About Errors Running Recently-Created testSubtitles... FMs under TDM 2.12 Beta 3 Console gui parsing errors now occur in the FM's custom version of tdm_subtitles_message.gui, because Beta 3 no longer defines SUBTITLES_TEXT_BORDERCOLOR. To correct this, in the testSubtitles.../guis/tdm_subtitles_message.gui, comment out the 2 lines that say: bordercolor SUBTITLES_TEXT_BORDERCOLOR Or replace with the so-fixed and updated version of this file from testSubtitlesCynic, to be released shortly. Early testSubtitles... FMs created during the first half of 2023 may need additional surgery to run without error.

I created the page: https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Lightgem In the source I placed the following text: <!-- Page text made by forum user Fiver: https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/22327-how-can-i-create-an-account-on-the-tdm-wiki/&do=findComment&comment=491145 --> Personally I think the page isn't really necessary because the info is already present under HUD.

In the first post of the other topic Geep proposed: Then Stgatilov's answer: But I think applying subtitles in different languages shouldn't be too hard I would think, but I don't know how the current translation system works. The engine should apply the correct subtitles based on the applied language setting, this doesn't need a whole new language system I think. Not sure who's going to write those subtitles though. I can only do Dutch and English and nobody needs Dutch I think. I suggest further discussion of this to take place in topic https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/21741-subtitles-possibilities-beyond-211/

Yeah, I'm sure gpt-4 is much better, but I don't have access yet. Meanwhile, in related news, I often notice writing errors in the news. This morning there was a glaring grammatical error in a bbc report about closures at an Ocado warehouse. I asked chat-gpt to ananlyse it and it failed to spot the clear error. I then exctracted the sentence and said can't you see the errror in this sentence. It said yes and apologised saying it was possible its evaluation of the whole article obscured the error. I then asked it to give two ways to fix the error which it did perfectly. I then asked it to provide a prompt that would get it proof-read articles both as a whole, then sentence by sentence, then report the result. It gave this: "Read the given article thoroughly to identify any errors that you can find. Once you have completed your initial read-through, analyze each sentence of the article one by one to identify any errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, or logic. Note down all the errors you find in each sentence. Finally, merge the results of both steps to create a list of all the errors you found in the article as a whole, along with the specific sentence where each error was located."

fwiw, I tried cloning the material def for lightbiground1 (materials/lights.mtr) and added ai_see 0, but that gives an unknown token error. lights/biground1 { description "Round point light." { forceHighQuality map lights/biground1.tga colored zeroClamp ai_see 0 } }

Creating a new thread for this as it was being discussed in an old beta-testing thread starting here: https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/21822-beta-testing-high-expectations/&do=findComment&comment=490751 I suppose the main questions are: when should this spawnarg be used, if at all? why was it introduced in the first place? Can we get it documented properly on the Wiki so misuse isn't propagated? @stgatilov @Dragofer

Trying to play "The adventures of Thomas: Lucy's quest" This consistently crash when witnessing the "entertainment". What I tried: 1. Disabling SMT by "echo off > /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control" 2. Disabling all (except one) CPU's by issuing "echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/online" Results: Neither of this changed anything- the same pthread_join() error and dump as above.

You are right. It should simply not load and give an error about the version change and what you can do. Also the installer should give a warning message about the saves.

i rather have a error message instead of being forced to use ALT-F4, probably i am new and dont understand the underlaying needs off that version number stuck inside a game save. its not like a gigaviewer for zx in z80 , aint it ?? i get the message but i dont ....

Here is the code for computing angle: /// Return the angle between <self> and <other> T angle(const BasicVector3<T>& other) const { // Get dot product of normalised vectors, ensuring it lies between -1 // and 1. T dot = std::clamp( getNormalised().dot(other.getNormalised()), -1.0, 1.0 ); // Angle is the arccos of the dot product return acos(dot); } This approach gives high error for small angles (i.e. when cosine is close to 1.0 or -1.0). If machine epsilon is eps, then error can be as high as O(sqrt(eps)). For floats, it would be about 3e-4, and for doubles, it would be about 1e-8. It can be good idea to use asin/acos to compute angle only if you prefer speed over precision. In order to achieve O(eps) precision for all angles, use atan2: return fabs(atan2(a.cross(b).length(), a.dot(b))); This approach also works perfectly well for computing signed angle in plane --- just remove fabs and replace .length() with dot product over plane normal (direction matters).

Hi i cant load my save games after the update to version 1.2. there is no error message, after starting the init the bar stays at 0, nothing happens at all. i have to quit with ctrl-F4 i can make new ones which do load...

hi I keep getting this error when trying to install TDM, any ideas? I'm using windows 8 x64 cheers

I think there was a quirk in the engine that treated pure 0 black as an artist error so a small uplift was added to ensure proper light response. This was more critical when the ambient had a Fresnel component. The DXT1 encoding was to save on storage. I think that's a silly rationale since a pure single color texture could technically be represented by a single pixel. No pressing need to compress that or even a 32x32 texture but I suppose if someone is obsessed with saving texture storage they could choose png or a better dxt version. TLDR; Transparent \ Blend textures should be fine with 0,0,0 color and single color textures don't need aggressive compression. _black should be fine for all such materials.

Hello! Tracking down information on software and plug-ins that work with D3 / TDM can be a tough. So I have created a thread here where people can post what software/ plug-ins/ tutorials or other references they've had success or failure with in TDM. 3DS MAX 2013 64bit .ase - Default .ASE model exporter works. However you have to open the .ase file in text edit and manual change the *BITMAP line on each material to read something like: "//base/textures/common/collision" which allows the engine to read the correct material path. md5.mesh / animation - Beserker's md5 exporter/importers for 3dsmax. http://www.katsbits.com/tools, Importing and exporting works. The model must be textured, UV'd, with a skin modifier attached to the bones to export. PM me (Kingsal) for help with this. Imported models using the script will not be weighted appropriately, so this is not recommended if you are simply trying to edit existing tdm content. (Use blender instead) MAYA 2011 32bit md5.mesh - So far I've not had any luck with Maya 2011. I am using Greebo's MayaImportx86 for Maya 2011. I've got the importer working however I get a "Unexpected Internal Failure(kFailure)" and the import fails. This could be due to something finicky in Maya that I am not doing correctly. Will keep trying.. Blender 2.7 about - Blender is commonly used and pretty well supported on the forums/ wiki. Various versions may work as well - https://www.blender.org/download/ md5.mesh / animation Blender MD5 importer/exporter (io_scene_md5.zip): https://sourceforge.net/projects/blenderbitsbobs/files/ Sotha's guide Blender Male/ Female rigs by Arcturus - Here Edit by Dragofer: more links found in this post.

I'm trying to build a debug trunk build (which I've been able to do in the past). I'm doing a "cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Debug" ..", then "make" in a subdirectory called build, but make bails at the linking of the binary: [100%] Linking CXX executable thedarkmod.x64 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lstdc++ collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/TheDarkMod.dir/build.make:8080: thedarkmod.x64] Error 1 make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:96: CMakeFiles/TheDarkMod.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [Makefile:104: all] Error 2 The libstdc++.so is installed and exists /lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/10/libstdc++.so. I'm not really familiar with cmake, so I'm not sure the proper way to get things linked up... any ideas? (Now that I think about it, I think the last time I built darkmod (last year) was applying a scons patch, which I rather just get the correct way to build darkmod working...)

With dev build TDM 2.10/64 #9406 I get the warning: during compiling AAS... WARNING:brush 0 on entity 1114636288 is unbounded. That warning makes no sense to me. The brushes and entities near the coordinate location haven't been touched in ages. Of course there is no such entity and I've had different entity numbers 1.1 billion, 1.2 billion, ... I don't get that warning with stable build TDM 2.09/64 #9108 eta: After only vaguely isolating the problem area, I reverted to 2.09 and problem solved, or at least the appearance of a solution. However with thinking cap on I doubt that this is a problem with the dev build. Much more likely it's my map, which is a disgraceful clutter of stuff dating from too long ago, when I didn't have a clue, up to today when I'm getting the hang of it. I've decided to rebuild the map geometry, streamline it and set up portals properly. Use the 2.10 build. eta2: Had to delete the sealing brushes, sky and floor, plus the static floor meshes, over the entire affected area. Then slice up the replacement brushes to rid the WIP of neverending "chopwinding bla bla bla" errors. But it's done, v 2.10 dmap gives no errors. I fear I breached a protocol by posting this topic here, for which I apologize.

Just installed the first 2.12 beta and switched to altham (A Night in Altham). Started mission and was simply exploring the configuration menus ... and it crashed! I've attached a a good part of the log below (starting from reload, presumably triggered by selecting the mission): Unfortunately the actual crash: *** longjmp causes uninitialized stack frame ***: terminated signal caught: Aborted doesn't look terribly illuminating. This missing seems to have triggered an awful lot of error messages ... is the mission itself sound to test? Think I might switch to something older to start with... Edit: Restarted the mission ... and it seems to be playing normally now. Hmmm

There's a group of players who have meticulously tested and adjusted ghosting rules for The Dark Mod. Please see: Official Ghosting Rules: https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=148523 Ghost Rules Discussion: https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=148487 Why alienate an established group of dedicated players?

Something's wrong with the wiki. Going to anywhere but the home page returns something like this: MediaWiki internal error. Original exception: [521710f625297c8cef7aa5f4] 2023-12-19 13:47:30: Fatal exception of type "IntlException" Exception caught inside exception handler.

Looking at the code, the originals were "pm_mantle_pull 750" and "pm_mantle_pullFast 450". The new "pm_mantle_pull" value is "400". A "pm_mantle_pullFast" value of "450" would be slower than regular pull, not faster. With both being set to "400", they are at least similar. Other than that, it's subjective and the feedback from playtesters was positive.

Ambient atmospheres are in my opinion one of the best parts of the Dark Mod experience, not just for getting a mission to have the right feel but also for inspiration and to have them playing in the background when creating maps. The more the merrier, so here's a thread to collect all the links to ambient music and environmental sounds that could have a spot in TDM's setting. Ambients from the TDM forums Gast's Eerie Lullabies Magnanimous Merry's Miscellanea Orbweaver's Dark Ambients Spadey's Ambients Radioteque's Ambients Kyyrma's Composing Ambient Tracks for Dummies - Kyyrma shows how ambient soundtracks can be made from a set of sounds. Also contains some of his finished ambients. Request for more interior sounds - this thread is a very productive community session where members came up with a large and good selection of new ambients. Uncle Peti's Sound Den Dragofer's Ambients - post #6 in this thread SeriousToni's Ambients - posts #8, 12, 15 and 19 in this thread Ambients from the TTLG forums Custom resources list Gigagooga's Ambients 1 - possibly the largest pack of ambient musics and nature sounds, all of them high quality. Gigagooga's Ambients 2 - this pack puts more weight on shorter swells/hits/pads to be layered on top of a subtle ambient. Gigagooga's Ambients 3 Yandros' ambient loop Sephy's Ambients - a large collection of ambient pieces, including many shorter ones which will be valuable for anyone wanting to try a layered ambience approach like in the Thief OMs and Full Moon Fever. Internet databases www.freesound.org - some of the better composers in my opinion are ERH and BrandonNyte. www.purple-planet.com - a large selection of all kinds of ambient and musical soundtracks to be used freely. www.darkwinter.com - an internet label that publishes a lot of dark ambient music under a Creative Commons license. www.endlessascent.com - sister website of Darkwinter for non-dark ambients. Youtube Asatru Dark - also has very nice reference images for outdoor stone memorials, statue arrangements etc. #4 Void by Raffaele du Marteau & #6 Dreaming of Nowhere by Raffaele du Marteau - possibly the most forlorn pieces I've found on the internet. Alacazam - a prolific Creative Commons ambients composer . Cryo Chamber - for-profit label for dark ambient music with a large selection on offer. Going by their Youtube comments they're fine with people using their soundtracks for games etc., although you'd probably need to buy the soundtracks first. Dark Ambient Mixed Session - as much ambient as something to have in the background while mapping.
