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!

After calling up FM Displaced for the first time on an installation of TDM 2.12/64 that had been working for years, I got an error message, which I have attached as a text file. Can someone please tell me what it means and whether I can expect it to happen again after I uninstalled and reinstalled the game because I no longer had access to it? I have played FM about 30 times and never had a problem with performance. Thank you very much. Translated with DeepL.com (free version) fehler tdm.txt

There's now an editable fan mission list on the wiki, for the sake of tracking missions made for The Dark Mod. Please read and follow the guidelines, and help keep the list up to date!

btw https://lutris.net/games/diablo-2-ressurected/ script for installing diablo 2 ressurected in lutris. scripts for other games can also be found there.

I was wondering when the tdm_main.script is loaded. Because this also loads the tdm_playertools.script . Well just guessing..

Doom3 GPL contained most of the source of the script debugger that used to be part of Quake4. Harrie van Ginneken fixed it for dhewm3 by implementing the missing parts and we further improved it together (I maintain dhewm3). I ported that to TDM. It allows you to set breakpoints in script functions (by clicking to the left of the line number, where that red dot appears then), so when those lines are executed the game is paused and you can inspect variables in the debugger, or continue running the script line-wise (with those little buttons with the arrows at the top, or F11/F10/Shift-F11, see also the "Debug" menu. To continue running the game (until it hits the next breakpoint), click that ▶︎ button at the top. You can download a testbuild and read some more information at https://github.com/stgatilov/darkmod_src/pull/6 - it should work with the latest 2.14 Beta gamedata. Note that this is currently not officially part of The Dark Mod and I don't know when (or if) it will be merged. Might be after 2.14 if the changes are considered too risky or too much to review or whatever.

I can think of a couple of possibilities. One is a script that just turns the light off and on in a loop. Something like: void flicker() { while (true) { sys.wait(10); // light on for 10 seconds float loop; // flicker a few times for ( loop = 0 ; loop < 4 ; loop += 1 ) { $mylight.Off(); sys.wait(sys.random(0.1)+.1); $mylight.On(); sys.wait(sys.random(0.1)+.1); } $mylight.Off(); sys.wait(5); // light off for 5 seconds $mylight.On(); } } You can adjust the code to change your flicker behavior. Start this in your main() with: thread flicker(); The other technique is to use the s_shader spawnarg on your light. Several outdoor lights use this already - the light makes a humming noise, and the brightness of the light is determined by the volume of the sound. It's an inverse relationship - the louder the sound, the more the light is off. You could make a sound that is silent, then a hum for a few seconds. The hum will turn the light off, I think.

NOT SO FAST MR CHUMBUCKET how dare you think your own code is fool proof! Ok, so slight story time: I wiped my install of TDM and then reinstalled the latest beta and a fresh copy of High Expectations. Then, I redownloaded my save file from google drive and put it in the FM's save folder - and was able to load the save file! After that, I redownloaded all of the other FMs I had and re-installed my WIP FM into my folder, and I could still load my save. Then I changed all of my config settings back to the way I had them before, and could still load my save. Then I redownloaded my autosave.pk4 mod - and my save loading freezing problem returned as described in my OP. We have a culprit! I have a new question for this thread, then, because I would very much like my autosave mod to function and not cause save-loading to hang for no discernable reason. This "mod" is a single .script file located in the \script\ folder. Its entire content is the following: #ifndef __TDM_AUTOSAVE__ #define __TDM_AUTOSAVE__ /* --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * * This file is added to The Dark Mod's Script Inclusion chain in tdm_main.script * * This is intended for players who wish to install addons with custom scripts that should be available * in all missions. Mission authors must use tdm_custom_scripts instead. * * --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- */ #define MAX_AUTOSAVES 5 #define AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL_SECONDS 300 void autosave() { float save_count = 1; do { sys.wait(AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL_SECONDS); string fname = "__autosave_" + save_count; $player1.saveGame(fname); sys.println("Autosaving '" + fname + "'"); save_count += 1; if (save_count > MAX_AUTOSAVES) { save_count = 1; } } while (1); } void user_addon_init_autosave() //If any of your addon scripts need to be initialised at map start, add their init function here. See the line that has been commented out with // for an example. { thread autosave(); sys.waitFrame(); // contingency in case no addons are specified } #endif what have I done wrong with this script?

Apparently that was changed in Apr 21, 2024: https://github.com/codereader/DarkRadiant/commit/81df38802245740ce53671a7560584ecfc18cf79 I wouldn't know the reason why. Not sure who to ask either. Is Matthew Mott on the forums? I'll take a look. Have you updated any of the other tickets with their current state as of the latest version? If they still happen, or possibly, happen differently?

Now I have more mobility, something I didn't anticipate was replacing my PC with a laptop. But it seems like this is just a plan. Laptops with an RTX 5060 GPU (high TGP) are really out of my price range ($200-250 price increase). Those with an RTX 5050 have also gone up by $130-$160. I'm looking for a dual heatpipe configuration (definitely dual fans) That feeling when you ask a seller on an e-commerce platform and they tell you they've raised the price by $150-$200 from the original price via chat. All the product price tags feel misleading. The prices are intentionally not updated. I do hate bait and switch pricing By the way, I haven't heard of the brands Sager or Clevo in a long time. I wonder where they are now.

This mod is actually one that I made, and it calls `saveGame` every five-10 minutes with an auto generated name. https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/22647-quick-and-dirty-autosave-mod/#comment-499784 The save file I uploaded that we are looking at is not an autosave, and that mod has been compatible and functioning correctly for several versions now. It is, indeed, a tiny script-only mod. The checksum changed because I made the adjustment to the loading screen gui recommended in frost salamander's post earlier in this topic ( https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/23119-loading-saves-just-hangs-after-closereopen-the-game/#findComment-506750 ). This mission is, flare box warning notwithstanding, bitwise identical to the latest version in the repo available to the mission downloader. Also, this issue was present before I followed that advice from frost salamander. I suppose I can go undo that change/redownload the .pk4 since it didn't fix the issue anyways. I will revert to a clean install of both the latest TDM beta and this particular mission, just to clear some red herrings out of our debugging work. Interesting! I'll go test this.

Welcome to the Snatcher's Workshop. Come on in, we may have something for you today. Feel free to look around. We trade everything here. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- We realize new ideas and take existing ideas for a spin. For fun. Somewhere in this post you will find a download with mods. Good care was put to make all mods as little intrusive as possible to make them compatible with as many missions as possible. This set of mods will never break your game but some features won't be available in a handful of missions (the reasons are known). Feel free to report here what works and what doesn't. TDM Modpack vs. Unofficial Patch With the release of recent versions of the TDM Modpack I consider the most relevant features of the Unofficial Patch have been matched, superseded, improved, or simply implemented in different ways. More importantly, the TDM Modpack is not only tightly packed and it has a minimal impact in your install but it achieves more by altering less core files, meaning more compatibility and less maintenance. One can, of course, argue. TDM Modpack 5.0 Compatible with The Dark Mod 2.13 (only) A lightweight, stable, non-intrusive, mission-friendly Modpack for The Dark Mod that includes many enhancements and a new set of tools and abilities for our protagonist: peek through doors, blow and ignite candles, whistle to distract enemies, mark your location, an invisibility-speed combo and more. Mods included in the pack do not alter your game or any of the missions in any relevant way. The pack includes enhancements to the core game and additions that can be used in missions but at the same time respects the vision of the mission creators. It is up to you to make use of any of the new tools and abilities or not. Please note that sometimes authors include in their missions their own versions of core files and as a result, some mods are not available in some missions. All missions will play fine regardless.

Description: The mod replaces the white dot pointer (Frob Helper) with an advanced ring-shaped aimer. The main difference is that the helper is now available for all objects you can interact with, large or small. Topic: Frob Helper discussion Options in Gameplay > General > Show Frob Helper: Always: Pointer and Ring Hover: Instant Ring Fade In: Ring delayed by one second Fade In Fast: Ring delayed by half second No: Off -:- MOD: SHADOW MARK -:- Credits: snatcher, Obsttorte. Availability: All missions. Description: Our protagonist's lucky deck! When the item is selected the player can drop and throw playing cards to mark a location. Cards can be retrieved.

Description: A minimalist, imperfect approach to subtitles (you can set the scope of the subs in the audio settings). Topics: Subtitles - Possibilities Beyond 2.11 / English Subtitles for AI Barks Go to the audio settings and set the scope you prefer: Story: Story only On: Story and general speech (Give it a try!) Off: Disable subtitles Features of the mod: Background replaced with a font outline. Audio source widget replaced with a text transparency based on distance (volume) to the source. Yellow font color for story subs for best contrast, light grey font color for anything else. Non-story subs limited to a single instance, so that players aren't bothered too much with non-relevant subs (barks). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- DOWNLOADS / INSTALL / UNINSTALL So, how do I install and play with all this? Quite easy, but pay attention. I don't want you to break your game so we will be using a "Mod Enabler". A Mod Enabler allows you to enable and disable mods at will, with a few clicks. Before moving forward you must know a couple of things: The moment you enable a mod, previous saves will not work. If you want to load previous saves then you will have to disable the mod. If you play a mission with mods, the saves will only work when that exact set of mods are enabled. This above is important in case you deem your current saves precious. Consider yourself informed. DOWNLOADS You can download the TDM Modpack from Mod DB: INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS Download the zip, unzip it, and move contents to your TDM root folder: Folder "MODS" File "JSGME.exe" Go to your TDM root folder and double click on JSGME.exe (yellow icon). The first time you launch JSGME, it will ask for the "Mods Folder Name". Leave "MODS" and click OK. Now to your left you will find a list of mods available. To your right you will find a list of mods currently enabled. To enable a mod, select a mod on the left, and click on the arrow pointing to the right. To disable a mod, select a mod on the right, and click on the arrow pointing to the left. Go and enable the mods you want: UNINSTALL INSTRUCTIONS Quit the game (to unblock files) Go to your TDM root folder and double click on JSGME.ese (yellow icon) Disable all mods found on the right Close JSGME Delete the following: Folder "MODS" File "JSGME.exe" File "JSGME.ini" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope you enjoy the mods. No coin? then leave a like for pirate's sake!

You mean this effect? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buB29Qvv0c8 What I used is a teleportation script and an x-ray screen (because actually you look into the same room, but altered). There's still a wobble when teleported though. There's teleporting there, but I don't remember you can look into that other place. I think The Painters Wife might have something like this. I think there are 2 possibilities for making the "look into other place" effect work. One is faking the new place via an x-ray screen or another room next to it that you look at. The other way is to use a camera screen. The camera is placed in the new location and the door is also a screen. Also maybe using a cubemap is possible. I think that's how they did it in The Painter's Wife?

Im going to discontinue the project as it takes up all my time and msys2 has dropped support for building 32 bit anyway. You can still get the compiler on github together with the changed launchers and system integration scripts. Main problem is that while many packages still build on 32 bit they are broken (needing more porting work or just not 32 bit compatible anymore). As msys2's repo now contains several thousand packages it became unmaintainable to filter out the ones that still worked. Also the python based documentation tools no longer work with 32 bit so a lot of the packages need to be modified to drop documentation builds on 32 bit which means i would have to rewrite several hundreds of packages. The compilers themself and many many of the libraries and tools work fine though and before i ditch it ill upload the latest versions of them that i know work. These tools include gcc clang go rust nim perl and to some degree python. Most rust packages work except webassembly which i disabled anyway. Documentation tools that does not require pythons sphinx also work for 32 bit. I keept qt6 at version 6.4.3 which is pretty old by now but is the last version with full 32 bit support. Qt5 is the latest though. Build tools supported are dmake cmake mingw32-make xmake bmake cargo nimble meson and ninja. Pretty much all compression and image support library including hdr versions. A ton of math and fortran libraries. Subset of the ada build system and tools. 32 bit clang compiler. Uses an older python3 and still supports documentation build on 32 bit. Much more stable than gcc but has less options (by default only supports C and C++, fortran is supported only on 64 bit). Id stick with the 32 bit clang compilers unless you need ada or 32 bit fortran modules.

I am not aware of a way to execute a custom gui action from the console, it might be possible as you can execute a script from it, but I have never seen an example of it being done. To enable the cursor you need to locate the in game maps gui definition, which by default is usually "guis/map_of.gui" or some variant and open it with any text editor. Right near the top there is a window float variable "nocursor 1" which needs to be replaced with "menugui 1". This will allow the correctly scaled cursor to appear when the map is open, but you will still have a free camera. You can relatively easily enable map screen camera immobilization across the entire game by replacing this core script file in your game/script directory with the one attached. But if it has been overwritten in an fm for any reason already might have to edit the mission itself. tdm_inventory_map.script

Besides the usual (legitimate) excuses about this being an open source project run by volunteers who have other commitments, etc., I think one of the main things missing is a proper triage process and prioritized backlog for bug reports and feature requests. At least that's how a 'real' software project would work. But someone trusted by the dev team would need to volunteer for that role (if it's even agreed it's needed). Loads of issues get reported, but in different places (the bug tracker, or various forum posts, Discord, etc.). The forum is a nightmare to search, so things get lost as soon as they are posted. Some devs don't really read all of the forums unless they are tagged (again, I don't blame them not everyone has time to read every single post or hang around Discord 24/7). I make sure to log bug reports and feature requests in the bug tracker, so at least I can easily find them later. I think there is a better chance of someone seeing it there as well. Then you could maybe raise awareness of it by posting in the forums with a link to it. Unfortunately with respect to features and suggestions, nobody is really in a position to make any promises at any given time whether something can or will be implemented. It seems to need to reach some critical mass of internal discussion first, which sometimes only happens after some pestering occurs. If you look at the stuff that @Daft Mugi and @STiFU have implemented recently, they do a great job of making a case for their feature requests, complete with screen shots, videos, evidence from users from discord and forums, rationale with pros and cons. This helps a lot when trying to convince a group of people that your idea is worth considering. EDIT: I meant to say the non-responses can definitely give the impression of apathy and that's frustrating, but I think that would be a harsh assumption. IMO this forum or Discord are not suited to feature discussion. The rest of the world has moved onto things like Github issues which are way easier to have targeted, scoped discussions about particular bugs or features. And also to find them later.

I think saveGame script event is a very dangerous thing. All the proper ways to save game are called from the main thread outside of parallel section. But the game script is called immediately in the frontend thread, which is not supposed to work properly. At the very least it needs to run GL commands to take screenshot, which it certainly cannot do on frontend thread.

I concluded that save preservation doesn't work between versions and accepted that. But yeah it can be frustrating. I would say download a 2.14 beta version, but don't upgrade tdm during playing. If you want to beta test a new version, just copy the install directory and install a newer beta on it. I think improvements could be made to the TDM installer. I think the installer could have an option in the last screen to delete all saves in excisting missions. It might be possible to write a simple script for that so players could do that themself if wanted. Another (better) idea is to hide saves from previous versions inside the load/save gui. So you only see the saves from that specific version and if you go back a version you might see saves from previous versions, but only those. One would think this is possible because it gives a not compatible warning on load of these saves, so I would say it's known info. The installer could be set via a shortcut to do automated installs based partly on existing data? So: Source directory files / downloaded online fms files location (excluding saves?) modds installed Edit: The installer (don't know if there are differences between Win and Linux versions) doesn't give many options for installing from script/command line it seems. You can set: --help: Display this list of parameters. --unattended: Unattended install. --version {ver}: Install the version instead of the default one. So (I think) one could make a script that: makes a directory with prompt: name copies over tdm installer to that directory Starts installer unattended with specific version (via prompt?) Copies over fms folder from previous tdm install directory deletes all save folders in all folders in fms folder

Yeah since TPW uses that automap feature it uses a completely different script object for the ingame map. You'd have to extract the archive and then drop this further modified file into the script folder in the fm's directory. tdm_automap.script

Greetings everyone! I recently got into TDM and am already having a lot of fun playing through and ghosting missions. However, coming from Thief, I am mostly relying on the rules and my experience with that game, while there are clearly differences in how TDM works. Right now, there is talk in the ghosting discussion thread on TTLG to amend the ruleset and include clarifications pertaining to TDM. So I wanted to drop by and ask: is there an active TDM ghosting community already and have any rules for this playstyle been developed? I would also like to ask someone to take a look at the draft of this addendum to see whether everything looks correct: https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=148487&page=16&p=2473352&viewfull=1#post2473352 Thanks!

Easy outdoors recipe. If you are lazy and want to make an outdoor area, you could use this strategy: It doesn't look even bad from high up: The setup is really simple: You have 1) the play area (selected and red.) 2) area with skybox texture (blue) 3) skybox (you need to add some kind of ground terrain there) 4) hide the seam between play area and the skybox texture area with a pile of big bushes. These bushes I made with simple bunch of patches with the wood model leave textures. I made it into an ase model and cloned the 32 decal bunch around to generate thich bushes. I also placed some trees floating into the skybox texture area. 5) You must make the bushes closed area so that the player cannot move into them. Otherwise the end-of-world is nasty looking and visible: Enjoy!

@stgatilovApolgies if this was mentioned but I am having a problem if an error is posted to the console. I get a black screen and a freeze if the level tried to load with an error in its map.script file (probably in any script file actually.) The error shows up in the log for example : ERROR:Function 'spiderweb_enter' has the wrong number of parameters for function call from 'test_web1' -------------------------------------- WARNING:idSession: triggering mainmenu watchdog But it doesnt do the previous behavior of kicking you out of the map and posting the error. It just freezes.

The Imperial Sword By: Bikerdude "When passing through the small town of Brouften, the locals mentioned that the Town Council have been having issues with one of the local nobels. One Lord Drafferi, who has been interrupting Town Council meetings and claiming that nobody on the council has any authority on town matters..." Notes: - TDM 2.12 or later is REQUIRED to play this mission. - This FM is based on an abandoned old version of The Elixir that doesn't resemble the current mission at all as a base for town of Brouften. - This FM should play on the vast majority of systems. I have perf tweaked this thing to within an inch of its life. And have moved almost all of the VL ligh effects to the ‘ better’ LOD level. - min recommended spec (as per beta testing) Intel Core i7(3rd gen), nvidia 1030 4gb (GDDR5), will get you 60fps inside and 45fps outside. - Various areas will look better with shadow maps enabled (SoftShadows set to high and Shadows Softness set to zero) at the possible expense of performance. - When you play there are 2 LOD settings of note, normal and better. On better all of the VL lights and alpha shadows are turned on. - I also suggest using MAPS shadows with softness set to low and quality so to medium or high. - And lastly this mission has subtitles for all the custom audio and briefing. Tip: - When searching for needed items, use the "F" \ "Lean Forward" Key Brunting Steel: The sword in this mission is made of Brunting Steel which is a semi-mythical metal in the TDM universe. It is similar to Damascus Steel which was famed for it's strength in comparison to other steel swords. In TDM mythology, it was originally forged on an island utopia, similar to the fabled metal "Orichalcum" crafted in Atlantis. The first mission to mention Brunting Steel is "Crucible of Omens: Behind Closed Doors" Download Link: - (v1.3.6) - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mu-FdGH1FivMgt4Fy1OgwiDjvIpA1Uck/view Changes: The briefing has been tweaked to remove some of the confusing aspects, aswell as the audio, so the narration is easier to understand. There is now more than one exit point to complete then mission. A number of annoyances that some players reported have been tweaked or outright changed.

I dunno, but looking at the TDM Script Reference, there's a few things you might try from a triggered script. Like <entity>.stopSound(channel), where channel might be SND_CHANNEL_ANY. Don't know if this works with AI. Or maybe <ai>.bark(sound), where sound could be a short silence clip. Or even just null? Other possibilities I guess: <emitter>.Off(); <emitter>.On(); startSound(...); playAndLipSync(...);
