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

Recommended Posts

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!

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
