide in the shadow of a carried object??

LEGION Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Link is not working, forum search can´t find it too, so, what do they want to hide from my eyes? That´s a funny feature, never got that idea. Do you want to 'fix' this because there is still light visible, or because it could break gameplay?

aidakeeley Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 I've done stuff like that before; it's usually pretty difficult with most objects... as it should be. Usually not worth the rattle & hum and the time & effort. But I imagine it's every bit as legit as stacking a pile of crates to block a light, which I also think is meant to be legit. Don't see how this can be "fixed" and don't want it "fixed" unless the AI can be improved enough to notice these things when they are particularly suspicious. Only thing is where's the margin between inconspicuous, conspicuous, suspicious, particularly suspicious... pron not pron I know what I like I know it when I see it art not art...

Yeah, the above situation is rather difficult to get done. The bowl placement is quite delicate. Remember also that the player cannot look around while holding the object there. The AI path could easily bump into the player and the player cannot see the approaching danger. Quote Clipper-The mapper's best friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidakeeley Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 So you were standing there holding the object? Well then that's different. I thought when you said you "placed" the object you had managed to set the object there. That's what I had meant by what I'd done once or twice. So... hmmmm... yeah, I'd like that situation to be recognized, for it is both ludicrous AND more easily identifiable at the meta-level where the engine should be able to discern such.

Springheel Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 About the held shadow: http://modetwo.net/d...nnoticed-shadow Yes, if he actually *placed* the bowl there then that thread applies and there's not much to be done. I thought from the description that he was "holding" it.
