Fps uncapped under advanced settings?

Both look fine to me. I guess the bottom shot is less obtrusive.

If you can please bisect down to which 2.10 dev build caused the breakage, it will be easier to fix things: Thank you!

The noPortafog light doesn’t inherently force portals open. Instead is just disables the fog optimization which prematurely closes portals at the fog opaque radius. I suppose a more clever thing to do would be culling any non-lit and non-emissive objects past the fog radius but that’s a pretty tough thing to do especially since shadows can sometimes get made by offscreen objects (etc). Before something like that we would probably want something like Quake’s func_occluder as a generic line-of-sight culling feature.

Yep, add this to your darkmod/materials folder: tdm_decals_misc.mtr

Doesn't sound right. I'll check to see whether any materials were changed in dev in relation to that...

Another option is to unpack the tdm_base01.pk4 and copy the glprogs into it then repack it. : )

C:\darkmod\glprogs\<all the shader files>

You'll also need the latest glprogs ( shaders ) attached below. glprogs.zip

Should be a zip containing TheDarkModx64.exe. If the exe is missing, your browser or security software might be stripping it?

Just add the spawnargs “noPortslFog” “1” to any foglight entity. I can only build Linux binaries so perhaps @AluminumHaste can get you a Windows build if you want to check it out before the next dev build release.

https://bugs.thedarkmod.com/view.php?id=6282 Added the entity flag in Rev 10344. Should be in the next 2.12 Dev Build.

I confirmed that the noPortalFog material flag fixes this behavior: Modified delta1_fog material def: // legacy fog material fogs/delta1_fog { fogLight noShadows noPortalFog // prevents fog distance from closing portals { map _fog alpha 0.5 colored } } I'll look into added an entity flag because that's way more convenient than using override materials.

Did you try editing the tdm_installer.ini ? One of the mirrors might have network issues reaching your system.

Thank you for the details and test map! I will try to get testing done tonight but I see that our engine still has support for the "noportalfog" global material keyword. There may already be a noportalfog light material in our repo that we can test ( converted from Doom 3 ). Too bad it's not an entity spawnarg but I think I can add that too.

Yeah, name_attach sounds like the way to go. If it doesn't work, please attach a test map so we can evaluate

Yes, that is the proposal. I believe this technique should work for other entity types too. Only brushes would be immune to this method AFAIK.

Hmm, the only other thing I can think of is creating an invisible entity within the region you want lights (etc) to be seen and using def_attach to connect it to the affected lights and emitters so the portal calculation thinks the entity is closer to you? @Dragofer @duzenko perhaps we need a new noFogBoundary flag option?

Did you add the noFogBoundary keyword to your foglight entity? https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Light_Properties#noFogBoundary

Did you update to the latest version of "House of Locked Secrets" ? What CPU and GPU ( and driver versions )?

Glad to help Welcome aboard!

I think you may have started with an older New Job version. I would delete it and re-run tdm_installer to grab the lasted one.

Glad to assist and welcome to The Dark Mod community!

@MaxisoDenoth If this is using Intel HD4000 graphics, do you have the latest driver installed? https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/products/81499/graphics/intel-hd-graphics-family/intel-hd-graphics-4000.html
