Interesting detail

Post by Delta2501 »

After while mucking around on DX maps in TNM I noticed something interesting; a cleaning bot appear to clean up a bloodstain I left when I was killed, i.e. it drove over it and it disappeared. Did I imagine it or has anyone else noticed this? Is it a TNM addition or in the original code? Either way it's some pretty impressive attention to detail (assuming I didn't imagine it).

It's an original Deus Ex feature. I never noticed it myself either, but DDL once told me about it because he's added even more AI behaviours to the cleaner bot in his mod. But yeah, the cleaner bot is coded to seek out and clean up any decals on the floors, it's really neat.

It even seeks the things out? Now THAT is attention to detail. The future of housekeeping appliances looks bright!

Expand?
I love DDL's weird little features; the one with the thermal heating thing with the fridge is my favourite (forgot what it was exactly; just remember that it was genius).

I'm pretty sure he's okay with me talking about it, but still - better let him explain it, if he notices the thread.

The cleaner in the goat city hotel goes into the air-shaft, if you leave it open. It's anoying cause it will block your way back...

Then blow it. A similar problem occurs in the WorldCorp airvents with the spiderbots.

Yeah that spiderbot is a pain but nobody seems to mind a loud bang coming from the vents. lol.

Not only that but they can get in the way of picking up items. There's a room in the corportate sewers with a load of spiderbots with a dead mechanic and nanokey on the ground, but you can't pick up the key if an EMP'd spider is standing on it. Having to whack them until they blow up in your face is just another factor making spider-bots so annoying. Thank goodness for EMP-weapons (the pistol makes them easy to deal with).

Meeting the brilliant A2 made me a little more sympathetic to spider-bots temporarily but the others don't get any less annoying.
