Been there. Done that.


Why do you think I'm the way I am?

From my observations you're writing the fifth edition of the guidebook ':whistle:'  (I'm on the tenth, just so you know '<img'> ).

Ignore this. Mecheon already posted a link. '<img'>




Sorry man, but being able to scrap through the Vault and find all sorts of weird stuff is my hidden superpower '<img'>

Right... Had a few minutes to hit the Dog Travois with a further selection of big bricks.


 


Went back to the method of linking the travois itself to the Aurora base but tried a slightly different approach.


Dog Travois B now works about as well as a basic NWN Dog Travois model is going to work, I think. The sled remains solidly dragging about on the ground whilst the Dog walks and runs and in no way pulsates whilst the mutt breathes. Success! Only problem is that if you peer closely, as I think I said before about this method, you can see that the ties supposedly linking the harness on the dog to the sled are not always in contact. Which vexes me something chronic, but perhaps most people won't be so rabidly concerned - or even notice... It certainly looks fine from any distance and doesn't bounce up and down...


 


Anyway, I've thrown a squitty Hak on the Vault containing both the A and B Creature model versions, plus a non-dogged Placeable version for experimental research purposes. Haven't got time to perfect it further since I've still got to finish boxing up half of India to add to the Kali Hak before I go off to... er... India.

How you managed to get this working so well is beyond me but... well done!

The secret was simply to use a bigger brick...


...and lots of "Tasty Meaty Dog-Be-Good Dog Treats" for bribery purposes...


 


Also reread Pavlov's working papers on Canine Hypnotism.
