This one is really essential: https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=138607 Should work fine with the GOG version.

I thought the code tags constrained the code window vertical size and inserted a vertical scroll... hmm, guess not. I guess you have to use spoiler tags and nested code tags so you get the correct text highlight.

Thanks for playing and the kind feedback re: the bugs: the brew tank is a new one - thanks for that. Will add it to the list for any future update. the bow: I think that's a TDM bug. I experienced it as well, but only the early days of developing the mission so I thought it had gone away, but I guess not: https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/21345-210-crashes-may-be-bow-frontend-acceleration-related/ the keys on the guard: never did get to the bottom of that one as I could never reproduce it.

Thanks! Hint for the safe code here: https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/21837-fan-mission-the-lieutenant-2-high-expectations-by-frost_salamander-20230424/&do=findComment&comment=485264 Actually, it's probably time I added these hints to the original post....

Root cause is: wxgtk also tags incomplete releases, so the latest isn't offered to install.

Regarding the sound: Instead of creating a speaker via script, you could create the speaker in a seperate (e.g. where the start-weapons and items are stored) and move it to the player position, when you need the sound. When the sound should stop, you could move it back to its former location. That way, you can have the speaker on repeat all the time or you could handle it like you would any other speaker. Regarding the speed potion: By the way: If you are searching for somethin in the forums, I would recommend to use google with a "site:forums.thedarkomod.com" before the term you are searching for. This limits the google search to the forums and the google algorithm is way better than the search function of the forum itself. In this case it was the second hit of the search.

Hey all, I just noticed on the TTLG forums that Xorax released a large (1600+) set of textures for public use. I browsed through them and they match well with TDM. While they don't have normal maps, I'd still recommend giving them a once-over. Here's the TTLG thread: https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=151606

DarkRadiant 2.14.0 is ready for download. This release focused on DarkRadiant's texturing abilities, the Texture Tool and some of the Surface Inspector algorithms have been completely rewritten.

The EntityInspector can now deal with more than one selected entities, showing the shared key values in the list. Copy/Paste Textures across angled faces: Texture Tool Rotate Tool (use "R" hotkey to switch) Surface Inspector Harmonise Scale / Linked Scaling Surface Inspector Normalise EntityInspector Multi-Selection Support For more things that have changed or fixed, see the list below.

The current Kickstarter seems to be crawling to the finish, but I think they'll get there. I wonder how a Thief Kickstarter would do - seems safe to say it would fare significantly better.

I never realised Bill Gates was a member of these forums. Welcome to the community! I hope you enjoy The Dark Mod. Perhaps your Foundation could help pay for the server hosting or fund the development of some new features?

UPDATE 26/6 ver 1.02 Fixed Bernhard's book Fixed some missing text in readables (Can you believe it's more?! ) Fixed black wall in barn, second floor. Tweaked some tension meter scripting. UPDATE 22/6 ver 1.01 Added popup message that tells the player that the maze isn't opened yet. Couldn't find the reason for the book bug so I've put this particular book in the world instead of adding to the inventory via a script... Hello! It's time for me to release my entry to the Seasons Contest, 2011. This map was built roughly between 1/4 - 19/6, A special thanks to my friend Ziggun and Ash that have helped me work out the story and write the readables. Also a thanks to my friend Henrik Swenson that has produced some of the sound effects. And also a big thank you to all team members and people developing this brilliant mod! And also a big thank you to the various guys and gals that helpt testing this mission and found some crashing bugs and helped me through the tempest Dear Sir I send you this letter as a request for aid in a delicate matter. My name is Oscar Powell, and I assure you that the rumors of my death were greatly exaggerated. I am, in fact, merely in hiding after the unfortunate incident that took the life of my father. You come highly recommended, and I trust in your complete discretion in what I am about to tell you. The incident that claimed my father and nearly myself was no accident - it was a clumpy attempt at an assassination. A band of pagan brutes assaulted the summer home, seeking to claim my life and that of my beloved father. And given the recent death of my beloved brother Bernhard, I now know where to point the accusing finger. My sister Alma, thrice-cursed be her name, must have hired them to rid herself of us. I have no doubts to her ambition to claim the family holdings, nor do I know her soul to contain any compassion. But the law is blind, they say, and I am but one man in hiding. But with proof I could challenge her and bring her to justice. Which is where you come in, as I am told you are without peer in bringing light to the ugliest of truths. So I ask of you to go the Powell summer home, where my beloved father and brother met their end, and find out the truth. With this letter you will find a ticket to the Powell hedge maze, which will give you an excellent chance to enter the estate. Use any means necessary and leave no stone unturned in this and you shall be richly rewarded when I am restored to my rightful place as owner of the Powell holdings. Yours humbly, Oscar Powell Important information! Because this is quite different mission from the rest, there are a few things to be aware of when playing. 1. You are in essence a thief, but has chosen the approach of a private eye. This mission has lot of emphasis on story and most of the story is told through readables. As with most missions, the mission is enjoyable without reading all readables and most of them can sometimes be skipped. But in order to get the full experience from this mission, I recommend the player to read all the readables. 2. This is a daylight mission and this means that you aren't directly cosidered a villain unless you show socially unacceptable behaviour such as stealing, walking in flower beds or going where you don't belong. (Note that on expert difficulty the mission begins with you breaking inside the main house and thus start in a high tension area). You will have a tension meter that goes up when you do something socially unacceptable. If anyone sees you during this state, the tension will go up on red and you will forever be considered a villain and will be chased. On expert difficulty this will result in instant failure. One another aspect on the daylight theme is that this mission is set on a farmland and to simulate these lands I have chosen a quite open map layout. This is contrary to all recommendations for the IdTech 4 engine and as a result, performace may be lacking in some places. I have tried my best to keep a good balance between good looking exterior parts versus good performance. 3. This shouldn't have to be something to point out, but I've got to known that some players have some issues against "violence-control" in missions. My personal gameplay puts lots of emphasis on stealth and sneaking. Therefore I consider detection a failure and almost never kill anyone besides animals/undead. Violence is sparse in this mission and you're not allowed to kill anyone (that doesn't pose any immediate threat to you) on any of the difficulties. KO:s are perfectly allright although limited. Enjoy! http://www.mindplace...tails.php?id=45 Not updated yet... http://www.MegaShare.com/3359042 ver 1.01 http://www.MegaShare.com/3368609 ver 1.02 Remember to use spoiler tags where appropriate! (This may fail and therefore I do not recommend anyone to read any further unless they've played the mission!)

I have the key, but no plans to play it until I get a new computer. By the time that happens they should have fixed most of the bugs. If there are deeper issues, that's too bad. Backing a Kickstarter/Indiegogo campaign is always a risk.

Yes is the overture engine. Btw It has no real, world editor, they made one for HPL2 (the engine used on Amnesia) but in HPL1 everything is done through collada text tags, using a modeling suit (they used Maya 7.0 with some old collada plugin ) but if the collada support would be updated to use a more modern version than perhaps I could use Modo or Blender to work with it and I wouldn't mind at all.

You can try my alternative footstep sounds package which addressed the things you described together with a lot of other footstep sounds both for player and AI if you want to. https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/17631-new-footstep-sounds/

heh i was thinking the same though it might just have been a glitch when writing the names are pretty similar. But for correctness it is called the dark engine and the newer version that allows us to run these beauties on win10/11 is called newdark. newdark is kinda interresting as it just suddenly popped up on a french forum some time ago by an anonymous developer with the alias le corbeau who allegedly got his hands on the original source code and started updating it for modern OS. this was the original thread i believe -> https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=140085 bikerdude was on that forum to when the patch hit i noticed hehe.

I'd say the Tech Support forums are the correct place for rendering issues like this. The DarkRadiant forums are for development and feedback on DR, while the Newbie DarkRadiant Questions thread in the Editing Guild is for general mapping questions. Regarding the silver platter, if I'm not mistaken it contains a reflective stage in its material, which might be conflicting with your mirror. It's not a very noticeable reflection imo, so could derive a new material without that stage and apply it via a skin as a workaround (if nothing else works).

When you're done playing Moment of Truth, you should give MoTmod a try - it makes all missions from the first game playable in the second. And remember to donate to Kickstarter if you want Death to Spies 3 to see the light of day, or at least released very soon. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/haggardgames/death-to-spies-3

Interesting, although I'm not sure what to make of that. One of my favorite games (The Chronicles of Riddick Assault on Dark Athena) was published by Atari, and, they don't even seem to care to keep the activation servers running much. Or remove/change the copy protection, which doesn't work at all on Windows 11. I really hope that Nightdive delivers at the end of May... I'm not one of the shit storm crowd (it's absolutely horrible on the Steam forums...), but, 7 years of development is a long time, and delaying the release obviously has become a bit of a habit, to say the least.

You can mark the text to make it visible. I know this as the old version of spoiler tags.

The br tags were added by me to the mission page. It works on the website but apparently it is rendering incorrectly in-game. I think we should fix that on the TDM side rather than living without basic line breaking on the website side and having all mission descriptions look like a wall-of-text...
