Sotha 1908 Posted September 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I thought from the description that he was "holding" it. Correct. That's what I did. I'm holding the object there. Quote Clipper-The mapper's best friend. Link to post Share on other sites
SneaksieDave 40 Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 It's just a link to some discussion on such problems. The first post contains a link to another posting of same which contains a post which mentions the problem with holding them too, and a possible solution that's been considered in the past (making held objects cast no shadows). I don't have a link for that thread. No perfect solution has been found at this time though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LEGION 4 Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Thanks for clarifying that link, Dave. BTW, forum-search-links posted never work for me. Is that a permission-thing?

SneaksieDave 40 Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 If it's an internal thread (behind the scenes area for team members) a public forum member wouldn't be able to see it. Not sure about the bugtracker issue you're having. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fidcal 174 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Actually that's a very good action shot and would have made a great title loader. Needs processing somewhat, brightening, more contrast. Could be used in a promo perhaps. I might even make it my desktop wallpaper for a time.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sotha 1908 Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Heh.. Thanks guys. Your such a tdm geek fids... Aren't we all? We spend a lot of free time on this stuff. Still much better, constructive and rewarding than spending that same free time watching TV.. That shot was taken simply by noclip floating in the level of a card playing AI in a way that the hands show nicely. When I took the shot I (lightheartedly) wondered whether current TDM assets and scripting could be used to make a mini game of blackjack. Player could frob the game desk to start playingPlayer is immobilized on the seat, he can look around, sees cards in front of him, frobbing the chair/desk ends the game.Hands and cards could be decals that are teleported in and out.EDIT: note that this is not a feature request or anything.

demagogue 1208 Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 It would be cool, but I wouldn't immobilize him. Just make the game end when he moves from the bounding box. You'd also have to plug in some AI code for the dealer and other players to credibly play, but I bet open code for that is around if you look. Quote What do you see when you turn out the light?

lost_soul 128 Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 (edited) Double post... woops. I'm surprised someone hasn't posted a screen shot of an AI half-stuck through a bed with the caption "you're half the man you used to be". It is also fun to spawn AIs and get them to battle it out. Sometimes this works, sometimes they just stand around and don't fight. It is helpful to use the command "killmonsters" to clean up the mess though, because lots of AIs will bring frame rate way down.
