Old discussion and screenshots thread

Well if I'm not mistaken it looks like the sheath or whatever is visible in your screen shot. I assumed that's not supposed to be there / just got attached because you haven't yet taken it out of the swing model.

One plus to using a pickup item is you can place it more naturally into the scene. Though when you pick it up it will use the Take this item? screen. With some cleverness you could use an object, and hide the item under the floor or something... then have the event hide the object once the item is taken. The only drawback there is the object is still visible behind the pickup screen (assuming you're not going with the PICTURE menu background)

Just like to ask you guys... How would you feel if i added the SoM grass (that came with the install) to my game? I know it'd look alot better if i made my own and i could, but i want to get the demo up and ready for dl as soon as possible, and it'd save me some time.

Well we're supposed to all be sharing stuff. So I'm not sure what the problem is. Though FYI I'm pretty sure there is no grass on the original Som disc. So most probably any grass models are author generated. Anyway, the only grass model I can wholly recommend is the one called 7+ I think. The rest are all garbage / not worth the performance hit (no offense to their creators)
