Yeah thats true, and now that I think about it, a dungeon would seem more dungeon-ey if it were cramped and was hard to move in, what kinda dungeon keeper makes his dungeons with BIG ASS CORRIDORS 4 times the size of a normal human being.

IMO, the best way to work it is just not to think about it too much. :P Though I suppose there ought to be some scaling for relative size... so that a golem looks 2.5x as large as you.

So it's been a while since this has had any talk. Figured I could give it a little bump, although it is already in your sig... I don't think lots of people check sig links though, so...
Anyways, is there any chance that the resolution of the monsters, items, walls, etc could be improved? I'd attempt higher-resolution images myself, but I am very poor when it comes to anything artistic.

I've seen devs talking about changing tile size to 32x32 somewhere. If they (or someone) do that, it will be quite easy to use them in 3D mode too. If you draw only some 32x32 tiles, it could be harder (I think about things like having 16x16 equipment drawn on 32x32 being, etc.)

It appears that at the last update of the CVS they were very close to making that converstion:
Leader: Leader need the magnificent ancient grenade relic soon to defeat enemies.
Ivan: ah ok
Ivan: getting to it
Leader: When does ivan have big final tests btw? How many has he left?
Ivan: work done
Ivan: sent to
Ivan: ivan complete english in autumn and result a puny E, but Party man not fond of schools, only work
Ivan: spring ivan complete finnish
Ivan: high school go tho 3,5 or 4 years
Ivan: next autumn the Real and short mathetamics
Leader: Leader see. And he glad to hear, as CCCP citizen ought not to know too much too soon, it often give but funny political thoughts.
Ivan: indeed, liberal "intellectuals" twist concept of intelligence. itelligence involves shovel, hammer, sicle or firearm.
Ivan: and paint brush for social realism
Ivan: or to colour vast cccp flats with fabulous gray
Leader: Besides, Leader himself has studied very slowly lately as well, only doing about half year's work in one and half. This due to too liberal academic society which not punish from being absent. This good proof that freedom only encourages laziness! CCCP men ought to be forced to work vigorously to be happy!
Ivan: exact! liberality corrupt even most able soul!
Ivan: ivan should in near future deticate a few day worth of work for 32x32 conversion
Ivan: work begun but progress slow
Ivan: ivan just wait for suitable winds
Ivan: but Party men blow winds them selves
Ivan: ivan yet to grasp this well
Ivan: but now ivan momentarily retire to shoot "counter"-terrorists with ak47
Leader: When Ivan return to work, here be next task: Leader noticed several elite guards of Cathedral quite athletic and virile and may arouse lust in weak women. He ask Ivan next draw chestity belt for Petrus's wives, to prevent accidents.
Ivan: ah what pleasurability task!
Ivan: ivan excess in uncomfortability design for honour of sexual frustration
Leader: Excellent!
Ivan: work done
Leader: Good good. Now Petrus can sleep peacefully (eg. with guards' wives) knowing his beautiful possessions are safe from sinful temptations.
Leader: Next Ivan build some interrogation devices for obedience officers to olterra.pcx.
Leader: Ivan choose at least three machines which are easy to construct with his technical skills and efficient in the task.
Leader: Suggestions include, but are not limited to, eg. red-hot coals, brazen bull, Judas Chair, rack, iron maiden and spanish boot.
Ivan: hmm
Ivan: investagating on topic
Ivan is Tuukka, the graphics guy, and Leader is Timo. (I don't remember which person had which handle on the forums and elsewhere...)

hello, new here..
I am having no luck with 3d IVAN
sorry to be a bother, but I am eager to try it.
can you mayhaps give me the gist of how to make it work?
I have all files, but they shat on me :(
Z- 02-12-2006
You need the official IVAN version 0.5 (does not work with the unofficial CVS version yet), and replace the original files with the files from 3D patch. New ivan.exe replaces old ivan.exe, and .dat files replace files from the script directory.
Does it help?
knifemind- 02-13-2006
YES! I dont know why it wern't working before, but I just backed up my IVAN dir & copied new files ito it. Everything seems to be ok. Thank you & great job. I havnt the time to explore it now(heading off to work) but I will.
Thanks :)
