so i was wondering would there be any problems if i were to make the player the size of a fiend or shambler?

Hello ceriux,

There was a quite similar thread at quakeone.com recently:

I think Spike´s and MH´s given answers will help you on this subject.

right but im not talking about actually scaling the player model... like for example why couldnt i make a mod based around playing as a shambler?

i once played a DM server that you played as monsters like this. i dont remember if it was a dp only mod or not though =/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCCTh0Ab_90

nvm found the mod here =)

A great number of regular maps may become unplayable (anything with lower ceiling and/or narrow tunnels like E1M3 for example). But you could implement "crouching" using the original player bound box to compensate. Otherwise I don't see any problem.

something im looking into then thanks =)

Instead of "crouch"..... "shrink"! Shrink makes you both shorter and narrower, but also slower and/or weaker.
