Getting ID:Render error with AI...

I added two AI a guard and a thug. I made some patrol points and attached them to the thug. They are both on my team and the guard just sits there. I didn't give them a head as I'm assuming that they all have a default head. But when I run the map, the AI aren't there, and in the console there are just id:render errors with NULL exceptions for ANIM I think. Didn't save the text sorry.

 

Do the AI's that come with the demo work completely or do I have to use only certain ones?

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

Yes, they should work completely as in Den and all have default heads.

 

Try deleting the .proc, .cm. and .aas32 files that acommpany your map then dmap again. Also make sure the AI you placed definitely are on or above the surface of your ground; maybe you placed them in top view and they are below in the void? I don't think so but I'm just trying to think of possibilities.

 

Finally, if that fails, do a new map with a single room, light, player start, and one AI and see what you get. If that is OK then maybe there is some other problem with your main map.

Here is the error:

 

idRenderModelMD5::InstantiateDynamicMode

l: NULL joints on renderEntity for 'models/md5/chars/townsfolk/townsfolk_thug/townsfolk_thugmesh.md5mesh'

 

Okay just tried it in a brand new map just a small room with a door and getting the same error.

Are you sure your local thiefs_den copy is not corrupted in some way? I never saw such an error before, maybe the MD5 meshes (or the DEF files) went wrong somehow?

 

The mission ran fine without errors. Don't know, I will try playing thief's den again.

Ah, that mistake is bound to happen now and then to lots of people, but I still believe it's for the best overall to have the two separate categories.

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
