Can this be done without a script?


Recommended Posts

Was wondering about that, maybe check the oldrim forums too...seems to be a lot more info there. That being said, it's one of the things I know nothing about, so I'm afraid I won't be much help there. I think tonycubed2's fast travel ambushes uses a book for options. Maybe reach out to him, see if he can steer you in the right direction?

Hey, that's very kind of you to do, and I know a lot of modders will appreciate the help and tips. I know I will. Thank you very much, again.

 

I wish I had that kind of knowledge, as to be a game dev. I'm just an occasional tinkerer and slave to tutorials, without which I'd be sunk.

Hi thumb,

 

If you want my honest opinion never let yourself tempted in the video game development industry since many think it is a very cool job when in reality it is very far from fun believe me.

 

Everything take forever to do, art, coding, FX, Mocap etc and wages are often atrocious under very bad conditions and long hours(Lot and i mean lot of unpaid overtime), you are often force to work on a very non ergonomic work station next close to another employee who fart like a mad man all day long.(not even joking here).

 

We all fall for the freelancer life style because of the massive exploitation by big studios but after 2 or 3 contracts we understand quickly that the word Free in freelancer should be change to slavelancer, in freelance a week is compose of 8 days because you cut on your sleep hours to finish the contract before the deadline approach since on one of my last contract i was getting fined 250$ daily! (some studio will have way more heavy fine then this).

 

A good 3d artist take 5 years to become very good at his art and be capable of doing anything in a reasonable time frame and a good coder the same thing since learning all the coding intricacy of modern coding language is very complicated and required dedication since the job is very very boring.

 

Add to this the RSI problem that you will eventually get and sometime not capable of holding a mouse or a stylus for months and you get the big picture.

 

There is some success story but they are a tiny minorities and mostly studio can have any 3d artist for peanuts as long as they can say look i did the stairs in Assassin Creed!

 

You seem like a good guy so i just want you to be warned before jumping in the snake pit!

Hey Dova,

 

Thank you for the warning. That doesn't sound like very much fun at all. In fact it really sounds bad. I think I'll stick to my current pipedream, of being a professional vacation taker and lounger. :D

 

I don't know if you saw this already, or if it's what you're looking for. I don't understand any of it, but thought it might be helpful.

Sorry if i sound harsh about the industry and my goal was not to brake anyone dream but just warned people that many of us end up like me disabled and no way to get compensation for it since you always heal from a tendonitis but having many over a few years can lead to disaster. I can still work but only at my own pace without pushing it like we do in crunch time or as freelance deadline dance of death!

 

If i could go back in time i would chose to be a club Med entertainer always on the sunny beaches with beautiful ladies!

 

OK back on modding topic, by looking at a few mods i now understand how they are made but thank for the link.

Just fiddle again with the lantern model and came up with a completely new model with 3 variations and for me i definitively have a kick on D since it is more elegant and slicker than the A&B, what your opinion?
