Thanks! I am guessing that other fixes need to be done to "Shadows of Northdale: Act 1" ( launches to a black screen ) ?

dev17042-10732 is public. We decided to restore the ability to create cvars, so the broken missions are "unbroken" as they are. Although I'll still try to hunt down and remove overriding scripts in the future.

Wow, thanks for the response. Glad you liked it! Yeah, I notice that once too. I tried to fix it but obviously I didn't succeed lol Those kinds of crashes are the hardest kind to debug...

A big thank you and congratulations for this mission I would rate 10/10. I can't find a better one in my memory. It's so big and varied, full of new assets. Just... wow ! Finding a way through the was hard for me, as well as being able to jump and go through a narrow hole in the I also gut stuck in this area just below the horizontal mesh hatch that opens with Oh, and my game use to crash when firing a fire arrow at a Thanks again, you are so good at this.

Maybe usfull for someone? https://www.reallusion.com/character-creator/free-3d-character-base.html

I just made an interesting discovery. In my FM that's in beta I have custom main menu music, but it doesn't always work. Basically it works: When you first start the game (whether the FM is currently selected or if you change to this mission and the game restarts) during the text briefing It doesn't work (i.e. you only get silence) When escaping back to the main menu while in-game After quitting a mission and it goes back to menu As far as I know I had all the correct settings in mainmenu_custom_defs.gui: /// Menu music after startup (not in-game) #define MM_MENU_SOUND_CMD "music fs_muslim;" /// Played in main menu when in-game (ESCaping out of the game) #define MM_INGAME_MENU_SOUND_CMD "music fs_muslim;" /// Played during non-video briefing #define MM_BRIEFING_SOUND_CMD "music fs_muslim;" It turns out the problem was I had this line set in the sound shader: leadin sound/ambient/ambience/silence.ogg Commenting that out on a hunch fixed the problem. So you might be saying to yourself 'that's all very interesting but who cares?'. My point is: Just an FYI in case someone else runs into this I don't think there is anywhere on the Wiki that covers menu customization? @Geep you've done a whole bunch around GUI scripting recently - is there somewhere you can recommend I can stick this?

Part of my point was that breakable electric lights could have an interesting contrast: They'd attract attention while also making it harder for you to get caught. When broken they should create a loud popping noise that makes nearby AI walk to them and investigate the disturbance, if they see the broken lamp even draw their swords and do an alert search... however once they've calmed down and moved on, you're rewarded with the ability to sneak there without being seen. The player will have one of two typical strategies: Either wait until there's no guards nearby in order to shoot a lamp, or shoot such lights if it's better to have guards searching but not able to see you compared to the guards being calm but able to spot you in bright light. Mappers would themselves place those lamps in areas where they want to create this particular challenge.

That blueprint looks like an image rather than a 3D file format? If so, mappers can use the bsckground image feature to trace the geometry in brush / patch form: http://orbweaver.gitlab.io/DarkRadiant/#_adding_a_background_image That said, the is probably a good AI tool that can convert blueprints to geometry formats such as ASE or OBJ

I did back up this files to the official HiRes textures SVN, so we are good to go on that front!

Hello, i have a very lazy question, is it possible to import an existing cq official blueprint cq house plan from a building as a start? eg https://stadsarchief.rotterdam.nl/apps/stadsarchief.nl/_services/ajax-proxy/index.xml?mivast=184&mizig=449&miadt=184&miaet=918&micode=396-01-02-8243&minr=55786036&milang=nl&misort=dat|asc&mip2=hugo de grootstraat&miview=viewer2

Link should be repaired in the main post! Let me know if you have any issues with it.

Yes. But, in this case, it's rather about creating darkness. Otherwise you could just break a window, throw a bottle, or whatever.

It would make sense in a real life scenario if you wanted to create a diversion . . .

Thanks, I found a way. So now I'm in the church and I'm perplexed by the

@WellingtoncrabThe download link is no longer functional: "This content is no longer available". Think you can shoot me a new download link for the asset pack?

There are several ways.

How do I get out of the area with the and I can't find any other way deeper into the city

I'm now considering the .xcf files as being in effect the source texture for the game fonts, at least those that have been bitmap edited in GIMP. So that's an argument for putting them in the TDM assets repo. But, in any event, they do need to be backed up somewhere official.

I most agree this is very confusing. The main light on my example, was not coming from the top but from the side and it looks correct to me, but your OGL example does look incorrect, if the light source is on the top right corner, so call me confused. edit: I made more testing, I was totally wrong and Wellingtoncrab is correct, it IS the D3D system, purple on the top for bumps, is the correct color, cyan in the top should be for holes. So my example is misleading and not correct.

Could be something funky going on with our implicit RGTC compression. We use a Microsoft BC format for pre-compressed normals but our on-the-fly encoder is supposed to use standard OpenGL tangent space normals. I wonder if the work to fix BC loading had some unintended effect on uncompressed loading? Maybe @orbweaver can be convinced to take a 2nd look?

i want to try darkradiant on linux. Not sure how heavy the software is. i don't want to abuse this poor thing Now i am in the process of researching new SSD replacement & GaN charger. i have found a primer on magnetic spinning disk & the underlying technology of solid state drive but i still found it hard to grok the magic behind this technologies cylinder, head and track number.. That's the last thing I heard when I was messing around with the solaris installer

This is the continuation of my first post above. Weeks ago i got a string of bad days. My main PC(elitedesk 800 g3) suffered a SSD failure and i noticed my thinkpad charger have an exposed wire. So i decided to dust off my old lenovo ideapad(ideacrap) yesterday. The spec is i3 6th generation, 4 gigs of RAM, 2.5" 500GB spinning drive and it's equipped with Intel HD & Nvidia GT 920MX. It runs Ubuntu mate 20.04 with Nvidia proprietary driver version 470 installed on it. I tried running TDM 2.12 on it and i got a somewhat 'playable' framerate at 25-33 FPS. I could hear this poor thing groaning when running TDM. It got hot quickly around 25-30 minutes into game.

No sweat, now I know. Thanks.
