  1. Any maps to recommend where I could study how others use sound_loss on info_locationseparators?

    1. SteveL

      SteveL

      NB there's a bug with sound loss that causes sound card pops in a complex enough map. It'll be fixed soon in 2.04

  2. So I found out a very cool piece of news today. My WIP is going to have a small voice acting cameo from an industry veteran. He has worked with Bethesda, Blizzard, Konami and he was even in Doom 3. But more on that later! ;)

  3. Currently in Objectives Hell ... 1 OR (2 AND 3) OR (MAYBE 4 AND DEFINITELY NOT 5) OR (ONLY IF IT'S TUESDAY) OR (NOT ON YOUR BIRTHDAY)

      Haha! That's why at work I try to avoid putting coders in an open-plan office. Sketch out your plan on a piece of paper first and cross out stuff you've done is my only advice. It helps when trying to pick up the thread.

      Tell me about it! I've spent a week on #4251's broken pointers.

  6. The "go to first unread post" function seems to malfunction on my side. Is it working for everyone else?

    1. SteveL

      SteveL

      I am sure it was playing up for me recently on one of my mobile browsers too, but it's working ok now. I use Firefox on the PC, Chrome on the phone (because Firefox for android handles the forum desktop version badly)

  7. Just had to undo a Wikipedia revison that redirtected the entire TDM page to a small mention on the Id Tech 4 page...

      @jaxa I guess we're no longer a doom3 mod, but that link should go back in.

      I've added claims of notability to the top of the article: the PC Gamer award, and distribution by print magazines. Also opened a "notability" discussion on the talk page, so other editors are bound by the rules to respond there with arguments before before removing the article again.

    1. SteveL

      Wikipedia has procedures for dealing with this sort of thing, we don't have to put up with it. NB He's probably acting in good faith. The article doesn't mention TDM's claim to notability in the header, which is required for articles on living people and current projects of any kind. It doesn't mention any awards either. I'll give it a tweak and add a note to the talk page tomorrow, requesting a discussion before any similar edits, which is always the first step to any wikipedia process.

  11. r_useIndexBuffers was broken in drivers in ancient times. It seems that once again enabling this slows things down a bit rather than speeding things. AMD users is it working well for you?

    1. SteveL

      SteveL

      We use index vbos by default. I'd have expected stuff to slow down without index buffers, because you need more data for a model without them. Am I reading your message right?

  12. I'm pleased to announce that the remade GUI translation (updated for the current version) I've been working on is completed. Still testing it, but it seems to be as fine as before. I'll be moving on to porting the translation of the two base missions into the game files soon.

    1. SteveL

      Good going! (and gratz and kudos on completing it)

      Insane, absolutely insane. Why would anyone play a game that insanely difficult and futile? I only watched 6 minutes, but did I mention insane?

  14. I've finally seen a doc and a sports physio today, who managed to unlock my shoulder in about 15 minutes! Even better he told me I could resume 2-handed typing and mouse use straight away :) Not rsi-related at all it turned out, I'd done some damage to a muscle whose name I now forget and I had some tissue being pinched in my shoulder joint, that was all.

    1. SteveL

      Haha, only after my next physio visit. That guy is a miracle worker :) We should do another Somerstown visit soon though. It was pretty cheap and quick for me to get down to London on a Friday eve, so speak up guys when you're ready for a well-deserved glass or two.

  17. I've done something to my right shoulder that means I can't move my arm more than an inch from my body :( Can't use a mouse, can't play TDM, can't type well lerft-handed. I can debug stuff left-handed, but so slowly! Hope these heat packs and creams and pills do some good soon!

    1. SteveL

      SteveL

      That's right, the rain drops are the test case. Thanks for the map, I'll DL it tonight and if necessary tweak it using stickykeys. I couln't face making a full test map using that method and left hand only!

      @SirTaffs: definitely, looking forqward to it.

      @Biker: I did phone my doc but he's off sick :( I'll find someone to go see if it's not better tomorrow.

      @AH, NB: thanks for the help!

      Thanks. I just need the pic on the tracker repping. I seem to have lost that map. Several copies of 1 particle effect, on *worldspawn* patches. Has to be worldspawn because the problem is no variation between identical particles when using worldspawn weather patches. Also please invlude a couple of FS brushes using the same particle on 1 or more surfaces.

      Thanks guys. It's been worse today but instead of being spread across the whole arm, the pain is now coming from a specific spot on the front of my shoulder joint, which makes me think it must be healing.. Still typing left handed and feeling like I'm using a foreign keyboard :) I have a patch ready for #4132 but I can't figure out how to make a test map 1-handed! DR needs 2 arms it seems...

      No idea, it just started hurting yesterday and got worse. Mouse position is the most painful so possibly some kind of rsi but I don't really know what I'm talking about!
