  1. My Uber rating (as a passenger) is 4.71. Is there still hope or should I just kill myself? What's yours?

  2. I find it alarming that 5 missions with 2.10-only elements take 15% of space among all 158 released missions.

      You're looking at this all wrong. Every new mission that comes out with custom assets should be a big thank you for contributing to the core game. No reason they can't be added.

      Nobody should be making assets for tdm with the express intent of a single release/use.

      Filtered looks better to me anyways. Though I like the old style pixels of the left image too, it looks out of place with the quality of the mod.

  4. What's the console command to show the player coordinates (for beta testing)? I think it used to be using getviewpos like this but it seems to have been improved since? @AluminumHaste

      I got this from another forum member

       

      bind "F12" "con_noprint 0;wait;wait;wait;getviewpos;wait;wait;wait;screenshot;con_noprint 1"

  5. When I was a young man my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have him around. As I grew older I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in such a short time.

      Try your memory (if it can) at 2666Mhz, which should match the infinity fabric and get the best performance.

      Especially 1st Gen ryzen was very susceptible to cache issues, running dual channel was recommended and also keeping the timing as low and tight as possible often yielded impressive gains.

      I got another 20 fps in most games on my 2700X from setting RAM to 3600Mhz and getting the timings down from 24 to 16. All without touching overclocking the CPU itself.

  8. After I added one more CVar today, we now have exactly 1,000 (one thousand) cvars in total

    This is an important landmark in the history of cvar creation 🤣

    Use the listCvars command in game console to check

  9. The Playing Field is going to be streaming himself developing a map for the Dark Mod every Sunday:

  10. It's been fun, but I am no longer able to dedicate time to DR. Thanks to everyone for all your help over the past few years and to the team for keeping alive what I call, "the golden age" of stealth play. After much consideration, I am quitting the games industry. This includes all indie projects.

      Good luck!

      Maybe just make a port in the I want to help thread with a link to your repository.

  11. Since the tax software industry is hiding the fact that they must now let you complete taxes for free when you fall within a certain financial bracket, it seems fair that we spread this story. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/04/26/us_tax_turbotax/

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

      Ummm what? Having to chase down each and every person and stab them is not even close to slowly walking through a crowd at 600 rounds a minute.

      Even that one in Japan involved people who were unable to flee.

      The worst one I could find involved a crowded train station in China, with 8 people with knives. They averaged ~4 dead per attacker. If those 8 people had automatic rifles, they could have killed every single person in that place in under 10 minutes.

      Guns make mass killings...

  13. Now I'm sad. TheMasterFoundry has cancelled his channel, even though he had some very good TDM content there. :( His Training Mission playthrough was probably the best, bar none. A pity we've lost those vids.

  14. Best community I've ever been, didn't expect less from Thief fans <3

  15. 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! :)

      Well good luck! I hope everything turns out great.

      Does that mean you've given up on the games industry for now?

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

  18. [DUMB] I can't get stencil SS to work. Went as far as Dec 208 in svn.What cvar could it be?

  19. Would the skyglow amplification caused by falling/fallen snow be a visual factor in TDM missions (or cities from hundreds of years ago)? Or is it only noticeable with today's modern lighting?

      And it was a very close vote as is 318-278, so next round with minor changes could go through.
