That's settled then. No need to do another set. [I didn't have ready access to my "gaming" computer, and I couldn't easily check.]I checked and there are definitely filing cabinet models in the Paranoid PK3. Not too surprisingly, the skin is called filecab.png and the models are filec02.md2 and filec03.md2. I guess there must have been a filec01 at some point too. No idea what happened to that.
I'll poke around and come up with a picture of a simple book shelf.If you have a particular size/shape of bookshelf in mind, it would help if you posted a picture of the kind of thing that you want.
As you well know, I tend to plod along when creating my maps. I'd venture to say that it's likely going to be several months before the complete set is done, and you'll get to do a test run well before it is ready for release. In other words, no urgency on any of the models.The only unknown is when I will manage to get around to it. The next week is going to be busy with getting last minute student investigations finalised and submitted to the exam board. I've got seven to review tomorrow alone.
So, if its not what you want, or you want any of it adjusted, let me know. (As I suspected, messing with the skin graphic actually took longer than making the model.)
They probably could. They would be a little fiddly to do and it would be difficult to match a flat to the top in a consistent manner. Also, some of the bits must be getting on for only 1 unit in dimensions (eg the thickness of the top and the door handles on the second one) and, again, that would be difficult to texture. The higher detailing, of course, may not suit every mod - especially if only Doom original textures were being used - but I don't suppose that will be a problem with what Rex is doing. Now that the model is done, all Rex will have to do is drop the actor on his map wherever he wants it and possibly drop a bridge actor or blocking line beside it to make sure the credenza seems to block things properly.printz wrote:Those models look like they could be made with sectors alone.
If Rex wants to set them up that way, they could be pushable. However, that is easier to achieve with models that are roughly square in plan view because ZDoom uses the underlying actor for collision and all actors are square from the top but these models are rectangular. It's not an insurmountable problem but is does make things fiddlier.printz wrote:Or are you able to push them in ZDoom, like in Doom 3?

I'm actually going to make them unpushable, much like every other piece of furniture in the mod except for the "lunch room" chairs. The thing one has to be careful with when making objects pushable, is to make sure that the player won't accidentally block him/herself by pushing the object against, say, the ony doorway. Because the "pull" function hasn't yet been incorporated (that's correct, isn't it?) you could push something against the only way out of an area and get stuck inside.printz wrote:Enjay wrote:If Rex wants to set them up that way, they could be pushable.
