@AluminumHaste can you attach this? If not I can upload this tonight.

The source code has the debug symbols, you just have to compile your own executable (etc) rather than use the one from the installer. I tried to replicate on my Linux Mint desktop while in debug but thus far cannot get it to crash.

Hmm: [pid 88402] write(2, "[ALSOFT] (EE) Failed to set Ster"..., 61[ALSOFT] (EE) Failed to set Stereo, got 5.1 Surround instead ) = 61 Please post your Darkmod.cfg and the results of: ( Open console ) CTRL+ALT+ ~ ( tilde ) condump audiocrash.txt

Something is causing ALSA audio errors. One thing that modern Linux versions have issues with is running audio as a privileged user. Do you use pipewire or pulse?

Thanks! Are you running TDM with elevated privileges?

@irisx I believe our bug-tracker will accept files of that size: https://bugs.thedarkmod.com/my_view_page.php Otherwise we will gladly accept a Google Drive or Dropbox ( etc ) link.

TDM probably needs to be run under gdb and BT ( backtrace ) to gain the most detail, but we might be able to start with increasing the darkmod log verbosity: https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Reporting_Problem Just to be sure, please try deleting the mission and re-downloading it using the in-game downloader. If anyone Linux users are donwloading from Github they may be encountering the same problem I saw where the paths became the filenames. Likewise the original in-game version had two erroneous files so we need to make sure the latest version is installed and that version is via the in-game downloader.

I have fixed the package on the mirrors. For some reasons Github was renaming files to their file paths when I downloaded the package from there so had to repack the mission but I must have overlooked these. ( sorry ) I'll have to see whether different browsers behave differently but even now if I try to gather the package from github it is a mess of filenames that are supposed to be file paths.

The mission has been added to the Missions Database For players who use the Fresnel Mod, something about this mission provokes a crash with it installed. I have created a new version of the Fresnel Mod that works with this mission: https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-dark-mod/addons/fresnel-mod-211-unofficial

There were players who complained that the version number shown on the website did not match the version number shown in the mission package.

Version 2 is now in the Mission Database. As previously stated, the updater only knows when a version number goes up by a whole number so chances are the mission downloader won't signal you to update the mission. You will need to delete it from darkmod/fms ( or whatever_your_tdm_folder_is_named/fms ) and download it again.

The original 1993 SMB movie was worked on by the creators of Max Headroom. They wanted it to be a cyberpunk "allusion" to the general Mario concept. Why were these folks given the SMB project? Because Nintendo wanted to somehow "appeal to teens and adults" and expand the audience so they gave the directive to Hollywood to come up with a "mature" way to tell a Mario story. The movie was in development after Sonic and Sega were positioning themselves as the more teen oriented platform and 3DO along with other "mature CD game consoles" were on the horizon. Nintendo didn't want to be relegated to be a "kids only" console (even though that designation would later help them maintain a stronghold in family console sales). Apparently, the draft script was amazing enough to generate interest from A list actors but the studio got cold feet and started rewriting the movie to be more and more juvenile and closer to the source material of the games ( and turned it into a big mess ). I don't think it requires hindsight to understand that even leading up to the release there were lots of poor decisions around the project. 1) Other Nintendo franchises such as Zelda and Metroid were better suited to a mature story line 2) There is no cogent way to make a "mature" story that involves a Plumber entering an alternate dimension to battle an anthropomorphic Dino-Turtle that speaks English and wants marry a human woman who is native to this same dimension 3) Using allegories to Mario game features such as replacing Bowser with a malevolent Bowser-AI in a William Gibson style mind-jacked internet ( while cool ) would violate the expectations of people looking forward to a movie adaptation and lead to disappoint regardless of the resultant movie 4) Cyberpunk fiction fans would be scratching their heads about why the protagonist is a plumber and why the antagonist AI \ Cyborgs, etc are in the form of Turtles, Dinos, and Mushrooms rather than reflecting the full diversity of possible Avatars 5) You have an amazing Cyberpunk script and A list actors enthusiastic to participate in it and you decide to murder the script with rewrites rather than rebranding the project as a new science fiction film and deferring the Mario film to another team who wants to write a from scratch faithful adaptation? You can sorta see how things all added-up to the final results but it is still pretty baffling that nobody caught the problems earlier in the process.

Thus far, we have created spawnargs for noFog, noPortalFog, noFogBoundary, and spectrum variants. I am tempted to move all light attributes to entity args (which is what id Software themselves were considering according to the code comments). Material keywords make sense for surfaces with lots of different material regions and alpha blending but for lights it's easier to control their appearance via DR (etc) so entity flags work better.

The latest version has been added to the mission database.

Do you have openal installed? Did you try disabling HRTF and EFX? Does your system support multiple audio outputs ( hdmi, headphone jack, etc )? If so, can you disable unused audio hardware? Did you check the FAQ audio section at wiki.thedarkmod.com ?

If I understand correctly, if you use the v key to enter vertex edit mode this should be possible. Background: https://bugs.thedarkmod.com/view.php?id=6167

That is the plan Yes, this should cover the majority of cases where this was seen.

Yes, should be easy enough to modify the GUI. There is no hard-coded limit on the com_maxFPS cvar. BTW: You don't need to edit the config file, you can just open the console and invoke com_maxFPS 30. Rev 16795

Wrath of Khan trope all the way! Necromancer brings Karras back from the dead and he lures Garret into increasingly dangerous jobs until Garrett gets trapped in a crazy Karras compound and is taunted by the "ghost" of Karras. ( Alternately some protege or relative of Karras who wishes to avenge him, ideally a relative who has a similar personality and voice. ) Game would use an open source engine like Amnesia or The Dark Mod but would obviously have non-CC commercial assets. Mission authors can sell new fan missions or offer them for free via the in-game mission store.

@datiswous As I can tell, @stgatilov has been careful not to break backward compatibility with the 2.10 \ 2.11 subtitle implementations so I doubt you need to worry about wasting efforts. At the very least having the subtitles in "some text format" would allow us to use automated text conversion tools to update them if needed.

r_useEntityScissors 1 should work in the 2.12 dev builds. This was fixed in relation to the backend merge process.

Yeah, stgatilov fixed the performance regression before 2.11 release.

tdm_updater is no longer supported. You need to use tdm_installer: https://www.thedarkmod.com/downloads/ Windows: https://update.thedarkmod.com/zipsync/tdm_installer.exe.zip Linux: https://update.thedarkmod.com/zipsync/tdm_installer.linux64.zip The installer gives you the option to restore your Darkmod.cfg so doing that will preserve your old settings. Also, as of 2.10 only 64-bit versions are supported. If you need 32-bit you can download the full package here: https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-dark-mod/downloads/the-dark-mod-211-full To preserve your old settings for 32-bit upgrades like this, copy your old Darkmod.cfg and DarkmodKeybinds.cfg files somewhere then overwrite the new ones in your darkmod directory with your backups.

This was a very long development period! Phew! I’d like to thank Bikerdude for doing all the beta testing so we didn’t need to have a long beta testing thread.
