AI size vs player size

Fidcal always said that when you crouch, it looks like you are to low. However, what me got was always the tables. They seemed to high, I could not get close and have to jump on the table to get stuff. BUt I never really looked into why this is.

 

So today I remoddeled a func_static table, and noticed the size is completely off compared to our models/darkmod/furniture/tables/table_wood_rough_small.lwo. So I fixed the size to be roughly the same, but now it looks like the table goes to my naval, instead of my upper legs as it is when I put an AI next to it. E.g. I am too small compared to the table. WTF?

 

So I did make some tests and for the first time I noticed that oddity with the eye-height (which changes apparent the size of objects in game):

 

If I am the same size as the AI (and placing a Thief character in the map shows they are the same size), then I should, if I look straight ahead, look them in the eye. Instead I look at their neck. Huh?

I am playing at 1920x1200, if that makes a difference?

      Happy Labour Day, my taffing taffers & hard working mapping friends!
      And remember the poor souls who, within the Inventors’ organization, labor under Jonus’s yoke to ensure the success of that very guild! Always remember the hard workers!

      Is there a script command to make a screenshot?
      I just though it could be interesting to be able to create a screenshot at a certain point in time. Then use that screenshot possibly in a debrief.
      I guess the second question is: Can you use a (in-game made) screenshot in a (debrief) gui?
