Details added, first set almost done (a few more details and rebaked lightmaps still outstanding) - then time for the cameras, scripts and anims.

Tonight's nonsense.

First draft of the lighting through the shutters.

Less a mod, more a series of scenes in progress.

I have a saying I'm quite fond of: "Creativity thrives within constraints", and you exemplify the principle beautifully. These screens bring me back to the Central Island/Little Italy conversation.

I've always adored your cheeseburger approach, right from my teens. The atmosphere is wonderful, and I can't wait for dive into the world of Capoletti once again!

Seriously though, MGV is the toilet of the Mafia community 

I remember you being a bit abrasive some years ago, but I thought I'd give it a chance on a new site. If you'd rather be childish and passive-aggressive, I'm okay with that. With an instant messenger, I was thinking more that quicker response time is helpful when going back-and-forth to troubleshoot. On top of that, Quarkblitz is the only online alias I know that ASM currently has, and I've been speaking with him in some form or another for more than 15 years. If you'd rather I didn't help (I'm sure someone else can), physician heal thyself

Do you have any chat/messenger apps? It would probably easier to do this via that kind of thing.

Have you tried the usual admin/compatibility options? I don't even have space for another stupid Win11 update on my laptop (I've stayed with Win10 on my PC), but I'll try DCED on there and see if I can replicate the problem.

EDIT: Which 'version' of DCED do you use - the one that installs or the standalone EXE?

That's unfortunate. Do you use 3DS Max or Blender? There (very recently) have been tools developed/posted that either do/will have some form of occluder functionality (though they're both a bit limited with exporting and also slightly buggy, at least currently).

Tools for Max
Tools for Blender

Hi there, AsaSK did say Boz Scene Tree Editor could do it, but he was referring to this part of the data:



The "Occluders Placement" section of Boz's vid below (07:51) should help you with setting up custom occluders.

Boz Scene Tree Editor should be able to help you out, you can alter occluder values with that.

I haven't been in contact with him there for a couple of years, but from what I know he's still on Discord as 'QuarkBlitz'.

Hey Hunter, good to see you again. Was ASM the modder you were thinking of? He's to thank for a large amount of modding development in the last 15+ years.
