So...How ridiculous is this idea?

To get the navmesh to run on smesh stairs you can make a cuboid that fits the stairs and then slant it like this :

The navmesh runs over the brush and the AI will be able to detect it through the stairs.

Did you do this, Caradavin?

If you have the navmesh on the brush underneath then you don't need to alter the navmesh on the smesh stairs. You don't need to add any volumes either.

Beleg and I were talking about the Minimalist Project - a mod for DS that improves some of it's flaws (frob colour, loot glint etc.) and makes it a bit more like the other two games.

Well, I'm having problems with the whole cuboid thing, dangit. I tried that before, but I'm a perfectionist and I could not deal with how imperfect it was. I use the tuts, I really do; I have the tuts open while I'm editing so I can quickly go to necessary sections. Arg :p

Some people can't just read a tut and get it, some of us are kinetic learners instead of visual ones, okay? :laff:

I will keep working with this whole cuboid dealio and hope that one day I crack the code.:nono:

Minimalist? Sacriledge!:wot:

Hmm, sloped brush you say? Maybe that is what I'm doing wrong, I'm building a cube and then trying to slope it...dang me and my innovative nature! *shakes fist at the sky* If I sound like a moron, please blame my severe kidney pain and the huge amounts of Vicodin I am on. Makes this whole comprehension thing a bit difficult.................:sly:

To make the cuboid just click the cube builder brush icon, then align it with the stairs and drag the back end so it is the same length as the stairs. Then with the vertex editing tool (in the side view, or whichever window is showing the side view of the stairs) select the two end corners and raise them so that the bottom one meets the top of the stairs.

I updated the guide linked on first page to suit this zip.

Rapidshare says it will only allow 10 downloads so someone may wish to mirror it.

I've uploaded it here:

Anytime there is something that needs a host, please either pm me a link or email me a file and I will get it uploaded at the Circle ASAP. All resources for TDS FMs should be mirrored at the Circle, so please send me anything you would like me to upload.

Well, after I fix the stairs up, then all I have left is to finish an apartment interior, warehouse interior, and then the inn. I am going to have to portal the inn, though, because it might be too big to be included in the same map, I'm thinking. So that means I have 30% building left, then 20% detail, then the tweaking and AI and books - and it will be over. Where's the brick wall gif? Oh, wrong forum. So, now that I think of it, I'm only halfway there :laff:

I have to grade finals this week, post grades next week, and then I go to Buffalo, New York with my fiance to spend the Holidays with his family. When I get back, (and maybe while I'm there), I will put my nose to that grindstone and I really can't wait! (Seriously, I can't wait!!!) :cheeky:
