Is it possible to make the model steam_engine_003 work or is it just a static model. Thank you.

I hope this isn't a useless thread, just thought it would be constructive to let everyone know about it. I was looking up some TDM related concerns, and accidentally stumbled across another fork of the idTech4 engine. It's called fhDOOM, and it seems to have a lot of neat graphical improvements over the stock engine. eXistence/fhDOOM There are definitely things in there that TDM could consider grabbing! Some important ones highlighted on their front page: Modern renderer based on OpenGL 3.3 core profile. Any up-to-date engine should have this as a norm.Parallax mapping. Not sure if we have this already... I only know the original engine had simple bump mapping.Soft shadows. A heavily desired and long awaited feature.Alpha textures affecting shadows. This allows light to shine through textured grates, which is a very beautiful improvement.Soft particles. This one we already have now however.An example of the old lighting system (ours) versus lighting with shadow mapping (fhDOOM): As the obstacle to new features is almost always finding someone willing to code them, discovering those improvements for our engine is a goldmine... since unless they conflict with any of our changes, I assume they should be easy to just plug into the code. Can any of this good stuff please be considered for inclusion in TDM's version of the engine?

Hey Everyone, I can't figure out whats going on but sometimes when I reloadEngine the game crashes. Its often enough to be annoying. I think it has to do with anytime I reload after I changing values to the renderer or reload textures/ models, but I can't be sure. Anyone else have this? Suggestions? 2.06 x64. Multicore / uncapped/ soft shadows on. Windows 10.

Hi guys, through the "cheats" topic I got the idea, that it would be quite useful, if there were tags for missions (the post was about removing the killing restriction in some missions to suit the prefered play style). I don't know how easy or difficult this is, but with them, it would be quite convenient to pick missions with playstyles, environment, etc one does want to use. This could also be expanded to other mission properties. I remember a discussion about climbable drains, handles on doors, that cannot be picked and other things the map author chooses for himself. That way these things would be clearer and as I said before, it is easier to choose missions with playstyles that suit oneself. What do think?

Hello guys, I know this is not the TDM engine but is based on idtech 4 has well so i hope you guys can help me. I'm trying to create a new class of object in a separate file, for that i created a new .header file and a new .cpp file for my class, i then tried to copy what idSoftware has done for their own classes but no matter what i do, visual studio never compiles and gives me a bunch of errors but what really confuses me is that the errors point to the original engine code no my own code!? Is if my files are breaking the id code not mine. This is what i'm doing: header class myclass : public idclass{ public: CLASS_PROTOTYPE( myclass); myclass(){Init()}; // constructor ~myclass(){Init()}; // destrutor members vars methods / functions } ///************* cpp file #include "../idlib/precompiled.h" #pragma hdrstop #include "Game_local.h" // myclass header is called from inside here CLASS_DECLARATION( idclass, myclass) END_CLASS void myclass::Init(){} etc. I did the same thing using structs instead (afaik they are just like classes) but directly from inside the player.h and player.cpp file and that worked fine, but now i wanted to make it a separate class and i'm having a bunch of problems, i most say that i'm a beginner c++ and OOP so i most be forgetting something basic, or i'm forgetting to declare my class in some other id file, any help would be appreciated.

Hello! I'm new to the forums, and not sure if I should post this topic in this section... I'm interested in porting some of gameplay mechanics from The Dark Mod to Storm Engine 2 (or use as reference for recreating them) - namely AI improvements, movement, grabbing and manipulating objects, and combat. I already checked wiki and downloaded sources, but it would be much quicker if someone could point me in some direction or which files I'll need to modify. This is for general tinkering with code and building project prototypes. I already have minimal base assets required to load a level (minimum requirements for engine to launch at all was provided by developer, but building on that still took a while). While I'm at development side of things - after getting through some fan missions, I'll most likely make my own. I really love Thief series and The Dark Mod and appreciate the effort you put into this game!

Something I posted on idtechforums just a while ago. I hastily made some simple assets, defs, materials and a basic level to create a quickstart base for anyone willing to try Storm Engine 2. It lacks a player model, but there's a workaround I described in it's readme. Letting those files simply rot on my hard drive would be pointless, even if no one is going to use it. https://github.com/Snehk/SE2DevBase

Hello guys i decided to mess with the fhDoom engine, to learn how to code on c++ and perhaps use it for a game, first i most say i'm only starting to learn how to mess with Visual studio, so be gentle ;P, i use the 2015 version btw, i'm pretty sure that i'm missing something basic, i can compile the project just fine but i just can't debug any code, here is what happening, every time i try to debug a file it complains about being unable to find ALL_BUILD on the home project \Debug, but the build doesn't save the .exe/pdb files on that directory, but on the bin\Debug directory, if i attach a running instance of the fhdoom .exe and use DEBUG->WINDOWS->MODULES, i see that it complains about being unable to find symbols or .pdb files for a bunch of microsoft DLL's, including a Avast antivirus dll?!, is this whats preventing me from debugging?

Hey Guys, I made another of my space engine videos, thought you might like it. I know there's a lot of other space nuts here. lol Enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlwnW792MtU

Hey, Every time I've try to use the Full Editor when PM'ing someone, and every single time I get an error. Whoever is in charge of the forum, is it possible that this could be fixed? Thanks Neon
