[Fan Mission: Eye on the Prize (4/1/2024)]

Is this a burglars request thread?

 

Edit: This question was raised onto the original title of this thread, which looked somewhat like a request for players of sorts.

Im experiencing a crash on loading quick saves in my work in progress FM.

Is that a crash to desktop without error?

Is that the name of your book? I looked up the word and it could easilly mean a 100 different things.

Young Writers Association?

Maybe you could make some kind of modules that other game designers could use in their game.

[Aspect ratio looks like invalid out of the box]

Maybe post a bit more info on the problem in a forum topic starter text?

Yeah for me it looks like this:

(I apply extra css to the forum styling)

That's off course my own problem. But it would be nice if people do not copypaste (with style included) in the forum text.

Could you elaborate on that?

[Sad News 😢 (but fm release?) [MAKE BELIEVE/NOT REAL/FAKE]]

It's kind of hard to read though...

Spoiler

 

Does this include an actual fm though?

This comes out of nowhere. I first thought this was an April 1 joke.

I can take the red pill...

Make a mission. Having some possible features:

• multiple mission starter points
• some sort of automap
• teleportation between areas (why not?)
• conversation / monologues  (yes: including subtitles)
• x-ray screen(s)

Or,

I can take the blue pill...

Spoiler

I just wait for all the wonderful missions created and know I could be one of them, but I choose not to...

Good motivation for me to finally try to make a mission.

If you ever need help with mapping, you can try these tutorials.

[Public access to development versions]

The standard info above the inventory grid is ALL, but it's with black letters, so hard to see on a dark background (and usually in TDM it's Dark). If you click on it and cycle through it becomes white:

Maybe just make it White by default?

[Interface layout question]

Maybe removing the user.xml in AppData\Roaming\DarkRadiant . Not sure.

[Darkradiant takes over mouse when freezing during entitylist loading]

Doesn't help. The moment I move to check out an entity and then move back to the Entity list, The mouse click and scroll is locked. I can move it around, but clicking is not possible (I can scroll in firefox for example with the keyboard just fine, so DR clearly takes over the mouse for no reason at all), until the entity list is remade.

[Interface layout question]

Maybe this helps you:

 

[Darkradiant takes over mouse when freezing during entitylist loading]

My recent experience makes clear that the mouse can be moved, but no click is possible. After Entity list is loaded, everything works fine again.

[The Dark Mod 15th Anniversary Contest ? ( POLL ADDED )]

No this was specific to @STiFU, but he could say the same to me I guess..

[Darkradiant takes over mouse when freezing during entitylist loading]

Hm strange. I had this especially with fm High Expectations. Maybe it could be related to the Flatpack install

[Allow broadhead arrows to break glass lamps]

There should just be a spawnarg which is set to 0 by default.

[Darkradiant takes over mouse when freezing during entitylist loading]

When I open the entitylist DR freezes a while while loading the entitylist. On very large missions this can be very long. At that moment at first it seemed the whole system freezes, but I found that I can still use the rest of the system with the keyboard, but not with the mouse.

System: Manjaro Linux xfce

Version DR: 3.8 Flatpack install

I always loved the "connections" theme and I think it is very fitting to celebrate TDM.

I give you an extra star if you make a mission with a "connections" theme.

[Newbie DarkRadiant Questions]

I guess what I can do is open the map in a text editor and search for the entity by name, that gives me the entity number. Then I can go to menu Map -> Brush and there typ in the entity nr.

I find it strange that even in DR version 3.8, there seems to be no direct way to search for entities by name. I mean, this should be on top of the list 10 versions ago I would think

[Newbie DarkRadiant Questions]

Yeah the problem is that the entity list makes DR freeze for a couple of minutes with some extremelly large maps. During the freeze it takes over the mouse, so you can't use it in other applications. With the keyboard I can still do everything outside DR.

Also I cannot copypaste text in the searchbox in the entity list. That gives an error.

[Newbie DarkRadiant Questions]

Could someone tell me again how to search for entities by name? I always forget.

[Define more than one map filename for a mission]

So since nobody knows what I'm talking about, should I remove this info from the wiki page?

The existence of the last, internal-only number has led to some confusion among mappers. I think I used to put whole version numbers into my darkmod.txt (i.e. v2 or v3), but declare a decimal update (i.e. v1.1 or v1.2) on the forum thread and in the readme.txt.

I don't understand that we don't have a requirement on one version nr. type. Currently I would say forget about version numbers, it's super confusing and sometimes even maybe completely untrue, better add a name for the specific update, instead of a number. Also, I don't understand why the internal version nr. has to be a whole number. That is such a bizar limitation.
