TDM 2.10 - COS3 rats extermination side mission - can't lift rats to drop bucket


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello again TDM crew.

I am running TDM 2.10  beta / 64 #9627 and the map is Chronicles of Skullduggery 3 (COS3) Sacricide.

When I do the rats extermination side mission, I can kill the rats, but, I cannot frob and lift the bodies up into the drop bucket.  I can frob and slide the bodies around the floor, but, they just seem to stay at floor level no matter what I do.

This is not an issue in 2.09 release.  I played both versions to verify the bug as it is easy to recreate.

To quickly recreate:
1) start the mission standing in your "delivery" box.  2)  immediately go North from spawn point into the alley to the side-job notes on the wall and read the one about the rats to gain the objective.  3)  go south back to your start point.  4)  go east in the  to the opening in the ground leading to the rats in the basement.  5)  shoot a rat with an arrow.  6)  attempt to frob and lift it to the drop bucket but the rat stays at the floor.

I could create a vid if requested.

I just saw this exact thing was noted  by the COS author Bienie here, so I guess it is already known.

 

I set the cvar
   tdm_drag_new 0
to revert the drag functionality and was able to frob and lift rats.

Lifting rats is quite essential... it adds "kick" to life.

Thanks!

Indeed, this occurred to me randomly yesterday, that CoS 3 would be a problem in the current 2.10 beta. I got it figured out differently for CoS 0 now at least! Fingers crossed that this bugfix makes the final release of 2.10.

Kind of hilarious that the rat dragging is such a thing in your missions. 😁

Yes it's kind of a running theme through the CoS missions. It was borne out of my frustration with rats in TDM, they are great for setting atmosphere but a total nuisance for the mapper. They get stuck everywhere and can block doors etc. 🤪 kill 'em all I say!

      I posted about it before, but I think the default tdm logo video looks outdated.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.
