Live the idea of the contest!! Very good!
Nbohr's posts always look like this these days and I always wonder how he does it. @nbohr1more do you write your posts in some other editor and perform manual linebreaks (and maybe even have different lineendings than what the forum expects)?
Edit: I just copy pasted the post to notepad++ and enabled showing of whitespace characters. What are you doing there mate?
I think I first noticed it here https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/20169-the-history-of-bloom/&do=findComment&comment=446309
It looks rather cool, mostly because he's a no-nonsense person and his formatting kinda underscores that in my mind

Your screenshot shows revision 9540?
Notools project does not update svn counter in build. It’s current svn.

I think I fixed all calls in svn rev 9595.
Here are executables from the latest SVN, most likely compatible with the latest dev build.
It would be great if someone can verify that everything works properly now even with "r_glCoreProfile 2" (default).You did

You were right all along
It's still frustrating as heck that it didn't raise any GL errors
And I'm not sure what we're left with in the end - half-core profiles that do something specifically forbidden by specification? Crazy

Because they are more permissive.
Maybe some popular game used CPU pointers in core profile, so drivers decided to support it.Anyway, it is a big error for core profile, and it must be fixed.
Agree about fixing the error
I just can’t imagine a game requiring a core profile and then doing client arrays. Oh, wait…

It would be great if someone can verify that everything works properly now even with "r_glCoreProfile 2" (default).What is it supposed to fix? Core profile on pre-GCN Radeons? Why did all other drivers work if it's about the removed legacy stuff? I can test tomorrow, but I'm skeptical.

@esmeWhat about compiling TDM from source in debug mode on your PC?

That's already fixed, at least I'd like to believe that: https://bugs.thedarkmod.com/view.php?id=5706
But I appreciate your readiness to look into it, helping hands are always welcome.
I just created three UI/UX bugs in the tracker. While I'm practically zero skilled in DR they feel like immediate improvements.
OTOH they could be intended operation? I can work on each of them if green lighted

Alright, that makes sense
I want to look into the Surface Inspector window and make it resize (down) nicely
Biker complained that this is a regression in the latest version
Is that ok?
-
DR does not start for me when compiled from master. It just exits immediately
@stgatilov@OrbWeaver@greebo Anything obvious I could have missed?
The exception message is "Cannot find the main module in any of the paths: C:/dev/tdm/drsrc/install/modules/; C:/dev/tdm/drsrc/install/plugins/"
EDIT: Apparently I need to build all the projects manually. I assumed they were included as project dependencies

I guess if I was on REALLY old/crappy hardware and was only getting 20 fps, a 5-6 FPS drop would be very noticeable. But in those cases, players can disable the frob outline completely.
Exactly my point

Good to hear, i didnt know about this spawnarg but if it hides those items then thats a start. Although as Cabal said i think it looks weird and broken when it occludes half the object.
That's two evils we're choosing from here

Nice! I guess you're the type to kick a guy when he's down! You do that to homeless people too? What a turd! I can do a good job
kicking myself, I don't need a turd like you doing it.
I see why you're upset, but sometimes lessons are painful
It's not nearly worst what could happen in life, no need to drive up the heat
Every mapper or digital creator here is on your side

The cost scales with the complexity of the highlighted object. A simple gold coin isn't really a concern, but a guard or other complex geometry may be a different matter. So be sure you test the right thing.
Also, the hack means that while the outline is generally hidden by depth, it is not a perfect match. It will often slightly protrude into the depth-occluded region, which is not a critical concern, but it does look a little ugly to my eye.
It's not too bad though, is it?
I mean, no way it can suck as much as soft stencil shadows we used to have a while back?

This seems to be the effect of the "Cleanup" button in the mission list, which Neonsstyles said on Discord he used.
Judging by the text it sounds like it should mostly just delete savegames that accumulated while playing, but in fact it deletes almost all files that are outside of .pk4's. This thing is a landmine for a mapper, and now someone has stepped into it without making a backup.
Reproduction is easy:
1) Go to your darkmod/fms/stlucia folder and extract the .pk4 (so you get darkmod/fms/stlucia/maps etc.).
2) Open TDM, go to the missions list, click on Mission 2: St. Lucia and click on "Cleanup" and then "Delete".
3) Go to your darkmod/fms/stlucia folder again, now almost all the extracted files outside of the .pk4 have been deleted.Thanks
Do you think anything here needs fixing?
Or it's intended operation? I'm asking because someone put it there for a reason a while ago, not something new
-
For my quick testing the cost of it was less than 2% of gpu load
-
Unless you can reproduce the deletion there's nothing much to fix

@duzenko There are plenty of examples. Its not likely to "break" a mission, but its going to reveal things the author intended to hide. Its like having xray vision in some cases.
I was actually talking about an unreleased mission, but I checked volta 1 and found a couple examples:
For my own missions im not *that* concerned with this, but its an unintended consequence and in my mind can break immersion and in worse case mess up the author's intent.Thanks
I tested the two coordinates provided, and the frob ignore depth cvar hides outline for both
Am I correct that if that cvar is in the 'right' state by default then the issue is fixed?
-
It’s a little crazy
We talk about broken missions as a critical bug but still no mission name and getviepos coordinates

put a "secret" switch under a desk.
In DR? Didn't you say the existing missions break with frob outline? I'm interested in that

It isn't a bug, it's a feature. With the frob highlight on as currently set default in the 2.10 dev builds, you can see it thru' desks, walls, etc. So if this is implemented in the final build I'll have to go through my wannabe FM taking this new feature into account, relocating switches, loot, readables etc., or covering the entities with target_set_frobable, or whatever else that'll work to make it play right. The game is a THIEF homage, and there's stuff that's supposed to be hidden from thieves, not telegraphed through walls etc. That's the whole point of the game.
I never made TDM - I'm late to the party - so I'll go with whatever and do so thankfully because I appreciate the work, the result, and it's great fun working with DR then checking it out in a great game engine. Going thru' my wannabe FM to redo things to account for this feature won't be much problem, the time spent a drop in the bucket compared to the time already spent learning tricks.
But what about all the FM authors who're no longer here, who's going to fix up their FMs to put back the mystery.
What are the steps for me to reproduce?
-
Is there a simple way to reproduce the whatever bug some people think the frob highlight has?

I've seen something similar, in my case all sliders in the menu lack the visual movable slide and the value label, also some missions lack the "start mission" string, I assume all this is because of the changes being done to the menu system by stgatilov and will be solved sooner than later.
Image_preload 0?

Pity, I grew fond of the new frob visuals

The new dev build is available, so now everyone can test the new approach.
To be honest, I forgot to add a cvar to enable/disable the new RGTC code, so on the new dev build it is always on.
I'm afraid you'll have to install old/new versions side-by-side if you want to make a comparison.image_useNormalCompression does that?
You mean there's no more driver compression, only ours or none

Trying to simulate bounce lighting... the (not so) easy way
in The Dark Mod
Posted
It does not make sense to me to add a second ambient light in the same origin
What you can do, is put a second 'regular' shadow-casting lights close to the 'bouncing' surface
