Here's the DR 2.14.0pre2 build for every interested mapper to test. This release focused on DarkRadiant's texturing abilities, the Texture Tool and some of the Surface Inspector algorithms have been completely rewritten. A new model importer UI has been added with the ability to convert FBX models into a format compatible to the game (it can also convert LWO, ASE and OBJ models). The EntityInspector can now deal with more than one selected entities, showing the shared key values in the list. Copy/Paste Textures across angled faces: Texture Tool Rotate Tool (use "R" hotkey to switch) Surface Inspector Harmonise Scale / Linked Scaling Surface Inspector Normalise EntityInspector Multi-Selection Support For more things that have changed or fixed, see the list below.

I wonder if I've missed some other small Halloween mission somewhere? Missing that competition this year Guess I'll finish watching the latest Halloween. I think the one from 1981 (the one with the computerized pumpkin masks & peoples heads turning into bugs or something) That was My 1st one. I was like 10 & lived in the boonies. That one was filmed creepy. The ones that follow after 4 usually lose their momementum & make me laugh instead.

Robert Plant loves this.

I finally got around to play Prey and I truly loved it. It is an incredible homage to System Shock and Deus Ex. While the gameplay is not en par with those two titles, the game makes up for that with its well written lore and story. The whole "world" just feells so authentic and it features a ton of really god environmental story-telling. Recommended for every immersive sim fan, i.e., everyone on this forum.

You can easily take the reflection texture (rfl) and drain the luminance out of it to create an alpha channel for the diffuse, if you want a simple transparent blend. If you mean 'casting filtered light through the glass' in a literal way - not in these engines. However, you can fake that by using a lightshader with the luminance (lmn) texture casting through it. There are a few approaches one could take to cheat this effect. A more sophisticated engine is required to literally do what I think you have in mind, though. I forgot to mention - everything in that ZIP retains the CC0 license, so anyone can use it for any project they wish. Thanks goes to Paul Wellauer for the original photos and they are the one who should rightfully be credited.

I've added some logging in a special build, which is currently compiled at: https://github.com/codereader/DarkRadiant/actions/runs/1406515381 You'll need a Github account to see it, I think. It will write the scroll events to the darkradiant.log file in c:\users\<user>\appdata\roaming\DarkRadiant @DeepWhen the build's done, please download the portable package and do some scrolling tests. Try to do a single scroll step, and pause a bit between the steps, so I can distinguish them by the timestamps in the log file. Then please send me the log, or post it here.

Pretty much nailed it

Not that I can think of — assuming no unexpected bugs of course. All my recent work has been minor tweaks which stand on their own, plus internal refactoring (covered by unit tests so hopefully not breaking anything) and adding a few new tests for the projected light calculations.

Hi, I would like to write an article about TDM for a small German game blog and also use some technical details. How can I contact the correct staff member for information about the game? I would like to inform you about the history of TDM, the programming languages used or technical details about 3D modeling, shading or sound integration. Whatever you want to tell me. The project is too interesting to just write about the gameplay with a few screenshots. I would like to give our readers some correct information - and it's best to ask the experts here! Thanks very much, Harald

You can try greebo or STiFu or nbohr1more greebo and StiFu have been with the mod pretty much from the start and they are German native speakers, but I do not know whether they have time for you. Nbohr1more (from the US) has been doing most of the PR work the past years so he might be an option as well. STifU is on vacation this week.

Removed the feature in svn revs 9587 and 16353.
