I've been working on some RITs for AI to do....this one is activated by def_attaching a new prop quill, which triggers the following behaviour for sitting AI:

The height works for both regular desks and scribe desks, though it's a bit high for regular tables.

 

Heh Arcturus also did up a custom animation for writing for the accountant 2.

 

I could send it to you if you wanted, maybe there could be alternative ways to write that the mapper could choose

Very cool. It would be a bit better if you could have them "dip" the Quill into ink, tho. As it is, it looks quite repeating.

 

Edit: Oh, and they write way too fast. Writing on very expensive parchment or leather skin is a slow, careful task, to avoid errors and have a clean image. It's not a fast "lets scribble something with a pen" we are used to nowadays :)

In addition to Tels comment above, have you tried using the sit and rotate method to get them to sit closer the desk and more centralised on the chair...?

 

Is this in SVN atm, so I can knock up a test map to show you what I mean. Also what arg is used to define writing on a flat desk and a angled one..?

I did use the rotate method, but I didn't spend much time trying to position them precisely for the video.

There isn't one. You just def_attach the new prop quill and everything else happens automatically. I think it's on SVN already, but not the final version, which I will upload tonight.

Most TDM textures look strange in bright light. In a dark setting it should look better. :)

When you get a minute Springs, can you look at my wine bottles model on the SVN? I finially figured out how to tell how many polys its using and its insane.

 

- models/darkmod/kitchen/wine_bottles_01.ase (the worst at something like 28k)

- models/darkmod/kitchen/wine_bottles_02.ase (while your here etc)

- models/darkmod/kitchen/wine_bottles_03.ase (while your here etc)

I can't open .ase files. I did offer to do the same thing in .lwo though.

      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)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
