Hey all! I haven't properly played the Dark Mod since 2.05 or maybe even 2.04 until now and I've noticed that whatever I do in game the center and LFE channels of my 5.1 sound system remain silent. In other words, the output is actually 4.0 (2 front + 2 rear speakers) rather than 5.1. Now, I am not sure exactly but I recall no problems previously - until the EFX update 2.06, I think. I even found my older post about extremely loud LFE channel here: http://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/18741-really-loud-music/&tab=comments#comment-405277 As I understand, it is often made that the center and LFE channels are reserved for special sounds and not used often as the front speakers. For example, in Witcher3 center is mostly used for voices in the dialogs and the best way to check LFE is to use the aard sign magic. Or, in Skyrim it is known that LFE plays only when the dragon hits the ground. The first question is: do I have an issue with sound or not? Because maybe the sound output is ok and I've simply met no specific conditions utilizing the center and LFE channels? Minding my previous paragraph, I don't think it's EFX related but maybe the sound shaders simply changed since 2.05? This all brings me to another question: is there a way to check somehow in the Dark Mod wether the game outputs the sound correctly? About my setup now. I output sound via HDMI to Pioneer receiver with 5.1 setup. Everything works fine in modern games that provide 5.1 output support like the Witcher3 or Mortal Kombat 10 and 11. The windows sound configuration in control panel allows me to check all the speakers and it's fine. I have win 7 64 bit, OpenAl installed. The Dark Mod allows me to set 5.1 sound in options with no warning (I know that in other cases it gives a message like "your system does not support this sound configuration"). Please, help me to find out if anything's wrong with my setup and why my center and LFE channels are silent. Hate to start new threads but I didn't find anything related to my problem. Moreover, I feel the lack of sound-related discussions considering our community's interests.

@Bienie You can append more nodes to a NURBS curve, like the one used in the spline, by using the curve-related buttons at the bottom of the left pane of DR's interface.

Agreed, save the clickbait titles for TDM missions. Like: Corbin the... [insert shock factor here] ?

Still pretty poor. How about: that girl's statement sound horrific. It was painful to read, and I'm really sorry if that's what's happened to her. If that's so, the guy responsible is a bastard, and should answer for everything what he did. Still, he should have the right to defend himself in court, like every one of us, in whatever legal case. At the same time, we should work together to change the system, so the victims aren't afraid to turn to law enforcement to seek help and justice, as soon as possible, instead of having sort of coming-outs decades later, as the only form of relief. This also includes making the system as fool-proof as possible, so such statements or accusations aren't freely thrown around by those, who just want to make life of a particular person miserable. See? Wasn't that hard.

Yessss Bafford’s might still be one of my favs, probably because I played that Eidos demo over a hundred times before I got TDP.

I enjoy art to enjoy the art, not to endorse the person who made it.

Another thing that is wrong right now with the mission loader and might be fixed while people look into new options: After you have downloaded a mission, it will not be correctly erased from the new missions list on the left until you restart the game. In fact the name stays over the "no new missions" background which looks doubly bad ;)!

Makes me wonder - is it an animation I can see in the game? Is it mission-specific? How should it manifest (destroying the penis attachment)

I also think this would not be possible / too complicated to implement. The release date though would be a really helpful addition to the ingame downloader

No, we don't have that data. Missions can be spread across multiple mirrors.

The shadow/light play, and the dark atmosphere makes me lust for this. ?

It's an RPG with immersive sim elements, so not really GTA. And just because it's not a clone of Deus Ex it doesn't mean it's not a similar type of game.
