  1. Stumbled upon a documentary on Enki Bilal, he is one of the most influential comic book artists of my adolescence. English auto-subtitles is rubbish, so you might need to brush up on your French ;)

      I love his stories and art.

      There are no auto-subtitles in English available.

      I guess the best way is to download the video and download or otherwise auto-generate subtitles and hope for the best.

  2. Personal reminder for me to actually get back to TDM and all the missions I missed.

      Started playing Prey (2016) again and yesterday xcom 1 and 2. I think I like xcom 1 a bit more for some reason.

      It reminds me a lot of Star Craft 2 actually. I mean the base area gameplay.

  3. Yo TDMers.
    It has been a while.  This past year or so I have encountered some tough family issues, became a grandfather, had a job change, and then Steam offered Dishonored and Dishonored 2 along with all DLC for like 5 dollars.  So... have played that.  What a game; highly recommend.

    I am looking to resume TDM activity soon.

      Maybe @Frost_Salamandercould include them in the tdm github repo, if that still excists.

      Are you not using layers in DR? It seems like it from the view.

      (I don't have a Twitch account I think, so can't comment there yet)

  6. While updating my first FM, I noticed a lot of silly things I did because I was still new to DR. For example, there was a model for a wheel that I wanted the player to be able to turn that had its origin off-center. I didn't know I could just re-export the model inside DR to fix its origin, so instead that wheel triggers a func_mover it's bound to. A silly solution in retrospect, has anyone else made somewhat janky or roundabout solutions to technical challenges in their maps? I'd love to hear about 'em!

      @AmadeusI think there's some info about doing this here: https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Combined_light_entities#Turning_lights_off/on

      (Maybe completely unrelated: A while ago I found that some light holders with dev-attached lights don't have a name-attach spawnarg in their dev, so you have to add it manually yourself to make some stuff work. I forgot to report it)

      Uhh yeah I don't understand the texture tool either. I wonder how many people understand/use it.

      Edit: Just tried again and figured it out.

  8. Whenever I eat fried chicken these days I think of this scene in The Black Mage..

  9. I just bought/build a new pc, so probably less performance related whining from my part from now on..

    Sorry in advance!

    Here are the specs

      Luckily 2.13 has uncapped on by default now.

  10. Where is the "Game Connection" element in the Linux version of DR? I could swear, I saw that in an older build (which I conveniently deleted a few days ago).

    1. datiswous

      datiswous

      I'm currently using the Flatpack version. I think there are 4 install options in Linux.

      I think it only shows up if you go to menu Window > Game connection

      And yeah I think they changed this in a recent version of DR

      I'm using 3.9 on Linux and it's there

  12. Bikerdude makes some of the best maps for The Dark Mod. They're usually a little bit challenging, but not unreasonably so. I would also recommend Business as Usual for anyone who enjoyed this map.

      So I guess it could be that a large part of that fm is actually made by Dram?

  15. Does anyone know if the mission/map in this video posted by @Springheel can still be found somewhere and played? Looks like fun.

      Yeah Springheel already answered that on tdm Discord.

  16. Cool thing: Thanksgiving break means I don't have to get my son up before dawn

    Not cool thing: My son stays up all night on my PC so I don't get much TDM time...

  17. Today I started writing readables for my WIP mission.

    I wrote my usual text and then crammed it into AI and boom, high quality stuff comes out.

    I used to say that clipper is the mappers best friend, but now it seems it is more like "AI is the mappers best friend."

      oday, I began writing readable content for my work-in-progress mission.

      I drafted my usual text and then fed it into an AI tool, and voilà—high-quality material emerged!

      When testing your mission I was thinking that those readable could have some improvements.

  18. Hey @Ansome, are you still around? I think it's been about 3 months since you've had an issue with an SSD, right?

      And I use ai to generate subtitles from voice files.

  20. Just saw further into 2.13 development, or is it 2.14? Anyway, proper Parallax Mapping...Absolutely fuck yes, please!

  21. This site is getting more popular by the day - ca. 870 bots online this morning CET!

      So the percentage of logged in users is going down in comparison to the amount of "guests".
