    by the way, is the executable icon a little cardboard box? (And showing everywhere, window, filesystem, taskbar, etc?) Just wanted to be sure I set the icon properly.

    It shows up in different places, but not the executable icon.

    Yes, you have to save the .pkignore in order for it to rebuild the trees.

    But it's missing a manual save functionality.

    Damn... that's a bummer. I don't know what to do about it, as I'm just using Godot's api to execute a process. Have you tried running the console version of TDM Packer? I don't know if it will show any useful information. I didn't export with debug, so probably not.  

    It shows this:

    Hmm, it looks for a "darkmod" folder?

    Edit: Changing the tdm folder to "darkmod" makes the play button work correctly, but this should not be required.

    it can pack your selected mission into the pk4 at a click of a button

    This works in Linux

    On 2/8/2025 at 4:23 PM, Skaruts said:

    it provides an editor for a .pkignore file where you specify which files to exclude from the pk4

    I guess you have to manually write down the files you want to exclude? I thought you could just double click in the file-tree, but this doesn't work. There's no save button for this it seems.

    On 2/8/2025 at 4:23 PM, Skaruts said:

    it gives you a handy tree view of both the included and excluded files (Shift+LMB to fully expand/contract branches)

    yes. But this is not updated until you save, which you can only do when you pack, play, or edit.

    On 2/8/2025 at 4:23 PM, Skaruts said:

    it can launch TDM or DarkRadiant for the selected mission, or run a second installation of TDM to test your pk4 in isolation (see the menu Settings->Paths)

    Works with DR, but not TDM. The console logs starting and stopping, nothing happens.

    On 2/8/2025 at 4:23 PM, Skaruts said:

    it automatically writes your map sequence into the appropriate file

    I don't understand what this does.

    Edit: Is this for campaigns?

    On 2/8/2025 at 4:23 PM, Skaruts said:

    all maps, except the ones in the map sequence, are auto excluded from the pk4

    I don't see how this could be useful and why this isn't inside the Pack window.

    Edit: Ah ok, I see.

    Nice fm.

    Just want to note that the efx reverb in the outside area is waaay too strong.

    Setting "decay time" to 1.3 instead of 2.13 in reverb "outside" improves it somewhat.

     

    There's also some range related warnings in the console related to reverb delay and echo time (the specified numbers in the efx file are outside the allowed range).

    It's possible I messed up the objectives in the editor.

    Yeah so that's why you should beta test before submission next time. Every mapper does that (except if you did, then I've nothing to say).

    Edit: Sorry, I don't want to sound too negative. It's great that you made your first mission! Thanks!

  19. Abandoned Works

    Please check out the first post by @fllood

    I think that if you give it up for sunmission it becomes abandoned by you. If then somebody takes it to work on, you cannot make a mission out of it anymore dirrectly. You already abandoned it. If nobody had took it, you could take it back to work on again.

    while anisotrophy only goes to 8x

    Anisotrophy setting goes to 16x. I have always set it to 16x with minimal impact on performance. Or do you mean other idtech4 games?

    I remember that in Doom 3 you could not set antialiasing to 16x. I could only use the console to do that. Now I know why.

    (except for antialiasing, which is a HUGE hog in this game...)

    I found that there is a huge performance drop going from 8x to 16x. So I keep it on 8x.

    its more like texture pop in

    Do you have Object Details (LOD) setting set to Very High ? It should be on Very High except if your system cannot handle that.

    So, how does it perform with Dark Mod? :) 

    It performs quite well. I can easilly put shadow maps on high and it performs fine. I only use 1080p though. Loading tdm and missions is also like 3 times faster. Loading was more an issue in other games, like Subnautica for example, that was always a bit of a chore. Not anymore now.
