Keys in locks. Dungeon Master 2 style.

[germanny]

Okaay... so i´ve modeled my DM pack key models the wrong way - they have no underside^^
Need to fix.. :/

It is easy to define a decoration, and use any lock model for it... but you will have to load the lock model into the GMT utility and adjust the height (and depth?) manually; saving the result as a custom model for the alcove.

*Any fake lock alcove should probably return False if there is an object in it.

that.... sounds a lot harder to do than just make a few text edits. ^^;
Buuut, may be worth it in the long run.


Anyways, I added some prison aligned alcoves in the meantime so they should look fine now as well.

it's not as involved as it sounds; John Wordsworth did all the heavy lifting creating the utility.

What you need first, is to download the Grimrock Asset Pack;that will give access to the lock model.
Next install GMT and then load the lock model into it. Locks have two nodes; the root node you can ignore; select the other one and the entire model should turn red [highlighted]. It would probably suffice to just type the number 1.5 into the vertical translation field [the middle one] and click the "translate" button to commit; then save the model to your mod folder.

The asset pack also gives access to the object definitions and you can load them into any text editor and find a decoration object; then just copy/paste the entry into your mod's object.lua file. Change the path to the model file that it uses to the path to your custom model. Change the object's name to something else (but descriptive). The only non-intuitive part is that the where the model you saved from GMT ends in a .model extension, in the path you need to type it as a .fbx extension; so "mod_assets/models/my_custom_lock.model" needs to be written as "mod_assets/model/my_custom_lock.fbx" for the game to use it.

Once you save the Object.lua file to your mod's "scripts" folder, completely reload your Dungeon project, and you should see your custom decoration.

Awesome, these works great! Makes placing these locks soooo much easier. ^^

Edit:

I have noticed an issue with the vanilla locks. While they appear further inside the walls in the editor and the level you start your game in, they are NOT that far in the wall on levels that you get to later. so any prison lock alcove is now mis-aligned. =/

You need to open the lock models you plan to use, and adjust the position in the GMT utility, save them as alternate models, and define duplicate lock objects that use your adjusted models; place those on the levels instead. It will work.

Alright, I managed to edit the models to fit with the prison wallset. Should work fine now, at least it looks good in testing anyway.

Made a small update with two new pics and I also merged all files into one single zip file for easier download and usage. I also added the gate locks, although those only contain locks for iron and brass keys.

Gate lock


Normal lock

Enjoy!

They look really nice.
