I agree! It would make things feel a lot more realistic, and dynamic in roleplay scenarios.

No, I'm sitting in a dead server, bored out of my mind. I've nothing better to do, so I figured I'd try to make some contributions to the forums, I apologize my technical writing is a bit bleak.

I think the server could greatly improve immersion by expanding the available roleplay animations. Instead of needing to create entirely new animations from scratch, it might be worth looking into pulling animation data from frameworks like Clockwork HL2RP or similar Source RP schemas that already have large animation libraries built out. A lot of these frameworks already support things like: Smoking animations. Wall leaning. Notebook writing. Radio use. Searching/patdowns. Injured idles. Sitting variations. Hand interactions. (handover/receive) Investigation poses. Since these already exist within the Source animation sets, it may just be a matter of integrating or porting the animation tables rather than creating entirely new ones. This could save development time while still expanding RP expression. Why this would help: Right now most interactions are just characters standing still during conversations. More available animations would allow players to show emotion, status, and intent through body language instead of only text. This would especially benefit: Mafia meetings. Police investigations. Business RP. Interrogations. Street interactions. This could allow Diverge to quickly expand RP immersion without major development overhead. The goal wouldn't be feature bloat, just giving players more tools to visually roleplay and make interactions feel more alive. Please give your thoughts on the matter below, your opinion is valued and appreciated. Thank you.

There's a physics bug in the alley section where the ground transitions from a slope into a flat area (the section with the manhole cover). When walking across this spot, player movement suddenly changes and it feels like you're standing on a sloped or low-friction surface even though the ground appears flat. Walking over the flat patch causes your character to slide forward/abruptly stop. You cannot immediately stop moving/sliding until you leave the area. Movement feels like you're hitting a hidden ramp or ice surface. Vehicles react like they hit an invisible object or bump. Likely cause: This looks like a collision issue rather than a visual bug. The ground mesh is probably slightly misaligned, has overlapping collision, or a bad displacement seam. The physics collision likely isn't perfectly flat even though the texture is, which causes the engine to treat it like a slope. If rebuilding isn't possible, placing a properly aligned nodraw collision brush over the problem area could smooth out the physics and prevent sliding. These can help confirm the issue: vcollide_wireframe 1 mat_wireframe 1 cl_showpos 1

Haven't had any issues with him, seems like a decent person from what I've heard.
