Couldn't reproduce in 2.13

Ok, but you could also load all maps in your campaign, but in a different order. Or you could make a copy of the map and change some things. So it doesn't have to be an entirally different mission (which indeed might be too much work). So for example the first mission has an objective to place the plans to build a bridge over the river in a specific place. Then the next mission has that bridge (map1), or does not have that bridge (map2). Mapper only has to make a copy of the map and remove the bridge (and maybe a small amount of other things). I just think that having only one specific order is pretty restrictive. But if it's a lot of work to implement it might not be worth it.

Another thing, not sure if it's entirally related: If you have a campaign, you might want to have different maps loaded depending what you do in the mission. Currently there's one specific order, but it would be cool if another map could be loaded. So you could get different debriefings, but also different followup missions based on that. I don't want to derail the topic, so if needed this could be split into a new feature request.

You don't. That is one of the 3 xy views. So you have to remove one of the other ones. This is how you do it: First uncouple everything and make sure you have 2 (extra) xy-views. Move the camera-view to the side. It takes up the full height Move the first xy-view to the bottom. It takes up the full width. Move the second xy-view to the side inside the other xy-view Now you get this and you can simply resize these windows. Maybe something for in the wiki?

I could be wrong, but I think you could build a button-controled (de)briefing which shows a video on the last slide.

Is it already possible to pass information from the briefing to the mission? I don't think I ever saw this implemented apart from the starter-location selection. TDM is currelently in early dev, maybe a bit soon to start implementing in missions? I think it's better to wait for beta, so no changes will be done to the system.

Hm after testing: This does actually work fine. Both in DR and in tdm. I guess there's no point in specifing the model path, because then it only works on one specific func_static.

Could you store that somewhere? For example in Github. I'm learning Godot at the moment and might be interested in this in the future.

Is it possble to make skins for brushes/patches by conferting them to func_static? Models are func_static when you add them in DR, but in the skin file you reference them with the model name instead of the entity name. When you convert a brush/patch though, it converts it uses a model with the same name as the entity name, so in this case func_static_1 for example. Would it be enough to use that in the skin file? Allthough the wiki article states it's important to add an extension.

Ok I added info about this in on the wiki page: https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Creating_Multiple_Skins_For_A_Model

Why would that work? What's in that directory to make it work? Modified missions.tdminfo ?

It would be nice if there was a mod that just did that (giving more filter options) and nothing more. You could even combine it with other mods if you want (since 2.12 supports multiple mods).

SVN is here? https://svn.thedarkmod.com/publicsvn/darkmod_src/ no idea where these files are

Btw. if you are looking into how skins work, I thought it's good to also mention x-rays.

You can confert it to TGA first before editting?

It's strange this is not mentioned on the wiki page.. I do find it logical in program logic. Cool, didn't think of that. I wonder if it's possible to do something like this: skin one_brick_teal_blue { model models/title_models/walls/wooden_frame/straight_frame/* textures/darkmod/plaster/plaster_01 textures/darkmod/stone/brick/blocks_tealblue_dark } So you can make folders of specific models that you can skin in the same way.

Hi quick question: Is it correct that you cannot use a number as the start of a skin-name? Does this apply to all defenition type names, like materials, def, gui, etc. ? I mean, where does this rule apply and where not? I want to make sure before I add info to the wiki. Edit: No answers, so I added the info

I think in Iris. So probably a custom thing from @Wellingtoncrab. I'm personally not sure about those. If there's no stick somewhere, how can you make an arrow out of it? But it's nice they are smaller so it's more flexible for placement and can be hid better.

Your skins don't have a model specified in the skin code. How do you think it works that way? Edit: The reason this happens (I think) is that the skin name cannot start with a number. skin one_brick_teal_blue { model models/title_models/walls/wooden_frame/straight_frame/straight_frame_wall_128_x_128.ase textures/darkmod/plaster/plaster_01 textures/darkmod/stone/brick/blocks_tealblue_dark }

Minor criticism: I hope you include some backgrounds in the briefing next time. Only text is a bit of a boring read and it shouldn't have to be too difficult to include some background screenshots for example, but maybe it was intended to stay a mistery or you ran out of time.

Do you see an error/warning in the console? You could upload it so someone could take a look. Just an idea.

Is this similar how it's done in Not An Ordinary Guest?

@kingsal why doesn't this work?? Why??

The nicest thing of electronical music is that you can turn it off..

Did you set Windows to show file extensions? Otherwise a file named blabla.skin.txt shows in Windows as blabla.skin Edit: Nevermind, the screenshot shows it's a SKIN file. In general I would recomend using Notepad++ as text editor instead. I use these problem cases to (re)learn how to do things, but after copying the file and folder structure from your example with an other model, in my case the skin showed up fine.. Although putting the skin in a subfolder doesn't work for me.
