Wacky Origin

[Springheel]

The model lights/extinguishable/hlamp.lwo has an origin WAY outside the visible model. This wound up costing me some time as it caused a leak in my map that I couldn't track down.

 

I suspect the same thing could happen to other people, so I would like to move the model so the origin is somewhere that makes sense. Problem is, this is a popular model and it will no doubt mess up a lot of maps.

 

Another option is just creating a new version of the map (which has the added benefit of allowing me to name it properly) and we could move the existing model to a map_specific folder (so mappers could just do a text search and replace).

 

Opinions?

I would say fix it, leave the same name.

 

Make mappers suffer. Sorry, but this is the type of thing we should clean before release, and having a map specific will only add to the mess.

 

Disregard my post in your leak thread.

I agree, sure it might be a kick in the dick and balls for mappers, but in the long run we'll be glad its fixed.

I agree. And I agree with this in all fixes, even if they are pretty small. It's only post 1.0 that I think we should consider some nicer friendly fixes for such things.

Agree. There is too much sentiment about maps in progress being affected by... well, progress. Tough; deal with it. TDM is a moving target.
