  1. Started a Veteran Xenonauts campaign, entire landing party wiped out on first mission. Eeep.

      Upper difficulties are extremely unforgiving. Sebillians are just crazy tough, and see through smoke grenades with no penalty. Facing off against androns / drones with kinetic weapons? just abort the mission.

  2. I've been thinking of asking this earlier: is it a known engine quirk that the player can clip through walls by strafe-running along them in TDM?

      holy crap he broke the game. we need to make a new contextual wall-grip movement scheme to fix this asap.

  3. I plugged TDM over at http://day9.tv/d/Day9/day9s-day-off-more-suggestions/ . Show Sean [Day9] Plott some love, and check out his show :)

      I like day[9] a lot, but I don't see the whole Starcraft/MTG to TDM crossover thing happening.

  4. Gah! My new graphics card came with a coupon that gives a free game. Of course it has to be redeemed, right. The requirement to get the game was to use shop.ubi.com and install something called Uplay. Yugh. What a piece of shit. I feel dirty and filthy.

      got a bit laggy and noise-ridden when i spammed all over it. makes me think if we tried putting rain splash on something like this that it would slow down tdm to a crawl.

  15. finally doing some map edits since 2.0, repackaging all wip projects to fms folder is the worst thing that has ever happened. never ever stashing custom stuff and wip maps in root darkmod subfolders ever again.

    1. ungoliant

      or in case you meant in general, you just put them in fms/mymission/textures, etc etc, and the fs_game path in DR should have no issues loading them up

      I found a way to circumvent the issue. Set engine path to the old 1.08 folder with all the originals, then reset to the new engine path and game path, and WITHOUT RESTARTING DR, now you can map to the old assets with find/replace. If you have 15+ backups you plan to keep, have fun rinse/repeating, lol.

      hunting down non-existing textures and replacing with find/replace in DR is a serious hassle, and thats not including sound shaders. I'm also refiling the custom assets i make under darkmod/custom for extra super happy fun time, and dividing up all the custom shaders to only the projects they are being used in, so i can delete the originals from darkmod folder. cleaning house.

      Yea, Heavy Rain is probably the best cinematic-style game of all time. QTE and cutscene driven gameplay still has its own place in gaming, where it can be fun and enjoyable. As long as it doesn't pretend to be something its not.
