  1. The final solution for low-end GPUs:

    r_skibSubviews 1
    
    r_skipInteractions 1
    
    r_shadows 0
    
    r_ambientMinLevel 0.6

    tdm_lg_interleave  0

    If you don't get 60 fps after this then either your CPU is really slow or it's a map bug

    EDIT. tdm_lg_interleave is probably not required since r_skibSubviews supersedes it.

      Off to a good start madtaffer ! I guess if all real lights are gone the game becomes an "audio stealth only" experience...

      LOL

      If you are willing to sacrifice shadows, down-scaling textures with image_downSize should be on the table.

      I guess it's time for me to create a screen-shot with the lowest of the low settings possible:

  3. I should be able to beta test some missions. Built a new 5700G + GTX 970 system.

  4. Some of you who've been on the TDM discord know I was out of work last Winter, just putting in hrs for the developer portfolio. Currently I've been working a seasonal job to pay the bills and now I'm finally in my last week before I get bumped off. Things will be tight but I'm planning a long off period to make as much content as I can. Big plans in Unreal Engine as well as my most ambitious TDM collab yet! Never been so excited to be a stuck at home to pursue my life's work. With a lotta time and maybe some luck, I'm hoping to get enough art work done that I may start applying around to studios.

  5. Is there a console command to end the mission, won or lost?

  6. I'm going dark

    Feel free to reassign all my tickets and delete unfinished work (multi-light shaders, x-ray view, etc) in trunk

    Special thanks to @nbohr1more and @stgatilov for putting up with my countless bugs and making great company

  7. Man, who needs parallax cubemaps when you could have RTX? But seriously if they got demos of Quake 2 running it, what would it take for RTX to run on something like TDM?

      Obviously, this would be easier if... say... Nvidia were to make a demo of adding RTX to Doom 3 GPL...

      That would give us a fallback path of ambient_world baked into probes vs realtime.

      It seems that if we implemented a "probe system", RTX can feed GI probes at reasonably realtime framerates: https://www.gdcvault.com/play/1026182/

  10. Now when I'm done with the Marsh FM, going back to "almost" finished submarine mission, then to "almost" (but a bit less) finished Abandoned Kingdom TDM version...

  11. Sad day for content creators and internet users as the EU parlament just passed the higly controversal copy right reform :/ https://www.eff.org/de/deeplinks/2019/03/eus-parliament-signs-disastrous-internet-law-what-happens-next

      All part of the plan. Make copyright stronger, close the analog loophole (no headphone jack), etc. While we whinge about Trump stuff, the real big players slowly eat away at all our digital rights.

  12. So, New Zealand banned semi-autos. Not a long way from banning semi-auto handguns...

      Citizens carrying weapons is part of the checks and balances system. It's a check against police authority. Sadly, in this age, we need a new check. "The right to hack computer systems."

  13. Has anyone else experienced this bug in 2.07, if you press escape or quicksave it mutes any AI who are in the middle of conversation.

  14. 137 bugs fixed. 58 remaining. Only 30% of bugs left until a beta build for Shadows of Northdale Act 2 is ready.

      \m/ O \m/ Congrats on the progress!!! Very anticipated! :)

  15. Put an nVidia 1060 and an AMD 570 into my work PC. Vendor-specific issues should get resolved faster.

  16. Book your tickets online for TDM of the Dance 2019:

  17. I finally managed to put my foot in the door and switch careers. That means no more pressure of getting into game industry and steady work on models and maps for TDM! :)

      Cool deal. We've lost too many FM authors to "non-compete" contract clauses that prevent them from working on free projects.

  18. Tried Windbg TTD on TheDarkMod. Works well by attaching, but FPS drops to 1-2 (on smallest FM). Loading from scratch creates 25 GB trace and takes hour of indexing =)

  19. Turns on computer after months away from desk. Patiently sits as .6 tb of updates fight to install themselves all at the same time.

  20. Second morning with -35°C. Clothing is tiresome. Skin dries up. Wife is depressed. We only want to eat and sleep like bears.

      Get some yellow lighting. None of that depressing fluorescent white stuff will do. Candles too.

      Thanks guys. Sorry for the grammar mistakes. I tried to get the article up quickly while my family was out on the town. I'll be updating it with a few more changes shortly.

  21. I'm thinking about buying a cheap Radeon card and HDMI switcher to toggle between NVIDIA and AMD GPUs. Does it sound like a feasible setup?

  22. I just noticed Bikerdude was banned? When? What happened? He was one of the long standing members and content creator :o
