  1. The Batman Arkham games have a gadget that shoots rope out opposite directions to form the tight rope. It could be a Inventor's Guild thing?
  2. What!? I thought we could always do this? Not that I ever used it.
  3. Does anyone else find that when you play in a dark room, the objectives readable is very bright?
  4. It would be nice if the game did not pass the lockpick sounds through the EFX. You can learn to accept that the guards can't hear the lockpicking, but when you hear it echoing across an entire courtyard, you are asking the player to learn an additional level of handwaving. Have you considered a non-diegetic light for these doors (see attachment)? Even at 1.3 gamma, they are extremely dark and hard to spot.
  5. When I jump on this rock, coming back from the healing pool, I cannot jump or crouch again and the rock slowly clips into me. 2.09, 64bit, Windows. FM is 1.2.
  6. Superb. My only issue is with that 'busy inn' sound effect. It's very jarring when you are looking at the scene from the inside and what you are seeing is not matching the hustle and bustle of the sound. Oh, and consider doing a short hint guide (like this). Does not have to be as detailed, but great when you need that small nudge.
  7. Googling brought me to this topic. Could we get r_swapInterval -1 in the GUI? It's seems to be working for me in 2.09
  8. Two things jumped out at me when bikerdude's Dragon's Claw was recently updated. The in-game downloader really needs to show the 'last updated' date for a mission, gives the user better confidence if they've heard there's been an update. This thing with versions seems to clash with authors. Some authors use their own scheme. Some defer to the numbers the system uses. Okay, why don't we relabel "version" in the downloader to 'release #'. Authors may provide their own custom version string if they want and that can be shown if added.
  9. Does darkmod support portals? I mean portals like the game Portal has.
  10. Played this last night. Fun little mission. None of your beta testers corrected the English? "But one must not let such a tiny fallback hinder one’s progress." fallback -> setback ? I felt like a kid in a candy store just taking all this stuff, it was a bit too easy. Maybe an alarm system that I needed to disable for some of the items on display would have made it more believable. The owner seemed to be relying on "security through obscurity" but you can only take that so far. I look forward to more missions from you!
  11. Seeing 16-bit colour in the 2.08 beta made think of the retro aesthetic some games are going for, like Gloomwood. What would Darkmod with a retro aesthetic look like? Screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/jqt2trc I used these settings (and one shot with low res for comparison, seta image_downSize "1" seta image_downSizeLimit "64" seta image_downSizeBump "1" seta image_downSizeBumpLimit "64" seta image_downSizeSpecular "1" seta image_downSizeSpecularLimit "64" seta image_filter "GL_NEAREST_MIPMAP_NEAREST" seta r_fboColorBits "16" These don't look half-bad and I wonder how much work taking this to fruition would entail? It seems the textures just need to be rescaled consistently and objects and models need to be made more low-poly. Could r_fboColorBits support 8? Maybe I got rose-tinted glasses on but I just think it would be cool
  12. Would it be feasible to set r_fboColorBits to 8?
  13. I think there's two sounds that always seem to be much louder than the rest, the pause menu music (pressing esc while in mission) and the new objective sound. Now, you may argue that they've been normalised (which I doubt) but regardless of that, dark mod is a very quite game. That means that any sudden sound is louder from a psychological point of view. You are tiptoeing quietly in a mansion, you pickup the royal sponge then you hear DUNG! DUNG! DUNNNNNG! It reminds of that time I put my volume up to hear Raoul's performance in Song Of The Caverns only to get blown away by the objective sound As for the pause menu music, I've never heard ambient music in a mission louder than it, it's always louder. I know some are going to disagree and say I'm nitpicking. But CVARs for these would be nice
