There appears to be 4 different zombie walk animations. 2 slow and 2 fast.

 

For which zombie? There are half a dozen different zombie characters, and they don't all use the same skeleton/joints (as far as I can remember; it's been a while).

Oh yeah, that's the one I used to make the ghoul way back when. But unfortunately, he doesn't have any usable attack animations...all his attacks include him running forward three or four steps, so with our code he wound up going in circles, as he would start his attack but then run right past you before actually swinging his arms.

 

That might be fixable but he's definitely not usable out of the box.

How recently did our code make his running attacks not work? Also, I'm puzzled how they would work in D3 even, when he's already attacked once and is close to the player when the next attack starts. Did he just air-walk against the player? Maybe there was something special in his particular script?

This was some time ago, before the recent combat system, so maybe that would have some effect.

Is there a def file currently set up that I can use for testing that?

 

Maybe there is some other difference, like the "AI pushing player away code" may have changed since vanilla D3. Maybe in D3 he wasn't able to run past you because he would just run up to you and air-walk, but now he pushes you out of the way and runs past?

I dug this out of an old mod backup. I don't think the skin exists anymore but the rest should work.

I get a CTD when I try to spawn that for some reason. Not sure why, could check in debugger later. It could be something silly like an anim frame command or a joint in the animchannel definition changed. D3 sometimes hard crashes on those without giving you any warning.

 

That being said, this one is still using the D3 scriptobject:

"scriptobject" "monster_zombie_morgue"

That could be a problem. Maybe it got switched to our script later, after this backup was made?

      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?
