  4. Gee, thanks LinuxMint15.... :(

    Archlinux works very well for a rolling release distro. If you want to customize your system exactly the way you need and want current software updates as soon (nearly) as they are available, Arch is the way to go.

    You have to do everything yourself but it is very well documented and much simpler than other distros.

     

    But be aware that, because Darkradiant is not in the repositories, it has to be built again everytime the Arch package manager installs a new version of boost. ;)

    Boost indeed has the bad habit of breaking everything every few months. For TDM and Darkradiant I suggest to simply use Wine. It is the best way when the developers are mainly in Windows and the gnu/linux build is manly a side effect.

     

     

    There are times it seems you guys get more joy from playing with the OS than anything you run in the OS :P

    This is what I think when I see people using Windows...

  6. When is someone gonna make an Egyptian based mission?

    I double checked and I think it is worth checking it out.

     

    Please, download this package, unpack it somewhere, inside the id1 directory are mp2_prerelease_normals-high.pk3, and mp2_prerelease_textures.pk3 files.

     

    The textures should be big enough (1024 or 512px usually), but it seems there aren't all normal maps. But the notes in the readmes make me think they are in the other packs.

    There's also the issue of the nature and extent of the heavy modifications that have been made to the Unreal 3 engine, as well as the proprietary 3rd-party applications and plugins worked into it.

    Those are self-imposed issue. So from our point of view they are not an argument.

    I don't really understand... In the 1998 Thief shown the world how to do a stealth system, you can add refinement, technological gadgets (for example, shadows won't help so much if an enemy has infrared vision... on the other side Predator movie comes to mind) and many variants. But the basic idea is: visibility via light gem, sounds from surfaces.

     

    How can you go wrong? Morrowind is a another example, the hiding system is crap and the game is four years newer. It seems lots of developers say: --I can do better-- but they do not think why it is actually better and so actually do crap.

  23. Really weird... No hitting with melee weapons

    I just compiled (the code) the game and I started playing the Tears of St. Lucia. I was not expecting an angry guard when I was outside, but a hammer carrying guy run towards me.

    Quickly I understand he cannot hurt me, he strikes his hammer but always misses. It is the same when I try to defend with the sword: I cannot hurt him.

     

    I tried in the Training Mission arena and it is the same, but interestingly broadhead arrows and stones (or what ever the guard throws at you when you are not reachable) works fine.

     

     

    Is that a known bug? What can I try? Now I see if it happens also with the last trunk version. Edit: it does not help, same behavior.

    It is really annoying, because as far I can see not even the blackjack works...

     

    Edit: it seems there is no hitting at all. I cannot strike walls or objects either...

  25. Compiling Problem

    in TDM Tech Support

    Posted

    Found! It seems in my system there is no int128 when compiling with -m32!

     

    % cat a.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <limits>

int main() {
   std::cout << sizeof(__int128_t) << "\n";
}


% g++ a.cpp
% g++ -m32 a.cpp
In file included from a.cpp:2:0:
/usr/include/c++/4.8.2/limits:1405:35: error: template argument 1 is invalid
    struct numeric_limits<__int128>
                                  ^
/usr/include/c++/4.8.2/limits:1479:44: error: template argument 1 is invalid

a.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:

    std::cout << sizeof(__int128_t) << "\n";
                        ^
%

     

    It cannot be possibly just me...
