As I said before, if someone can demonstrate that having LOD AI would actually result in significant savings, I'd be willing to look into it. Everything I've seen suggests that the bottleneck with AI is thinking, not poly count.

Lemony: If the mesh is different than the previous one you posted last month, could you give me a copy in .obj format? Or maybe there is one and I missed it? (there are at least 15 different folders in the archive)

Is there a way to make an AI non-thinking? A spawnarg?

The closest to a spawnarg for this would be "neverdormant 0" which turns off thinking when not in view.

 

As I recall, the whole enterprise of creating "func_animate" decorative AI was to address this issue. Arcturus demonstrated this

in one of his threads...

It's fairly limited in its use, unfortunately. Decent for making a bunch of AI sitting at a bar or standing watching something, but they can't do more than one animation, and they're nonsolid.

The skeleton looks wonderfully detailed and quite sinister!

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

If you could put it under Simon P Heggie that'd be swell =) if someone sees the skeleton and wants more skeletons from me premium, then I'll want them to be able to find me ^^

 

EDIT: There's an fbx file in the 'scenes' folder that you should be able to open with most 3d applications. it's the best for keeping all the material information and what not. But if you like i can get you an obj tomorrow.

Just opened the file, awesome model, great textures too, very, very good work, hope you benefit from having your work displayed in TDM!

Amazing work Lemony, thank you for the time and work you've invested!

No formulae the text-books know,

Will turn the bullet from your coat,

Or ward the tulwar's downward blow

Strike hard who cares—shoot straight who can—

The odds are on the cheaper man."

Perhaps one should consider finding another modeler, or at least a suitable body model that can be adapted to the current head. Have you tried looking or posting a request at Open Game Art?

Looks as though there is a problem with the way that doom handles normal maps in mirrored uv space.

 

See how one side looks ok but the other side looks a little strange? it's especially noticeable if you check the centre of it. I might look into it in my spare time and get back to you.

Yes, I did notice that actually. I'm not sure why there's a problem there...I haven't had time to look into it yet but I know D3 frequently mirrored models to save UV space without normalmap issues, so it's not unworkable.

I had the same problem but foudn out the correct normal settings here

      I posted about it before, but I think the default tdm logo video looks outdated. For a (i.m.o.) better looking version, you can download the pk4 attached to this post and plonk it in your tdm root folder. Every mission that starts with the tdm logo then starts with the better looking one. Try for example mission COS1 Pearls and Swine.

      I finished DOOM - The Dark Ages the other day. It is a decent shooter, but not as great as its predecessors, especially because of the soundtrack.
