  3. Feedback on wiki "GUI Scripting Language" Series

    While Notepad++ does have a "Find in Files" feature, it's not well suited for this particular task (examining all the files of a particular type within a large directory tree).

    It has a plugin system, but if you are happy with textpad, then no reason to switch I guess.

    Actually it doesn't matter, you still would have to open 7zip and then probably open every file seperatly. This isn't worable in your case. But I think you should be able to open seperate files in Textpad this way, because 7zip unzips it temporarly and passes the file to the default external editor (I think), so the editor (Textpad) doesn't need to read inside the pk4 file.

  4. More [Oil] Lamps & Lanterns

    There is exactly one - quite overused Wall mounted Oil lamp (in bronze and Rusty bronze oooh). Its an indoor lamp fixture, used outdoors and as its a 'fancy' design - often in areas of lower-economic means too. It just looks 'wrong' in many outdoor places.

    So you ask more lamps to be included in core assets and then hope mission authors will try to use them?

     

    I would like to see multiple base models that can be coupled together to create different prefabs.

  7. So, what are you working on right now?

    Always love when I get around to designing a cozy looking tavern. What would I do without the AI table prefabs, much as food and cutlery starts flying around everywhere whenever they get alerted no matter how you try fixing them :P

    I notice now that the sitting pose of ai is like they're leaning, but in this case there's no back to lean on.

    I guess there's that shining mirror plate. If you don't want it to reflect, you could remove the reflection from the material?

    Thanks for the detailed answer @Geep. I thought I might ask too much, because it was getting a little over my head.

    use TextPad to do this. In the case of (2), I have a local copy of the latest official TDM distribution (currently 2.11), where I have replaced every .pk4 with its unzipped equivalent. Because TextPad can't look inside .pk4 files.

    Good idea, although I think if you use 7zip for example, you can select "open in external editor" or something, and it will open in the default external editor. When I'm on a Windows pc it opens it in Notepad ++ . Maybe I should check out TextPad.

  9. New shadow leaks in 2.12 dev builds

    Yesterday I played Chronicles of Skulduggery 0: To Catch a Thief. There's a door up on a terrace (I can reinstall it and go there to get a viewpos if anyone's interested) which upon picking and opening will cause the light on the back of the wall indoor to slightly shine on the floor outside through the entire wall.

    I think I mentioned Bienie about this during beta testing and thought he fixed it.

    Found these oddly rendered plates: rev 10484 vs 10495.

    Shouldn't these (I cannot find them in DR) have a mirror effect applied, like models/darkmod/kitchen/tea_tray_silver2.ase ? I guess this is some brush with texture bc_teatray applied? Although this texture has the mirror effect applied.

    It doesn't seem like a clean solution to make the whole console appear anyway: I wonder if it's possible to make just the viewpos appear at the top of the render in a special display with this command.

    You have not read what I posted (to you) before? I guess not. 

    bind "KP_SLASH" "con_noprint 0;wait;wait;wait;getviewpos;wait;wait;wait;screenshot;con_noprint 1"

  13. Fan Mission : Hazard Pay by Kingsal 01/27/22

    Its a custom background. Its just a bug I never fixed and I don't plan on fixing.

    One way to fix it, is to override the tdm_objectives.gui file (in mission folder) and change the code from windowDef ObjectivesHolder to this: 

    	windowDef ObjectivesHolder
	{
		#define OBJ_FULL_WIDTH		500
		#define OBJ_FULL_HEIGHT		370
		#define OBJ_SCROLL_KEYBOARD	1

		rect		30, 60, OBJ_FULL_WIDTH, OBJ_FULL_HEIGHT
		//backcolor	0.3,0.3,1,1	//for debugging

		#include "guis/tdm_objectives_core.gui"
	}

    Objectiveholder is the objective text, so changing that you can specify how the objectives outline on the background.

    It would be nice (in general) if there's a more elegant way than overriding this core file.

    Another string example, from the mainmenu_briefing.gui: 

    background	"gui::BriefingVideoMaterial"

    I think this should be:

    I don't actually understand this. Where is it defined what BriefingVideoMaterial is?

    Actually there would be an even better solution, though I'm not sure if by default it would be acceptable: Turn small creatures into an item including living ones! Frob them to pick up then drop them like you would any dropable inventory item, dead or alive they would proceed from there :D Only obvious problem I can see is if someone made a rat or small spider patrol using path_corner checkpoints, in which case dropping them far away would make them unable to find their patrol routes any longer... though in this case they'd just endlessly stand there and not upset anyone I guess?

    It's interesting for a mission objective: Let the rat loose in the guards area to distract them so that you can sneak past.

    However I believe I also found a bug that was surely introduced by it: You can now pick up and mantle the bodies of dead mice.

    In what mission is this? I've never encountered it, I know the spawnarg. I don't think that the ragdols have shoulderable set to 1 in the dev files. Otherwise I would've encountered it.

    Edit: ok stupid to claim before checking I guess.

  25. New Entity: Teledoor

    in TDM Editors Guild

    Posted · Edited by datiswous

    Well the original reason I came up with it was to have the possibly of an alternative regular door. When the player opens it, they get teleported right behind the door, like as if they entered through it. This means the door never has to be auto-closed (for performance) and you don't bump into it when opening. But I guess ai will have an issue with teleportation so wouldn't be able to use that teledoor.

    Btw. what happens if there's an ai patrol route in the location the player gets teleported to and the player ends in the place where the ai is at that moment?
