Just out of curiosity, what are you modifying with this file? I haven't finished with it yet.

[Domarius]

It had errors in it, causing warnings due to incorrect bracket placements etc. I just fixed them.

 

If you're not finished with it, why has it been commited to CVS? I've already been reprimanted for doing the same thing on previous occasions.

Files that are definitely broken should NOT be put on CVS, as it is likely that others may not even know how to fix them which takes much more time and effort to do for others.

[Springheel]

It works fine, it just isn't completed. There's a difference.

[sparhawk]

Unfinished is ok. Broken is not.

[Domarius]

It was spitting errors out to the console, even if it wasn't stopping the game. I figured since it was uploaded, there were errors someone missed. And they were pretty simple errors to fix, so I was just trying to help.

I also noticed that we have a lot of warnings. Don't know if this is because my map is to old, because we have problems. We definitely should fix this though, and limit the console outputs to the absolute minimum.

That's fine. It's probably a good practice for people to post when they make changes to files they don't usually work on, so that other people know what has been changed.

It's also good practice to make a CVS update before people start to change files, because then they can be sure to have the latest stuff, even if the author did not post such a message.

[Springheel]

Obviously. But I'd rather not have to go through and search line by line to see what has been changed.

[sparhawk]

That's what diff is for.

Made some changes to the textures to make it less demony and more monsterish.

 

Seems to be working pretty well now, though it obviously needs to be slowed down a bit, and needs a walk animation. It also sometimes seems to sink into the floor a bit from time to time, not sure why.

 

First is the original D3 monster, beside that is the TDM version.

Aiiiieeee! Get it awaaayyy.

 

(That's a vote of confidence, by the way. )

Cool.

 

I would have thought the sinking might be related to not animaiting the origin bone correctly. But if all you changed were the textures, I can't see why this would happen.
