I set the grid by hand, it's not actually rendered from 3DSMax.  Everything lines up in the real world.

AoD works on a 1m x 1m grid system where one square is either occupied (by an obstacle, including a wall or an avatar) or unoccupied.  Walls run through the center of a grid square while doorways open across a square.  This makes for very easy collision mesh construction, and I'm hoping also for easy pathfinding.  In the Pawn Shop there are 4 meters of space east/west and 2 north/south on the entrance side of the counter.  However, it might get crowded if the player had three followers with him.

ah my bad that makes a lot of sense, sounds like it'll deal with the tighter corridors nicely

It's something I had in mind at first, but I'm not convinced it will be efficient for Cyclopean.  I will want to reuse assets for residential housing and warehouse type spaces, but in those cases it might be just as efficient to tweak entire floorplans and/or swap out texture maps.

Cool, it depends on how many areas you need i guess, i don't really use the max grid to construct tilesets per se, rather as a simple way to keep the wall components standardised and easy to manipulate.

Love the newspaper and the calendar.
Little pic of familiar monster in the newspapers cracked me up
But i couldnt read any text in the newspapers...

Why is the ninth marked on the calendar? Hmm?

The phone's way too modern for 1920's.

It should look something like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:1896_telephone.jpg

An interesting link, too bad it doesn't have more pictures!  But the ones you suggested are older than what I want.  Check these out.  I think I like that first one better than the reference I used for the model.

Imagine my disappointment when I discovered the wood-framed radio wasn't mass produced until the '30s!

I'm worried about the dials. I don't think they were widely used in early 1920's, if at all. Especially in a small town, you'd hand crank the phone and ask the operator to connect you.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_102_telephone

The Model 102 telephone was Western Electric's first widely distributed telephone set to feature the transmitter and receiver in a common handset. Prior models had been of the "candlestick" type, which featured a transmitter fixed to the base, and a receiver held to the ear. The 102 was manufactured between 1927 and 1929.

Yes, not too many pictures, but an image search on google would probably turn up quite a lot.

Edit: According to the timeline, the first dial telephones were installed in 1919, and the rotary dial service started in 1927.

Nice research!  The candlestick is indeed an attractive phone and will be represented.

Google does turn up a lot of images, but many of them are not attached to specific or reliable dates.

A few pictures of the 20s telephones. Not sure if they're too late for the timescale though.

I like the two phones on top of the page.

The Candlestick phone was standard issue by the Bell System from 1900 to the mid 1920s. Since the Bell system only replaced phones when someone moved or died, some of them continued in service into the 1950s.
