I just dreamed that I was on a Dark Tranquility concert and then the vocalist took me out of the massive crowd on the stage just to leave it with me and the band together. We went to the back stage where they showed me a game they were developing with the crowd outside waiting for the next song. Then we went out for dinner and ice skating in an abandoned mall. lol

Anyone have any luck with light.setShader( string ) ? It seems to make whichever light you apply it to full-bright on the initial invoke?

This and .... a test map
I really don't want to dig through tons of files to search for the issue, not to mention the loading times. And if you cannot reproduce the issue in a test map, then maybe it's the maps fault.

unknown general material parameter 'lightAmbientDiffuse' in 'lights/ambientCube/cumbesky_mountain_sunset_caduceus'
in both TDM 2.10 and SVN. The ambient is missing, therefore no effect anyways.
Don't know what you've done or may have forgotten to include, but I cannot reproduce an ambient issue if there is no ambient
And next time, test map

We both have a very different understanding of the term "test map".
I'll look into it.

So I've made some tests and am not able to reproduce the issue. Can you upload a test map?

I've tested it with the script function you mentioned above. I've put it in the main script and executed it 5 seconds after mission start. The location system based light changes also worked flawlessly in the passed, even though I am not sure whether they were used for shader changes.
I'd never tested this with cubic lights, though. Maybe they are the issue. Will have to take a look to see whether (1) I can reproduce the issue and (2) if so, circumvent it.

Works fine on my end. What entity and shader did you use?

So, how do any of you feel about "Map Ideas"? I have no time, motivation or big enough desire, sorry 'bout that, to make maps myself, but I do have a lot of ideas, maybe a good mapper would pick up and make it, or even make it up his own? Always loved giving some "artistic freedom".
-
Btw: How 'bout spending a weekend or an afternoon getting into the basics of Dark Radiant. Not with the purpose in mind of creating a mission, but just for getting into the basics. The best outcome is that you taste blood and continue realizing your ideas, the worst is that you wasted some time.

Sure. I wouldn't expect someone to transfer your ideas into a mission one by one, but maybe some of your stuff gets adopted. It doesn't hurt.
The best that may happen is people starting to threw the ball back and forth which might lead to surprising results.

Listen, I'm not mad, scripters. Well, maybe just a little upset, but mostly bewildered.
I'm reading all these script files, and their indentation, and I'm just picturing some sort of frat party going on, where everybody is plastered, and is sometimes just making out while sitting on the spacebar.
I mean you have heard of indentation, right? ...like properly nested indentation?
...because the first time I looked at one of your script files, I was like "Oh! So this is a sort of indentation based nesting, that looks very complex now, but which I'm just going to have to learn.".
...but no. Apparently this is obfuscation that makes every script look like "ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn".
Why?

I wonder if this could be turned into a sitcom. Big Nort Theory.
The whole forum was in a cool, smooth state
then - it feels like fourteen billion years ago - Nort came by to rage

That might be true, but "express as positively and optimistic as possible" is not really what you have done. That's just how it appears to me, others may see it differently.

People aren't allergic against critique, but against certain ways of presenting it. Although I understand that you may feel more comfortable with your interpretation

Several people have written those scripts, a lot of them (including myself) are neither informatics nor programmer. So it is not surprising that you don't find an overall standarization of things like this. You can also see this in the way script functions are named.
And yes, this can be annoying, but you will hardly get this to change in a hobbyist project, especially when continuoisly complaining about how wrong it is what everybody else are doing.
If you really want such things to change, I suggest that you try to convince people of the benefits of standards or write a wiki article about it linked from the major sources newcomers tend to read first. I can't guarentee this will make a difference, but at least there is a chance and it would be much less annoying.

While I did find Springheel's brushwork pretty questionable, I guess engine performance must also have come a long way during the recent five years, because I can safely say that the kind of performance issues that he's talking about in this video, just didn't happen to me when I fully opened up my basement with all its unoptimized brushwork. The framerate was capped at a nice 60 FPS no matter how I tried, and with visportals on top of this, and the complexities turned into "func_static":s, an uncapped framerate would just be obscene, at least for graphics cards only a few years old. I no longer have any worries about large areas and vistas - I'll just go nuts. It's gonna be fine.

@Epifire Still watching you.
Oh, and my last post in that thread is only a bit more then a year old. It isn't necro if it isn't dead.

I'd like to make an Ambients database that lists all the ambient assets currently available in TDM, for mapping purposes. I would like to ask whether it would be all right to use some public sound storage and playback site (e.g. SoundCloud, maybe ?) to upload short samples of these ambients ? As previews for the database overview. Feedback on this idea needed !

I am not sure this is neccessary as mappers can listen to the files in DR itself. What scheme are you going to sort them on?

I put the ancient sticker on the new computer build, and the new sticker on the one with ancient parts inside, so that if a thief breaks in who knows about computers, he'll steal the wrong (old) one, instead of the good one. Ryzen is running in a 16 year old case with an Athlon XP sticker on it... lol
-
And if he has a magical back like in TDM, he will probably steal both. And any sylverware he can find
