The TDM Unofficial Patch is a personal project of mine to modify some small details that annoyed me in the core game. It wouldn't be possible without many others, so thanks to the whole TDM community for discussions and help, but especially to friendly modders who directly contributed code for it, like Obsttorte, Dragofer, Kingsal, Goldwell, Destined, and snatcher! You can find it under the link below and while over the years there was little progress, in recent times many things have been improved that I never even thought of when I started and some might be worth to be included in the core game. https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-dark-mod/addons/the-dark-mod-unofficial-patch Version Changelog: ------------------ v1.7 20.08.2022 ---- Made loot icon change right back to last tool icon, thanks snatcher.

"What? You again?!" Yes, I'm afraid so! After 60 hours of mapping in just under 2 months, Chase Mercantile's remake is almost ready for beta testing! It's bigger, better, harder and more complex than LBB's remake, so this time around I'm opting for a closed beta. If you've the time and inclination to spare, sign my GeoCities guestbook below and I'll send some DMs in a day or two!

You realize that you've hijacked both Kukutoo's topic and idea for a contribution? You've turned the discussion toward you and your patch, your new plans for in-game maps and whatever - even though this is a completely different idea than that originally explained? I was discussing Kukutoo's map. I agree with those who think you should start your own thread so you can talk about your idea for adding a map to your patch.

Sorry, hijacking the thread was not my intention. I will create a new thread for my patch...

It's a https server, hence it wasn't working. I don't have access to an http server it appears. Heck, I don't even know what difference the s at the end makes

Commit #10079 (source code) and #16607 (assets): cvar tdm_blackjack_indicate added (boolean, defaults to 1) to allow enabling/disabling the knockout preview indication new spawnarg added to the blackjack, knockout_range melee_distance controls the distance within you can hit the enemy, knockout_range is the maximum distance between the point were the trace hits the enemy and the enemies eyes below which a hit is taken into consideration for a probably successful knockout. I've played a bit and have no strong opinions regarding the values, but you are free to play with them and tell me if you think higher or lower values would work better. Returning to the old system is possible by changing the blackjack_viewmodel def as described in an earlier post. Switching between both systems within TDM or using the preview relyable with the old system is not possible atm. But I am not sure whether any of this is necessary.

The scripting language is Doomscript, which is a simplified version of C++.

@wesp5 Given authors can set their missions anywhere and we all love shiny new assets I am certain there are are some who would appreciate having a new asset to use for a world map if you posted one. Why you think you should alter the art and setting of author's missions - both elements of the story - is beyond me but I doubt that will stop you. All in service of what? This fictional universe diverges from the history of continental Europe almost 1500 years ago and features ghosts and werewolves, but somehow this cannot conceivably fit in that framework? Really the wiki goes through pains to specify that everything is a suggestion and what actually matters are the intentions of fm authors. They do not need you to decide this for them. I will say I don't want your map in my mission and ask that you please exclude it from your patch. I actually spent a lot of time trying to create some continuity with the larger world and building off of elements mentioned in the background on the wiki. I have readables which speak to specific geography of Bridgeport and the larger world which do not conform with yours. The conflict with Menoa features heavily as well with many characters being Menoan war veterans. I guess in your mind Menoa was Ireland?

We did some refactoring related to shadow modes, and as the result we can now easily switch between stencil and shadow maps on per-light basis. Starting from dev16599-10071, volumetric lights display properly with stencil shadows mode selected in settings menu. It works by forcing the particular lights with volumetrics into using shadow maps instead of stencil shadows. The special "volumetric_noshadows -1" setting is useless now, as well as the whole volumetric_noshadows spawnarg.

Agreed! A five-star mission. Goldwell, consider adding female "hmm" sounds to her next adventure: sound\voices\player\player_hmm_1.ogg sound\voices\player\player_hmm_2.ogg sound\voices\player\player_hmm_3.ogg sound\voices\player\player_hmm_4.ogg
