Why are you asking?

 

Did you had a nice day?

 

Your post is lacking information to give a valid answer ;)

I haven't really been in the know with what the team's doing in terms of model fixes, but I did find a few issues while mapping in 2.05. If no one else has addressed them I'd be happy to add notes to the bugtracker or try and solve some of the simpler texture issues. What I've found is as follows:

 

1. Painting skins dead1 and dead2 are missing materials. I'd have to poke around in the files more to find out precisely what's wrong.

 

2. There are missing textures for the majority of the candle_set02 models, mainly bump maps and an additive texture for when the candles are supposed to be lit. This one could be problematic if no one has the original files, or the original models with which to bake new textures from.

 

I also submitted a tracker for the diamond_pattern_andbars01 textures way back when that never seems to have been addressed, they're still missing a bump map if I'm not mistaken. If no one knows where the original files went to (or if they never existed) I'd be happy to try creating a new bump map in Photoshop, but the results could be hit or miss.

If it's model based I can open/edit any LWO based files but I hadn't been told we needed any fixes on them. I probably should check the bug tracker but I wasn't aware we were needed fixes. Although that being said I wouldn't mind tracking down all the red line asset based errors that occur on startup.

Modeler galore & co-authors literally everything

This is part of the reason I asked the question in the OP.

There are two ways you can do this -

  • if you have read right access to the main svn you can fix the mo0dels and commit the changes
  • If no SVN access, then post a link to the fixed models in the tracker so one of the team can add them to svn.

There is now a open tracker where people can log models that need looking at - http://bugs.thedarkmod.com/view.php?id=3771

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?
