Been experimenting with Fitz .85 lately, and I've noticed what appears to be a few bugs that break certain maps. The most prime example that I've come across so far is e3m2, The Vaults of Zin. The silver key does not descend to the floor below along with the platform its on, instead it gets stuck there. This way I can just grab the key and finish the level. I also noticed monsters teleporting in strangely in the starting room.

On a few custom maps I've noticed monsters getting stuck where they shouldn't be stuck, and also more problems with teleportation.

Responses would be greatly appreciated ! 

yikes, thanks for the bug reports, I'll check these issues out.

For the monsters getting stuck, can you give specifc maps and where in the map? 

The issue with the key on e3m2 can happen when you use low host_framerate values (like 0.005) for any reason.
Did you change any variables from their standard values or are you using a mod?
For me there are no problems with e3m2 or monster teleports. 

The host_framerate issue on e3m2 also affects other engines (but not DP). It seems like model and brush entities react differently when slowed down or something.

Hard to see that in a positive light.

To reach our aspiration, we need to make changes to the [xbox live] service that are incompatible with our original Xbox v1 games

Hmmm. Yes. Not going to affect me, but a lot of people are going to be staring teary-eyed at Zwiffle's cat for consolation.

A sudden burst of motivation made me make this little tool to weed out the good multiplayer maps from my collection (to remove the crap from the site...):

How did you take all the screenshots? Not manually, I assume. 

aguirRe has a script for that. It simply uses the spawnpoints. 

it dosen't count cos after pong it splits of into another cat!!

This is a small collection of stuff that I used in a previous map but I never got around to releasing seperately before. The texture packs come with example maps, shaders and textures in TGA format.

Terrain : http://www.simonoc.com/pages/materials/tpterrain/index.htm

The terrain blending article is a rewrite of a previous article which I think may suffer from problems with layout or content. I find most people stop reading it after page 2, but I never get email feedback so not sure why. So I plan to rewrite the original article in two parts with greater emphasis on better examples and more images.

New article : http://www.simonoc.com/pages/articles/terrain2_1.htm

I would appreciate it if anyone can spare some time to read the article through and let me know what you think? better layout? easier to follow? interesting? less text? good example images? etc

Thanks 

I just remembered, I had a dream last night, I was hanging out with one of the #tf brits, I think it was Daz although it could have been Than or Cardo, anyway in this dream it turns out sock was a GIRL and Daz/whomever had been secretly dating them in a #tf romance.

Errr. That was it. 

sock as in an actual sock?

Been there.

sock as in the mapper?

Not been there. :( 

Between you and Koya Zwiffle?
