If you are into QuakeC it only takes 4 lines of code to the zombie's qc(and I'm no coder of significance so the real coders would probably say "I'll do it in one!")

Let me know if you want the details. 

Funny really, I've just realised that you do only need one line of code. But four lines is more structured. Ho hum. 

You can do it from the Editor but the monster count is wrong. 

I�m about to start messing with quakeC for some other stuff so maybe I�ll ask later for the zombie code (or how to do it etc.)

Also got an idea for a "construct" creature made out of multiple zombies . . .

I�m not 100% sure on gibbable corpse in OUM - I haven�t played it in quite a while but I seem to remember the evil deadisms with the chainsaw 

ah go on then, can you send me your code for the zombies please - I�m doing a few different things at once but sod it, may as well learn now. My mail is louismanningatgmaildotcom

cheers. 

I'm getting your emails, but my replies are getting kicked back. Delivery failures... 

I've sent you an alternate address, please try that instead (don't reply to the email). 

I thought this was as good of a place as any to mention that I'm still alive and -- for those interested -- that the work on the Nehahra rerelease with a new episode isn't dead. Technically. I've been left to do quite a bit that I don't normally, such as item/monster placement, and this has slowed me down considerably when I actually have the time to devote to it. No matter what, I'll be releasing *something* to the community, because I don't see the point of hanging onto all this work for too much longer. I don't expect that I will be opening a new website for Nehahra, so when the time comes, I may release it quietly on a free service such as the internet archive or anyone interested in hosting the files, you're more than welcome. This won't happen too soon, but I'm not going to let this drag out another full year from this date. I will use this thread or create a new Nehahra thread for news on that when I have it.

In other news, I've kept my real identity separate from Mindcrime/JTS for a long while, but I've since spilled the beans about my connection to it, on my blog:

http://jackkincaid9.wordpress.com

Given upcoming projects, such as a SF audio drama series under the production company name SLIPGATE NINE ENTERTAINMENT, the secret would be impossible to keep, not that it's any weighty secret. I just preferred to keep things compartmentalized.

You can find my present website at http://www.jack-kincaid.com but there's nothing Quake related there, obviously. My mindcrime|planetquake.com email is still functional, though you could also use mister.mindcrime{AT}yahoo.com

It's good to see that there is still a Quake community of sorts remaining.

That's all for the moment.

Cheers. 

Though I think Nehahra is good enough as it is, it's even better to know there might be a new episode waiting to be played in (hopefully) near future. 

Now, if only Glassman came back from the dead too, or at least released the sources of his WIP Nehahra episode... 

...more pics of Scampie's kitten. 

Glad you still alive and still kicking!!!

Big hug mindy 

Thanks. 

Looking forward to the future release, and it seems you've overcome something by merging personalities, so to speak.

Good to hear from you again. 

I would like to think I am. Time will tell the tale. If nothing else, it should make things more interesting. 

Also, I just (today) stole your idea for conversing monsters. It's pretty funny :) 

That's fun stuff. Wish I could have done more with that. 

I thought of making a whole conversation system, but realised that no player would even realise what was going on unless they were notargetting and there was animation going on.

In the interests of finishing before the next millenium I made it just an extended form of idle sound system. 

"Did you hear a sound"
"No, must have been nothing..."
still cheers to all the extra features you're puttin in ijed your project will probably be the best Quake addon ever. Awesome to see you're still around Mindcrime, can't wait to see what you cook up. Nehahra the movie is still one of the most amazing thnigs I've ever seen or heard of. Creative talent through the roof. 

there's more nehahra coming? who made the maps? 

"Agragagah?"
"Muh, Bradagrugrah..." 

Weren't there some unreleased balmaps too? 

The maps were made by Bal. They're sprawling masterpieces. I'm in love with them. Item and monster placement takes that much more time because they're so massive. My schedule clears up a little bit in late March and I look forward to getting back to it.

The other thing which slowed me down was moving to Windows 7 (sans XP mode) which made a number of my utils stop working, so I've had to do some jerry-rigging and tinker around with DOS boxes (for compiling code), & etc.

Murphy's Law prevails. 

then Glassman work still�s lost in the void? 

ijed: which is why you would want a delay or a "relations" system like Nehahra where the monster doesn't get upset at the player (unless triggered), so you can time it to preference.

Re: Glassman's work-- As far as I know, if I remember right, he lost all the work on that.

Tronyn: Glad you liked the movie. I know you weren't thrilled about a lot of the AI in the game, but you may reevaluate that once the final version is released. My tastes are a little different now.
