Mate where did you get that grass? Its pretty nice, it looks like each blade of grass has probably got a cut at the half section, and bent, right?

I'm glad the grass looks ok :) It's part of a set I put together for a couple maps in my game- trying to make things feel more organic, less sterile. Yes, each blade is 2 triangles bent in the middle.

Wow john, that looks fantastic.

If I may ask, how big is your game map wise?  And how far along is it?

I'm not aiming for an epic long game, but rather compact and entertainingly detailed (hopefully) story with multiple plot paths. I'm letting the game grow when I think of things worth adding. I was about 50% done, but I decided to add a rather lengthy prequel story line and I haven't gotten far on it yet. So, as it stands now, I've made about 7 maps and would guesstimate I'm about 25% done with total content.

I've recently downloaded the spells and I must say they are very nice. The main reason I'm placing a post here is cause I wanted to let you know the blood target spell is invisable when used. It looks fine in the preveiw within SoM though.

Any new info on spells going through x2mdl?

I have modeled a spell but I have no idea how to use it. I just had this strange idea of making "screwlike" water arrow.

And that reminds me, how do bow and arrow work in SOM?

Thanks for the info Scott. Looks like that spell's 'projectile' is backwards so it's invisible to the player. Does the 'blob' still show up when it hits something?

You mean enemies being able to cast spells? Last I knew, Mick said he had fixed the bug that was making cpgen break enemy spells. I haven't tried it, but I know how it should work theoretically. If you're ready to give an enemy a spell, I can do some tests or make a mini-howto.

Making a new spell just requires editing sfx.dat. You can't change the behavior of spells (seeking straight etc), but it's easy to make a new spell model.

SoM doesn't yet have a way to give the player a bow attack, but enemy 'bow attacks' are handled like spells.
