So I thought this is normal TDM behaviour. But then I found it's not happening on Windows. Also, when I alt-tab to desktop, the mouse is still gone, keyboard navigation is possible. Why is this happening on mission load? What is the purpose?

You could ask one of the moderators. @greebo?

So i.m.o. yellow reads better than white, but I think it's too strong. I think a color between yellow and white would be better, so I guess a lighter yellow.

It has Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8650U CPU with 16gb ram? Should be powerful enough I think..

I read @greebo stated obj is also possible, but it has to be specified in a config file..

Would it be possible instead of using darkening to apply blur to the background of subtitles? Just a hunch.

I think this doesn't looks very nice. I think it's best to make the background the same width as the subtitle block. What do others think? Are we going for the background look, or are we going for the black outline? It's not clear to me what the current direction is, but the outline looks nicer and it seems a waste to try to implement something that doesn't get chosen anyway.

Ok, yeah I guess I can make a profile for TDM. Anyway, I thought v-sync would be smart, but it seems making the framerate go high, makes everything much smoother, so I don't really understand why one needs v-sync.

It does make it less fat. You can see this in the screenshot I posted. So saying it does nothing is simply not true. It has it's uses, but I'm not sure how important it is. Also, the color options seem a bit too basic.

Pretty nice mission overall. A bit linear maybe. It's also quite clear I think that this is grayman's first mission. Or maybe it's just a very old mission. I thought the end cutscene is especially really nice.

Here The subtitles for this fm. Made with help of Whisper. All the subtitles for voices are there and fully tested. 2 conversations: Some drunk thug talking to himself (start of mission). A Builder guard and a Builder bishop having a conversation (end of mission). I made changes to 2 srt files (everything is srt, no inline), the rest was already correct. Edit: subtitles added to mission.

These are usually only given to users that are more active on the forum, so we kind of know what to expect.. (I could be wrong). What do you want to add/change?

I recommend to edit the darkmod.txt file and change: Title: Somewhere Above the City 1.1 Description: Retrieve a stolen Builder artifact. Author: by grayman Required TDM Version: 1.02 To: Title: Somewhere Above the City Description: Retrieve a stolen Builder artifact. Author: by grayman Version: 1.1 Required TDM Version: 1.02

So I encountered this weird thing. In fm The black Mage in the ingame-cutscene right after the intro-video the financial adviser (guy in red) doesn't have a position icon above all their subtitles: The black mage does:

You can only set colors afaik. subs_braeden_church_color_disco.pk4

There's no such setting in Linux driver:

Since upgrading my gpu to an nVidia RTX 3060, I can only set v-sync via driver setting Sync to Vblank. At least I thought that's what that setting does. Enabling V-sync in TDM does nothing. I use Manjaro Linux xfce Both TDM 2.11 and 2.12

Some test: Changed the textalignx and textaligny from 0.5 and -0.5 to 0.3 and -0.3 z_Subs_212_NoBG_White_vdatiswous030.pk4

Colored text shows normally like this: But with Snatcher's subtitle look the colored subtitles look now extremely bolted: I guess this does make it more useful for emphasis, but a little less bolting would be better.

I tried it. I don't get this behavior what @snatcher has (maybe performance related?), but the background is misaligned somehow:

For testing purposes, here is the list of fm's with (story) subtitles (in case you didn't know): Braeden Church is probably best, because it has a conversation right after loading and the loading is fast (small mission). There is a bright area left of the conversation scene.

The newest version currently is 3.8.0. You could try previous versions (on Windows): https://www.darkradiant.net/download.html to see at which version you get the crash and to not miss too many features with your prehistorical old version 2.8. You can download a portable version of each, although the settings are shared, so it's not really portable.

Have you tried Grim Dawn? There's even a very good mod that recreates Diablo 2 called Reign of terror.

I made Subtitle files with help of Whisper. This uses only srt files. No inline subs. Edit: subtitles added to mission.
