Talking about dark.gam:
In my dark.gam the vine arrow doesn't attach to wood, which I don't see why it shouldn't, so I changed
Physics->Terrain->Can Attach to include both rope
and vine, for
Materials->MatSemiSoft->MatWood.

My dark.gam doesn't have it either.

Zombies shouldn't need to breath (set Drown Damage to 0.00)
Where is "Drown Damage" specified? It isn't at Game>Damage Model as I would have expected ...

All AIs should have 'Head' as their Vision Joint.
Except for spiders. To change their vision from their buttocks (Do spiders even have buttocks? Whatever. You know where I mean.) would do a disservice to Leitha (sp?).

Emit properties on the firearr.
Ah. And what is wrong with them on the firearr?

As for barrels, if you use my new Enhancement Pack barrel models, you won't be plagued by that bug. Just remember to refloor any barrels placed when the models were not installed.
Where are these to be downloaded from?

for spiders, since otherwise they look in a random direction depending on where they are in their idle motion, usually backwards.
And you probably mean Lytha.

They are emitting heat discs. Heat discs only work in Software rendering.

I do mean Lytha. Thanks. Re. spiders, I just think that their unique vision is very much part of the gameplay and something that players have come to expect. To mess with that is like making water arrows do harm: it spoils part of the careful balance between real and unreal in the game. I
like the fact that spiders see with their butts. I can imagine them having little motion sensing hairs back there. IMHO.

Still, that bug makes ghosting stationary spiders almost very difficult.
I just said that you might as well delete them since no one can see them anyway.

Ghosting
should be difficult. IMHO.

Ah. That's the information I was missing: software rendering is invisible in game play. I did not know that. I just thought it took cpu cycles instead of gpu/vpu cycles.

Not based on random factors such as not being able to tell which way a spider is facing.

Software rendering as in using no hardware at all. Thief 2 doesn't even support software rendering.
