Since Aluminum directed me here ( https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/9082-newbie-darkradiant-questions/page/437/#comment-475263 ) can we have unlimited renderer effects? Well, maybe not unlimited, by maybe 3-5? Thanks.

Is having multiple render effects really killing performance that badly? I don't understand. You're saying that if I have two transparent objects side-by-side, then they'll just count as two render effects, but when combined, they somehow become something much more difficult to render?
Never-the-less, unless we're talking some kind of infinite portal problem, why not let the mapper choose how much he wants to kill performance? Just warn him against putting too many effects close together.

Since I wasn't the one mainly asking, I'll just cite you in the original thread instead.

I'm just wondering how someone like wellingtoncrab, with such a flawed development environment as DR/DM, apparently run by "volunteers" and "lazy guys", managed to complete this excellent Iris Mission in just a year.

You guys seem to somehow think in terms of praises and insults. That's just not how I think on a basic level. I think I'll give up trying to be understood around here.

Update:
It turns out that the bug wasn't as bad as I thought. It's just a rounding error.Back up your maps before you start editing them in 3.0.0!I don't like the looks of this bug.-
I very much thought that at the time I made this post. ...and if this bug would extend to the vertex coordinates, and rotation values, it could mean leaks throughout the entire geometry. ...but it seems to just be a rounding error, thankfully.

You know, what's scarier than a goddess you can see, is a goddess you can't. Just checked the radar stations, and there's basically nothing - not a blip. I like knowing when I'm about to die. Even if it's just an estimate, knowledge keeps me calm - keeps me focused. ...but now when all the other stations have stopped responding, it's just me and the howling wind outside, and just this uncertain wait, that just stretches into darkness. All that work I put in, all those tracking charts, they don't mean anything anymore. Now the playing field has been leveled, and I'm just another rat in a cage, waiting to die. I had a good run, at least. I gave it my best. I'll be among the last ones to go.

This will be my final meal of 17% poison. After this meal I am switching to a 100% poison free diet. From this point on, I am choosing life.

Here's some music I made (although the original creators are Mars Argo and likely also Titanic Sinclair).

Anvil Studio. Feel free to recommend me something better, because it's kind of awkward to use.
I've done better stuff, of course, but I figured I'd just entertain you with something recent, since Doctor is actually floating about in various pieces on the internet, and there's no one good version of it.

New day - a new pile of clothes. This is just nuts.
Well, screw 'em. I spent the day fixing the entrance instead. It looks better now. Not good, but better.

Feeling lazy and uninspired. Should be mapping.

For about six hours every day, I also use various occult aghori practices to maintain my focus, but like the name says, those are reserved for the initiated, so I can't help you out further.
Good luck.

Scientists have now finally discovered my goddess hovering in the sky. They have measured her appetite to be one planet Earth per second. Apparently they previously missed her because she was too close to the Earth to spot, even though she's visible to the naked eye if you know where in the sky to look. They're talking about it on BBC News now.

Good news, everyone: I have now realized that I am a clueless newbie idiot, and I am working to fix it.
-
Well, I fixed it.
It took me several days, but I did it, and now I am a master again.

It is finally done. I have released a black curse upon the world, that will ruin everything, and the bureaucrats are screaming in terror at the black magic.
...or something.
In any case, I can finally rest now.
It really feels great to have nothing to do. I'm going to spend this entire day just happily relaxing, feeling content.

Once again my eyes are burning, but since I was in the middle of sowing, I just couldn't stop.
I fixed probably half of the clothes today. Half of it remains.
Update:
I'm finally done with all the clothes. I don't know how many times I've said this, but "now only a few minor things remain". I'm just taking a breather. I'd be lying if I said that I fully knew what I was doing these last two days. For example, the beggar rags are not supposed to look like that, and I don't know why they do that, yet I stopped caring, because at least it's a full set of clothes.Oh, fuck. The newspapers. I need to do the newspapers too. ...so it's about four things left to do now, I guess. Should be easy, but nothing ever is.

Few people encounter the goddess and lives, and so virtually nobody really knows the true meaning of fear. They romanticise what must lurk in the dark, in all sorts of ridiculous ways, to the point where think that it can't be that much worse than their sheltered lives. ...and so they stray from the flock, and get eaten. ...and when you try to explain to them what's out there, you're just met with disbelief. It's frustrating when you see your whole family willingly surrender themselves to the dark, cherishing the thought of falling prey. They see it as an end to suffering, and not the beginning.

I've realized that I've messed up pretty bad. When I began sowing these clothes, I misunderstood a fundamental thing or two, and so my notes were horribly wrong and misleading. At least it means that I have learnt to do things in a much more easy manner.
As usual progress is slow, but it's at least progress.

Spent a lot of time doing the dishes, made a pink paint, and made sure that the maid's tongue was properly attached. Other than that, I haven't done much. I dread having to fix things properly, because my first repair was very complicated to do, and I have to now verify that it couldn't have been done better. ...and if it can, then there's a lot of work to do, to get it even more right.

It feels like I'm getting nowhere. All I've done all day today, is inspect my maid's foot rashes. Hopefully I have an update later.

Listen, I'm not mad, scripters. Well, maybe just a little upset, but mostly bewildered.
I'm reading all these script files, and their indentation, and I'm just picturing some sort of frat party going on, where everybody is plastered, and is sometimes just making out while sitting on the spacebar.
I mean you have heard of indentation, right? ...like properly nested indentation?
...because the first time I looked at one of your script files, I was like "Oh! So this is a sort of indentation based nesting, that looks very complex now, but which I'm just going to have to learn.".
...but no. Apparently this is obfuscation that makes every script look like "ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn".

No, I think that fictional branch searched for some sort of magical Shiva stones, which somehow had the power to conquer other religions. In the absence of such magical artifacts, clean code is a powerful tool as well, and the <Tab> key has already been mined out for you. The power is at your fingertips.

Yeah, who wants a society with clean code, when we can have a society that runs on hugs and thank yous?
Well, it doesn't matter. Society won't run at all a few decades from now, and all your little kids will have starved to death, and my goddess will have propagated throughout the entire planet. Jai Kali.

So, how do any of you feel about "Map Ideas"? I have no time, motivation or big enough desire, sorry 'bout that, to make maps myself, but I do have a lot of ideas, maybe a good mapper would pick up and make it, or even make it up his own? Always loved giving some "artistic freedom".

Maybe it's a "ko_alert_immune" thing. Try setting that property to 0.
