I took the salmon.ase from an older version of Displacement and manually added it to the fms/displace(/models/***), and now the fish shows up in game again.

I am watching a coal revival . It could be the most glaring result from this conflict EV penetration number is growing here, there are now more electric scooters than there were 5 to 7 years ago.The govt is also promoting the conversion of gasoline-powered motorcycles and cars to electric vehicles. There were significant EV incentives from 2023 to 2025 If not Tesla, there are plenty of BYDs and Hyundai Ioniqs here. Chinese EV competition is inevitable like BYD for example The problem is there are still a lot of coal power plant here. It's kinda contradict the green part. Many geothermal, wind, and hydroelectric power plants are being built in other areas Sad for the toyota or honda they're too late to join the game and quite conservative about EV What I’m worried about is whether there will be a “Suez Crisis 2.0” in the future if Iran opens a new front in the surrounding area

IMO NPCs in Thief have personality no other game ever tried to replicate. Mostly thanks to the fantastic voice acting but animation is important no less. A game can have primitive AI but very good animation and NPCs won't look too dumb thanks that, or a game can have terrible animation and very smart AI and it creates the uncanny valley.

I am looking at the version 6 archive and it seems like the model is still there. It is also displaying correctly in game. Are you seeing a black cube or is it just missing?

I recently learned that they actually used motion capturing for the animations in the original Thiefs. Didn't know that that already was a thing back then. I agree with @I.C.H.I. that there was real character about the NPCs in the original Thiefs. A lot of what made the games great was about atmosphere, and how coherent everything worked together. Not to forget the absolutely insanely good lore, of course, which still baffles me after decades of playing the games. Game developers just knew their stuff back then. A lot of talent involved in these games. I know that it's hard to do, but, one thing I find TDM pretty rudimentary compared to the original Thiefs is the voice acting, and the voice lines. Don't want to step on anyone's foot, but, those are much better in the original Thiefs.

not as such. but if a game starts to use things that only works with nvidias drivers then yeah it becomes a problem. AMD does in fact not have an issue when they follow the specs the issue lies with those who abuse the spec. hmm amd rewrote the opengl driver way back in 22 https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/amd-significantly-improves-opengl-performance-in-windows-with-upcoming-22h2-driver.295864/ not sure about threading but i would wonder a lot if as part of the rewrite they did not look at that to. as a dane im all aboard on getting us the hell away from reliance on american software monopolies.

@SystemFailure If you just want to get your character into the game, quickest way is to use automatic weights. First select the mesh, then the Darkmod skeleton in t-pose and ctrl+p > Armature Deform With Automatic Weights. I made some changes to the Blender rig that I haven't published yet. I was thinking about making a tutorial on how to animate with it.

For the people eager to play with the latest state of development, two things are provided: regular dev builds source code SVN repository Development builds are created once per a few weeks from the current trunk. They can be obtained via tdm_installer. Just run the installer, check "Get Custom Version" on the first page, then select proper version in "dev" folder on the second page. Name of any dev version looks like devXXXXX-YYYY, where XXXXX and YYYY are SVN revision numbers from which the build was created. The topmost version in the list is usually the most recent one. Note: unless otherwise specified, savegames are incompatible between any two versions of TDM! Programmers can obtain source code from SVN repository. Trunk can be checked out from here: https://svn.thedarkmod.com/publicsvn/darkmod_src/trunk/ SVN root is: https://svn.thedarkmod.com/publicsvn/darkmod_src Build instructions are provided inside repository. Note that while you can build executable from the SVN repository, TDM installation of compatible version is required to run it. Official TDM releases are compatible with source code archives provided on the website, and also with corresponding release tags in SVN. A dev build is compatible with SVN trunk of revision YYYY, where YYYY is the second number in its version (as described above). If you only want to experiment with the latest trunk, using the latest dev build gives you the maximum chance of success. P.S. Needless to say, all of this comes with no support. Although we would be glad if you catch and report bugs before the next beta phase starts

This has been a recurring issue for me over the past year or so and I'm finally fed up enough with it to make a forum post about it. I've not been able to find anything else with either a forum or discord search, so I'm hoping I can get some troubleshooting assistance here. Sometimes, on larger maps with lots of custom assets and/or scripting, when I'm attempting to load a save file the game just... hangs. At like 1% loaded, in the loading screen. This happens to me a lot with Seeking Lady Leicester, but also has started happening to my most recent playthrough of The Lieutenant 2. Some relevant notes: - I am on the latest beta branch, but this has been happening to me since at least 2.13, so I don't think its a beta-specific bug. - I'm on Windows 10. - Starting a fresh run of the map does not ever reproduce this problem (I can reliably fresh-load a map even when I can't save-load it), and it doesn't happen until I close the game and reopen it (so, if I start a new mission and play a bit, I can reliably load save files if I get caught or whatever. Its not until I save after a long gaming session and try to pick up where I left off later that I occasionally hit this bug). - Usually I get around this issue with a complete reinstall of TDM? But my most recent reinstall didn't do it for my playthrough of Lieutenant 2. - Once this happens to me, there's no way for me to close the game or go back to the main menu. I have to alt+F4 or Task Manager kill TDM. - When I'm loading a save or a new map and things are working correctly, I am unable to open the dev console during the load. However, when I get stuck in this bad state, the dev console is openable. I've attached a screenshot of the contents of the dev console just in case its illuminating, although there are no scary looking errors or warning text that I can see. If we want me to try any commands when I get into this state I'd be happy to poke around. Let me know if this explanation makes sense, or if there's anything I should try or any debug info I should poke around the game's folder for.

Hey I just wanted to create a Thread where everybody can post his improvement wishes. I Personally love this mod. There are so many features in it, and because it is a mod created by a community, why not write what could be improved. My wishes are: Some special weapons. I loved T2X and the variety of weapons. Some really hard to find special weapons, like the confusion arrow or a special bomb would be cool. But they have to be very special, for example as a result of a side quest - or maybe a usable torch for easier killing the undead More enemies, I think there will be an improvement, we just got spiders and zombies, but a higher variety is always good. More (custom) conversation. Thats one of the main parts I'm missing - so much flair and atmosphere is getting lost without them. Also some comments from he main charakter would be nice. For example when a guard gets knocked out "hah, now who's the taffer" ... better AI when the hear a voice. They start looking for you, but most of the time I just sneak into another room or a higher area and just have to wait, they should at least get someone with a torch or call other guards for help These are only small parts of the game which could be improved and are only my points of view, maybe it's either not possible to create or it fits not in the design of TDM.

you can get the survive performance if you look into the qualizar bar, the performer singing it even looks like bowie , he also plays the role of a virtual omikronian whose soul got trapped in what goes as they're internet. you also get to bonk his wife iman . the controls are rather annoying unfortunatly with 3 control schemes and only one uses the mouse (shooting mode) which is not even used that often. the camera can be a bit wonky as well. the amiga port runs pretty well though and i suspect the problem was that the game was actually ported from amiga to pc and while the control scheme worked fine with a controller it kinda got messed up with mouse and keyboard. the story is kinda out there (like really really out there) but its a fun game with magic and fight sequences like street fighter mixed with a little gun fu. magic unfortunatly is only really harmfull to demons and basically worthless against anything else. the guns are powerfull as hell but chew through ammo like a fat boy in a candy store except for the waver gun (first one you get) which is plenty powerfull for most things. strangely the fist fights are probably the most deadly in the game. with high enough skill in it you can literally rip even demons to pieces. the only thing it cannot handle are security robots for which you need one of the big guns. there are also a lot of puzzle solving so it is a long game.

Even though I use the latest Windows but if you drop the older OS support it will cut off the people who may play TDM on a very old hardware which doesn't support the newer Windows. TBH this game is not in a position of neglecting their user base like that because I don't see the popularity ever growing. Literally nobody talks about The Dark Mod outside of this forum, even streamers almost never play it unlike games in Thief series. Another reason why I don't see the necessity in this is because TDM doesn't use DirectX 12, so what is the point of doing that?

I'm trying to install the game via the installer, but the download always times out and thus stops.

Thanks man! I really want to see him in game haha! It'd be pretty disappointing if all I could do was model him out for nothing.

The Dark Mod 2.14 has been released! The Dark Mod 2.14 Stability Release A major focus for The Dark Mod 2.14 development cycle was fixing lingering issues seen with some of the larger 2.13 changes and to complete work started in 2.13. The new AI visibility feature in 2.13 was found to have a few issues with performance and object awareness that were not seen in 2.13 beta testing so many players reverted settings to the 2.12 mode. Now the feature is working better than ever with improved performance! A few longstanding major bugs were finally solved! Item Inventory icons no longer randomly show as stacked on top of each other in the HUD Frequent saving on large missions no longer results in AI getting stuck in walls or obstructions. The entity “suicide” script meant to cleanup unused objects has been fixed or removed from AI and Weapon animation cycles where it was causing random crashes. Tone-mapping is now only applied to the 3D engine so the menus remain legible regardless of what extremity the user configures in the game. ( We had this fix in 2.08 but it was reverted due to other bugs \ issues that it caused. Welcome back! ) Non-Elite AI can be knocked out after a flashbomb blinds them! The LOD menu has been given a new FULL option which disables all distance optimizations including ones not controlled by the LOD system. This is a pretty punishing setting on some missions but is offered for players who want a no compromises visual option if they have the hardware. It also serves as a debug option for visual anomalies are not LOD related and it fixes the brief portalsky bug when exiting underwater while swimming Guard transition animations have been improved! A new “Old Man” AI has been added! Menu GUI’s can now render a snapshot of the last in-game 3D screen. This is used to great effect in the new mission “Displacement” More Dhewm3 code has been ported into TDM and the Dhewm3 project maintainer has been actively involved in TDM development. Of note (other than some code stability changes), MD3 and MD5 animations fixes and improvements have been incorporated. Projected Decals are now light interactive! Footprints, blood splats, projectile holes, all can have normalmaps and lighting interactions! You can now enable SSAO in subviews such as mirrors / camera views so they will look more accurate. ( r_ssao_insubview ) Geep has been hard at work contributing Font fixes to improve multi-lingual support! A very large amount of assets have been added, including many new POM enabled textures! * OPTIMIZATIONS Further optimization to the parallel model rendering code have been introduced. Now the operations broken into chunks and load-balanced better. More demanding missions like “Scroll of Remembrance” should run better for most players now. Mirror and Remote Render surfaces can now have lower resolution rendering ( this optimization was broken some time after 2.05 ) Portal distance closure now follows the LOD menu distance settings * * A detailed list of changes can be seen here: https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=What%27s_new_in_TDM_2.14 To UPDATE, simply run the tdm_installer.exe file in your darkmod folder. Note that tdm_update.exe is no longer supported, but you can download the new installer from the Downloads page if you don’t have it yet. Please be aware that old saved games will not be compatible with 2.14, so finish any missions you might be in the middle of first! Also, some missions created prior to 2.14 may need to be updated so they will be playable in 2.14. Before upgrading, set TDM to use one of the built-in missions ( Training Mission, A New Job, Tears of St Lucia ) then use the in-game mission downloader to check for updates

There are two ways to override cvars in a mission: mission.cfg file can set non-archived cvars (starting with 2.12). sys.setcvar in game script can override cvars (starting with 2.13 / dev17044-10746). Of course, there has never been any effort to classify cvars into public and private, no thinking of backwards compatibility of relying on cvars, etc. So overriding cvars should be considered a last resort feature. mission.cfg allows to statically override cvars on FM level. The change takes effect during all missions in a campaign and all briefings/debriefings/menus. However, you cannot adjust cvar value during gameplay, so only one constant literal value can be set. The implementation is simple: mission.cfg file is executed from your mission when TDM engine starts all non-archived cvars are reset to their defaults when TDM engine restarts (due to FM change) sys.setcvar allows to override cvars on gameplay level. These overrides behave like the variables in game scripts, i.e. they are saved/restored to savefile and reset on game start/end. You can adjust the same cvar several times with different values, and savefile will capture the override that is currently active. The minor downside is that these overrides automatically don't carry over between missions in campaign, and they cannot work in briefings/debriefings/menus. Note that sys.setcvar has been available for a long time already, but previously it had different meaning. Previously it set the cvar as if the player set it himself. So the values stuck between restarts, missions, FMs (even saved to darkmod.cfg for archived cvar). Now it always sets the "mission override" for cvar. You can test cvar mission overrides manually using two new console commands: setm {cvarname} {newvalue} --- set mission override for the cvar with given value unsetm {cvarname} --- drop mission override for the cvar It is not perfectly obvious what should happen if mission-overridden cvar is changed by user. Right now the main value of cvar is changed and mission override is broken/erased in this case. So be wary that user can mess with your overrides just like you can mess with his cvars.

Found it: ...though, the live action video with the real DB is much better, of course. The guitar player (also depicted in the game) is Reeves Gabrels. He worked with DB from 1988 to 1999. Reeves Gabrels (my fav guitar player of that time period) worked on the soundtrack of the very first Deus Ex game. However, I used to switch the music off (same true for SS2) as IMO it really does not add to the game`s atmosphere.

Intel suggests it was snubbed by Crimson Desert dev after reaching out "many times" about Arc GPUs – company says it provided "early hardware, drivers, and engineering resources" to studio | Tom's Hardware i never really thought GPU incompatibility ( or discrimination?) would come back it feels like matrox mystique simple interface vs S3 Graphics S3D vs MiniGL vs direct3d vs 3dfx GLIDE API vs OpenGL all over again This time, the game developer didn't give a specific reason and hang intel up to dry

The TDM Unofficial Patch is a personal project of mine to modify some small details that annoyed me in the core game. It wouldn't be possible without many others, so thanks to the whole TDM community for discussions and help, but especially to friendly modders who directly contributed code for it, like Obsttorte, Dragofer, Kingsal, Goldwell, Destined, and snatcher! You can find it under the link below and while over the years there was little progress, in recent times many things have been improved that I never even thought of when I started and some might be worth to be included in the core game. https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-dark-mod/addons/the-dark-mod-unofficial-patch Version Changelog: ------------------ v1.7 20.08.2022 ---- Made loot icon change right back to last tool icon, thanks snatcher.

Added default keys info to training mission and repaired cut lines. v1.1 03.02.2019 ---- Moveable candles can be extinguished directly by frobing the candle. More blackjack immune enemies and inextinguishable candles modified. The key frob distance has been decreased to be that of lockpicking. Holy Water bottles must be thrown directly, but they do more damage. The controls settings menu additions have been updated for TDM 2.07. New mission names have been fixed to fix format and spacing issues. Added looking up and looking down controls for people without mouse. Pointed bad prefabs container open/close sounds to existing effects. Added version info to starting screen and edited some new missions. v1.0 06.05.2018 ---- Many enemies will not become immune to blackjacking when alerted. Oil lamps can be snuffed by frobing, thanks Destined and Obsttorte. The controls settings menu lists that "use" can work on held items. Mission names were syncronized between download and online lists. The controls settings menu lists that "frob" can get or drop items. Astericks were added to official missions to move them to list top. Minor text and format bugs have been fixed in some mission infos.

I am attempting to enable native support for an 8BitDo Ultimate 2C controller in The Dark Mod 2.14 on Arch Linux. While the controller functions perfectly through Proton/Wine, the native Linux binary (which uses GLFW) fails to recognize it as a Gamepad, and my diagnostics via the official GLFW joystick utility confirm that the device is detected as a raw joystick but lacks a valid gamepad mapping. However, the SDL_GameControllerDB does have the mappings. So, I patched and compiled glfw to the latest db. Then, I built TDM from the github repo, with the prebuilt 3rdparty artifacts, but replacing the libglfw3.a file with the cone I compiled. The game runs, and I verified that the mappings do exist in the new tdm binary (using `strings`), but the gamepad still does not work. I am using the default DarkmodPadbinds.cfg unbindPad bindPadButton MODIFIER PAD_L2 bindPadButton PRESS PAD_A "_jump" bindPadButton PRESS PAD_B "_crouch" bindPadButton LONG_PRESS PAD_B "_mantle" bindPadButton PRESS PAD_X "_attack" bindPadButton PRESS PAD_Y "_inventory_use" bindPadButton LONG_PRESS PAD_Y "_inventory_grid" bindPadButton PRESS PAD_L1 "_lean_left" bindPadButton PRESS PAD_R1 "_lean_right" bindPadButton MOD_PRESS PAD_R1 "_parry" bindPadButton PRESS PAD_R2 "_frob" bindPadButton MOD_PRESS PAD_R2 "_attack" bindPadButton PRESS PAD_L3 "_speed" bindPadButton LONG_PRESS PAD_R3 "inventory_use '#str_02396'" bindPadButton MOD_LONG_PRESS PAD_R3 "inventory_use '#str_02395'" bindPadButton PRESS PAD_BACK "_objectives" bindPadButton LONG_PRESS PAD_BACK "savegame quick" bindPadButton PRESS PAD_START "escape" bindPadButton PRESS PAD_LEFT "inventory_cycle_group '#str_02392'" bindPadButton MOD_PRESS PAD_LEFT "_weapon1" bindPadButton MOD_LONG_PRESS PAD_LEFT "_weapon2" bindPadButton PRESS PAD_RIGHT "inventory_cycle_group '#str_02389'" bindPadButton MOD_PRESS PAD_RIGHT "_weapon3" bindPadButton MOD_LONG_PRESS PAD_RIGHT "_weapon4" bindPadButton PRESS PAD_UP "_inventory_prev" bindPadButton LONG_PRESS PAD_UP "inventory_hotkey ''" bindPadButton MOD_PRESS PAD_UP "_weapon_next" bindPadButton MOD_LONG_PRESS PAD_UP "_weapon0" bindPadButton PRESS PAD_DOWN "_inventory_next" bindPadButton LONG_PRESS PAD_DOWN "_inventory_drop" bindPadButton MOD_PRESS PAD_DOWN "_weapon_prev" The log printed is WARNING:Cannot detect SVN version!

Ah well, the classic and famous TDM forum discussion style. This post has really taken me back in time where there were page long arguments over multiple days until no one replied all of a sudden and the discussed feature gets ignored. We occasionally have had them too in the past years but my personal feeling is that the forums got much more quieter and people get to experiment on their own a lot more. Maybe that's partly because TDM is already final and feature complete by now.

I think it is actually quite weird that we don't have a thread on graphics technology, yet. So, I would like to encourage you to share awesome new demos, talks, articles or papers about graphics technology here. I recently came accross this brilliant analysis of the rendering pipeline of "Rise of the Tomb Raider". I would love to see something like that for Doom Eternal, but so far, I could only find this rather superficial (but nevertheless interesting) review by Digital Foundry. Epic revealed Unreal Engine 5 today, which looks absolutely stunning. That Nanite-Technology will probably save game developers quite a bit of time. I do wonder, 'though, how the actually do it? Do they dynamically generate LOD-models? Also, does their Lumen technology require RTX?

Hopefully, this feature returns for 2.14! There is a special engine-builtin image called _menuLastGameFrame, and every time player switches from the game into the main menu, the latest game screenshot is saved into it. Note that screenshot does not contains HUD, game console, subtitles, readables, etc. This image can be used in materials displayed in in-game main menu. In the simplest case you can just use textures/common/menuLastGameFrame --- this is core material which uses the image as is. If you want some custom postprocessing on top of it, you are welcome to create a custom material. Then you define a custom menu background in mainmenu_background_custom.gui: windowDef BackgroundGameFrame { rect 0, 0, 640, 480 background "textures/common/menuLastGameFrame" BACKGROUND_DEFAULT_BEHAVIOR(BackgroundGameFrame) } And configure the menu backgrounds to use only this one (mainmenu_custom_defs.gui /// In-game menu (game being played). /// Unlike "EXTRAMENU", the left half of the screen is well visible in these states. #define MM_BACKGROUNDS_MAINMENU_INGAME BackgroundGameFrame /// Extra screens of default menu (game NOT started): objectives, etc. /// Almost the whole screen is occluded by parchments in these states. #define MM_BACKGROUNDS_EXTRAMENU_INGAME BackgroundGameFrame This is tracked as https://bugs.thedarkmod.com/view.php?id=6608#c17097
