      This would also need to be debunked:

      Did you read it? Almost all other places are censoring DNC topics. Name a place where I can read about DNC controversies and I'll gladly switch. T_D covers terrorist attacks and all sorts of censored material that isn't available in David Brock's 1984 news universe.

      Understood. You won't read a detailed technical breakdown of document forensics because it came from a partisan source. C'est la vie.

      Thanks for this. As they say, "be the change you want to see." It's up to all of us to keep things documented and organized.

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

      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.

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

      Obviously it started out as a Doom3 mod, versions of it on computers out there are Doom mods, and taking away the category makes the game harder to find.

      So with the use of "floor", you can potentially save a lot of time manually dragging things down so they sit on the ground? That sounds pretty useful

      Yeah. I'm not gonna revert to the old BIOS to find out. I just thought id share. That said, this was the most nerve wracking BIOS update I ever did. The tool was so wonky I was sure I bricked the motherboard doing it until I finally saw the 2nd boot splash

      Hey @nbohr1more Media page on website is borked:

      https://www.thedarkmod.com/media/

      (it looks like the Nextgen gallery plugin doesn't work anymore sitewide)

      Edit: Ah somebody seems to be working on it now. I wonder why a description list is used though..

      Having a lightbox + slideshow plugin would be a good idea.

       

      Maybe it's also good to upload some more (recent) screenshots and/or other media? We could make some sort of competition and the highest ratest screenshots will be placed on the media page? This could also influx some more TDM play (of 2.11).

      Thanks for the well-wishes! I feel I am mostly recovered. ( maybe the antiviral drugs helped hasten things ? ) Definitely glad I didnt suffer the fate of Physics Girl. The only lasting Covid impact for me is residual muscle discomfort in my right arm from the first vaccine dose 2 yrs ago.

  16. I wonder if v1.08 would run "standalone" if end-users copied pk4 data from the Doom 3 demo. Nobody could officially condone it but players might get to try TDM without downloading anything illegal...

      Using the demo00.pk4 won't work - it might bring a missing few resources, but missions using skeletons or undead will still crash. Nice idea, tho.

      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 :)

    3. nbohr1more

      nbohr1more

      lightAmbienDiffuse should exist in the latest SVN per:


      I can create an alternate material with ambientCubicLight instead for 2.10 if you prefer?

    4. Obsttorte

      Obsttorte

      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.

      demagogue

      The Location System is technically mentioned in the context of a blurb saying the ambient sound system exists. (I remember because I wrote it!) But not everything it does. It's a bit complicated for an intro tutorial, but if many people think it's important enough, maybe we can have section just for it and add the ambient sound & EFX.

      The votes from each thread will be calculated at the conclusion of the contest and the highest rated entrant will win. We have yet to have a contest where the entries are voted on directly though that would be an interesting thing to compare.

    3. Obsttorte

      Obsttorte

      Why not opening a thread for a vote for this missions. Maybe two votes, like first and second place, and than calculate it from there (by weighting the first place times two or so).

    4. nbohr1more

      nbohr1more

      Melan specified the terms and all the entrants agreed to them so we would need a consensus about that change from all entrants. Not that I object, we would just need approval from the mappers. I can open an unofficial vote thread though.

  23. Business as Usual v3... a good platform for a temperature meter system?

    2. Obsttorte

      Obsttorte

      You can either have a heat stim that tells the script that it is warm or a cold stim that tells the stim that it is cold. Depends on the mission I guess.

       

      Another idea would be to use the location system and let the script read out a temperature spawnarg on the location entities.

    3. grayman

      grayman

      In the North uses a temperature spawnarg on the location entities to determine whether to create breath puffs or not. Feel free to read the script. Look for BreathPuff().

    4. nbohr1more

      Heh. Biker is already using that script. Thanks Grayman! Now I've gotta figure out how the breath meter works to make a temperature meter GUI...
