My sentiments:
  • If you are crafting the tiles from scratch and are able to make them good for shadows as you go along, do it.
  • If you are adapting other peoples' tiles that are initially good for shadows, keep them good.
  • Otherwise, take a hatchet to shadows and save yourself the agony.

Doors and dwk's for beginners

Most doors have a .mdl file and an accompanying .dwk file. The .mdl defines the visible geometry (possibly animated) and the .dwk file defines the "invisible" geometry. If a door is just a transition with no geometry to speak of, it doesn't need a dwk. Otherwise it probably does. The filenames have ...

<t>Sometimes (quite often in our experience) it's quicker and simpler to make a new model rather than tear your hair out trying to fix a broken one.<br/> <br/> As for 2da lines, no, that wouldn't be the reason for what you have encountered. It sounds like you have a broken or missing dwk.<br/> <br/>...

<r>I think I can answer that one.<br/> <br/> We remade all the door models in the CTP Generic Doors package, to conform to a common standard of non-broken-ness.<br/> <br/> Some of the "generic" doors in the original Gothic tileset should really have been "tileset specific" doors so we changed those ...

Let me check on that door. I know I put it there for a reason. (edit -added) You're right. It's not used. It was *supposed* to be used in the hut doorways in the tccr0_s* tiles but it's been replaced with Type=0 generic door references in the .set. That seems to have been a mistake, at least it's no...

TCP_UDoor_11 TCP_UDoor_09 are pure transitions with no geometry. They do not block movement so they do not need dwk's. Line 781 has: HutDoor*RC ctp_curtain_07 tccr0 but it's not in the set file. It's duplicated in ctp_common.hak so it is always available whether you are using ctp_genericdoors.hak o...

Well, I've looked inside PK_top and yes, there are utd's but there's nothing wrong with them that I can see. (LR does know what he is doing ;) )

Is your module very large with many templates? Are you hitting a resource limit?

I'm puzzled too.

Can you give me an example of a tileset package that causes the problem?
