      I think what actually made me pull the trigger was with some missions actually recommending it for side-benefits like volumetric lighting (e.g. Noble Affairs).

      Ok, but that benefit is not any more since 2.11

      I upgraded my cpu in 2013 and my gpu in 2018. Stencil shadows gives me a huge performance boost usually. Gpu's get outdated more quickly?

    The cool part of Canonical's Snap, is that my machine can now ray-trace an entire (simple) scene faster than it takes the web browser to start!

    Fm idea (braindump)

    "Experience the life of a mission builder"

    Esentially there are finnished elements placed somewhere in storage in the game and you have to place them in the correct places, build some walls here and there, add guard routes, give them their correct speech lines, etc. Decorate the places.. all in-game. lots of fun.. 😉

    If you do it right in the end you can play the mission.

    (would be even cooler if a thief-ai could play the mission, making it some kind of tower-defence game)

     

    This first started as an idea for an aquarium builder mission where-in you have to fill an empty aquarium with sand, waterplants, castles water and swimming fish. But above idea is more fun.

    I know I'm not active much, but it feels a bit too silent in here. Is everyone taffing around, again?

      I asked Chatgpt:

      As an AI language model, I don't have access to current statistics or any recent updates about the forum. However, there could be a variety of reasons why it might seem quiet on the forums:

      1. The Dark Mod community may have migrated to other online platforms or social media channels.

      2. The latest release or update of the game, which may have reduced the number of forum users' needs for support.

      3. Forum members might have moved on from the game or are taking a break for an extended period.

      4. Other members might be inactive and haven't logged in for some time.

      5. There may be a lack of new discussions or news updates happening within the community, which could discourage users from participating.

      These are some potential reasons why it might seem quiet on the forums, but the official Dark Mod website or social media accounts could provide more context.

      I think point 2 is interesting..

    Dear ChatGPT, What are The Builders in the Dark Mod?

     

    The Builders is a popular game mode in the video game community called "Dark Mod," which is a fan-made tribute to the classic "Thief" series of stealth games. In this game mode, players assume the role of builders who construct structures in a dark and ominous environment while trying to avoid detection by patrolling guards.

    The Builders game mode is unique in that it offers players the opportunity to create and design their own levels using the in-game tools and resources provided. Players can experiment with different building materials, construct intricate traps and puzzles, and create their own unique gameplay experiences.

    While The Builders game mode is not an official part of the Dark Mod, it has become one of the most popular and well-loved aspects of the game, thanks to its emphasis on creativity, strategy, and stealth.

     

    You guys did not know that, did you?

    The Dark Mod 2.11 is out!

      Hey @nbohr1more Media page on website is borked:

      https://www.thedarkmod.com/media/

      (it looks like the Nextgen gallery plugin doesn't work anymore sitewide)

      Edit: Ah somebody seems to be working on it now. I wonder why a description list is used though..

      Having a lightbox + slideshow plugin would be a good idea.

       

      Maybe it's also good to upload some more (recent) screenshots and/or other media? We could make some sort of competition and the highest ratest screenshots will be placed on the media page? This could also influx some more TDM play (of 2.11).

    Perhaps an unpopular opinion: TDM team might benefit from someone with actual QA experience; someone with naturally and professionally developed curiosity, who is interested in how and why things work, how they break :D At least to me it's kind of mind-boggling how untested some rather important features are (first the absence alert feature for items, now the rope +body carry behavior).

    I just figured out how to make subtitles work in TDM (srt) for ingame cutscenes and how to automatically generate the srt file in Kdenlive's speech recognition (I just had to edit it a bit).

    Kdenlive is a free and open source multiplatform pretty advanced video editor.

    Test case is the first builder gost scene in Requiem saying: 

    1
00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:02,140
the builder be with you this night

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04,840
there will be secrets all around you

3
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:06,439
so have a keen eye

    The following page gives you the basic info:

    https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Subtitles

    These 2 tutorials give you the info for creating the srt files:

    If you run into the problem the Kdenlive cannot find your Python PATH, then here is a solution:

    https://www.mail-archive.com/kde-bugs-dist@kde.org/msg672183.html

    Edit: During the installation of Python, in the installer, if you select more options, you can specify to set the PATH. I tried this on another Windows computer and this fixed the issue. Much easier solution.

     

    This is all the code for the testcase:

    Spoiler

    fm_root.subs file in subtitles folder in fm's root: 

    // Requiem subtitles

subtitles fm_root {
    verbosity story
    srt "sound/voices/Hanno1.ogg" "subtitles/hanno1.srt"
}

    hanno.srt file in same folder: 

    1
00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:02,140
the builder be with you this night

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04,840
there will be secrets all around you

3
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:06,439
so have a keen eye

     

     

    Maybe I will create a seperate (text,images based) tutorial on the wiki.

    1. datiswous

      datiswous

      Yeah I will do that. I think I will put the info in a thread in TDM Editors guild first and when I have more experience I make a wiki article.

      I guess at some point every speech could have subtitles, including all core ai speech. @nbohr1moreis it already possible to integrate subtitles for all the tdm_sound_vocals ? Or is this still only fm based?

      Well, I think it's pretty amazing, but maybe it's nothing new..

      It still does take some time lining the generated text in the right place and fixing some text mistakes (not too many, but builders seems a difficult word for vosk).

      Got it working on Linux quite easily.

      I might have to put this info in a separate topic so it doesn't get hidden so quickly.
