  1. If we help Biker with his driver performance problems he'll stop trying to optimize his upcoming mission... Talk about conflict of interest :)

  2. Comparing older versions TDM 1.02 = 30 FPS vs TDM 2.07 over 80 FPS. Same mission same hardware. 2.07 with all eye-candy.

      Oh wait... is this the version where lightgem was processed by capturing screenshot into a named pipe?

      Yes. LOL.

       

      Suprisingly, tdm_lg_split works really well in 1.02. To think of all the extra performance I could've had when playing back then...

  3. TDM is now the number 11 most popular mod at Moddb. Nearly 2000 visits and climbing...

      Glad to see a Thief mod getting good exposure. Nice to know there's still an apatite for some good immersive sims yet.

  5. Endarchy mod for Doom 3 has some pretty nice texture work...

      Hexen is outstanding for fans of the originals. Grimm has promise but it's a little barren of diversity as of yet.

      We don't have both sides of the story here. Its a statement of fact that Greek officials are a cesspit of corruption, bribery and liars. So its highly probable the devs are being used as scapegoats.

      Good news, got a PM from Dram, so he wasn't one of the two devs etc.

  10. According to this Japanese site. Even "Weak People" can design missions for TDM: https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://www.nurs.or.jp/~pine/hot-darkmod.htm&prev=search

      @nbhor - have you updated moddb with the latest version -1.1?

      I found that two files were missing from the Visual Studio solution. Have you ever considered a unified build system like CMake?

    3. nbohr1more

      nbohr1more

      It was discussed. We agreed it was a good way forward but whoever merged the changes would need to document all the setup and compile details so it would be seamless for those who do not fiddle with compile infrastructure. Then it was never implemented. We are in a better position now since we already have Dhewm changes in source.

    4. nbohr1more

      THANK YOU to whomever fixed the SVN trunk!

      Sorry, I just saw Baddcog debating so heavy Teef supporters over at TTLG and it tripped my insanity alert level. I'll have grayman fix that for nbohr1more v 2.03

      The big issue is DoomEdit and Dmap as I recall. The former is not too much of a problem while the latter is a bit tricky. I think there's a non-mfc DMAP project though...

    3. SteveL

      SteveL

      I'm going to have to put that on the ever-lengthening list of stuff I'd *like* to get to. I've done a few full step-throughs of dmap while researching some bsp errors in the summer.I mean full -- 8 hours solid F11-ing for a test map with 7 brushes -- and I don't remember any weird library dependencies. One to look at.

    4. nbohr1more

      nbohr1more

      yeah, one day at a time... and try to stick to stuff you like working on so you don't lose enthusiasm...

  15. NewDark has Object LOD now. Maybe folks will be able to play Soul Tear's missions on low-end systems now. ;)

      Could help with new versions of EP. They could include LOD assets so all missions automatically benefit.

      Has there been a new NewDark release?

    4. nbohr1more

      nbohr1more

      The latest NewDark is now in both Tfix and TafferPatcher.

  16. Turned off image downsizing to see if it was causing a graphic glitch. Forgot to turn it back on and (surprisingly) PD2 loaded without crashing. I was not prepared for the visual boost. It's a crime to play this without full texture\bump quality.

      SteveL

      nboh1more, could you retry the water shader again without downsizing please? You just made me think of a reason why it might have worked on my mum's old intel laptop but now yours. One of my depth lineraization formulas assumes the texture is larger than screen space. Whoops. Although by rights soft particles shouldn't have worked either... or maybe you got no fadeout at all of the particles!

      *but not yours

      *linearization

    4. nbohr1more

      nbohr1more

      I will retry but soft particles work just fine :)

  17. The Dark Mod is in Moddb's Top 100 list yet again! Thanks for the votes!

  18. So serpentine left LATC loading in the mod after all? Gonna see if my intel GPU works with the latest drivers..

      LATC is 3Dc in OpenGL.

    4. nbohr1more

      nbohr1more

      Nope, my Drivers only support RGTC :( I'll try to copy support for that into Image_load.cpp when I get a chance.

  19. Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?

      Maybe it's because 2 of the 4 were actually from the 4th of Januari while the other 2 were released on the first of april.
