    Hi Congratiolations on the release.

    Can you change this line in:

    - "Story" subtitles are available for this FM. Simply go to Settings --> Audio and select "Story" or "On"  for the subtitles setting.

    The "On" setting shows the story subtitles together with the AI-barks. You make it sound like you specifically need the story setting to get the story subtitles.

    What are the 2.11 specific features?

  2. Controlling Where the Player Starts gui file

    It seems from the topic description that he wanted it for one of his own missions, but I haven't found any of his mission briefings that have this..

    I wonder if the modified mainmenu_briefing.gui could be recreated somehow from the info available.

    Edit: I see now that DR allows you to create multiple info_player_start entities (just copy the main one), didn't know that. Maybe it isn't so difficult to implement..

    I'll be adding a section to the Briefing wiki page, and--following the precedent set in the "Button Controlled Animated Briefing" section--it will use a link to retrieve the updated gui file.

     

    I can put the file up on mediafire, but should there also be a more official place to retrieve it from?

    This is how things get lost... 😭

    Thanks, but @DeTeEff's mission might not be based on this method. In the wiki article grayman writes about linked options in the briefing text that is not limited by the 3 difficulty levels, while Not an Ordinary Guest has the 3 player roles be based on the dificulty levels. You could start in a hotel and decide which of the 30 rooms you start in (just an example).

    It would be weird if this is all implemented in core, but nobody has a clue how it works. It could also be that the wiki states enough info, but I don't get it yet.

    Oh I see now there is also a topic:

    In fact in the topic's first post grayman writes:

    Quote

    (I'm not interested in changing the starting point using the Difficulty settings.)

    So then this is indeed another method.

    I have an Iiyama XB2483HSU (AMVA) as my main monitor and on the side I have an Eizo Flexscan S2231W (SPVA)

    So 24" 16:9 main and 22" 16:10 on the side.

    Or otherwise maybe opt for oled..

    This missing material I found in TDM 2.03:

}

     

    This does have vertex program code (arb?) still in it, not sure if really needed.

    This is how it looks ingame (when I add the material to the fms material folder):

    Not sure if this is how it's supposed to look, but better than nothing.

     

     

    This texture now shows up fine (previously I reported there was a black square on it). Maybe Dragofer fixed it for 2.11:

    Well I do use a VA type screen, so good black level because of high contrast. Might be different when using ips. But I can't say how it compares to crt.

    Quote

    In short, if you're often using your computer in a dark room, a VA panel is the way to go, as it's the only LCD panel type that can produce deep blacks in a dark room.

  18. Controlling Where the Player Starts gui file

    in TDM Editors Guild

    Posted · Edited by datiswous

    https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Briefing#Controlling_Where_the_Player_Starts

    On the section about "Controlling Where the Player Starts" there is a download link, but it's a dead link. Does somebody have this altered mainmenu_briefing.gui ? Or otherwise, is there a mission where it's used?

    I thought maybe it could be added to core, to the same file, but have that section editted out by default, or make a renamed version? Same for Button Controlled Animated Briefing and Timed Flowing Briefing (although maybe without the example images), I think they should be things in core. Doesn't take up much space and then they never get lost.

  21. Fan Mission: Now and Then by joebarnin (2020/09/08)

    I was wondering why during playback in the center you see a giant cursor:

      Reveal hidden contents

    Edit: I was looking at the original video file and it does not have the giant cursur in it. Maybe a gui or mtr related bug?

    Indeed it is. If I change the code in finale.gui Into:

    Spoiler 
    windowDef Desktop
{
  rect 0 ,0 ,640 ,480 // Standard element to define nominal grid, e.g., for placing and sizing buttons
  backcolor 1,1,1,0
  matcolor 0, 0, 0, 1
  nocursor 1
  background "video/finale"; // mp4 shader defined in materials/cutscene_video.mtr file.

  onTime 0
  {
     nocursor 1 // This work ONLY in this location, not in Desktop or after reset/matcolor here
     resetCinematics; // reset Video to start
     Desktop::matcolor 1,1,1,1; // show video
     // Doesn't work: localsound "video/cutscene_video"; // shader as defined in sound/cutscene_video.sndshd
  }
}

     

    And now the giant cursor doesn't show:

    Spoiler

    I made nocursor 1 toplevel as described here. It's probably ok to remove the other non-toplevel nocursor 1, but I couldn't, because otherwise the quicksave near the end doesn't load anymore.
