I got this to compile all the way and produce a debian file, however, I tried to start the game, but there appears to be some pathing issues with the changes I choose (pushing files to the traditional user games). The "journey" or my steps is outlined in my github issues post I created for my SteamOS external tools repository. If anyone has any direction at all on where to proceed next, that would be GREATLY appreciated. The repository in use is a snapshot of TDM 2.0.3 with Debian packaging. One of the issues that was hard to overcome, is the wiki page is woefully out of date, vs the Dark Radiant wiki page counterpart. This incorporates the zllib/scons patch posted on another thread (linked in my github post and in the patches folder). The build came out to ~330 MB, so maybe I am missing a step to run the updater built afterward?

I'm wondering if anyone ever checks new posts in the Fan Missions Forums? I've posted 4 questions asking for help for 4 different missions that I can't finish because I"m stuck, and I don't get any help. I posted a question this morning so I don't expect an answer right away for that one. Its frustrating because I would like to finish them. I've read through the posts for each mission and I'm not getting anything from them. If there's someone who could help me I'd really appreciate it. Thanks I guess I'm spoiled from the TTLG forums.

Hi all, me again Now that I've learned how to take screenies on DM (thanks to Aluminumhaste) I wanted to post one that I took but I got an error saying that the image ext that I used was not allowed in these forums, It was .jpg so I changed it to .png and I got the same error again. They're on Photobucket.

I am wondering if it's possible to make a plugin using Python for DarkRadiant, that will load prefabs based on a set of rules and align them accordingly ? Thanks.

Let's talk about TDM building with blender in here. Blender: http://www.blender.org/ Some links how to get into Blender: http://en.wikibooks....ble_of_Contents http://www.katsbits....hp#blender_grid You really should take your time and read these. You can't learn Blender without them. Ase exporter: http://code.google.c...ase-export-vmc/ Md5 exporter, for making anims. http://www.katsbits....4ea&topic=520.0 Very briefly how to get your stuff correctly into DR: When you start, switch grid to similar as in DR. Press N when in 3d view. Display tab. Set Lines: 128, Scale 8, Subdivisions 8. Now you are building in DR grid 8. If you need to snap to smaller grid, simply change scale parameter to the grid you want to use. ie. grid 4. Build and texturize your model. Note: each areas with different textures MUST be different objects. If walls are stone, walls have stone textures, the walls should be an own object. If windows use own window texture, the windows should be different object than the walls. Texturizing guide here: http://en.wikibooks..../Image_Textures Just remember that each object with different textures should be different objects. Also each object must have a material with a texture ASSIGNED. For modeling, I extracted editor images of textures from the TDM texture .pk4's and used them in the modeling. When you are exporting: http://www.katsbits....-ase-models.php In the ase exporter options, check every box, except: "Use submaterials" "Allow multiple materials" Set Scale to 1. We previously set blender to use scale of 8 (DarkRadiant default grid size) and the exporter applies a scale of 1, so everything you get out from blender is in DR size scale. Export file into ASE. Open the .ase file in a text editor. Find BITMAP lines declaring each texture used in the model Rename BITMAP contents to the darkmod texture shaders. For example, I used a editor image for a window and in my ase file it reads: *BITMAP "//Textures/textures/darkmod/window/diamond_pattern02_ed.jpg" I need to rename the line so that the ase file uses the corresponding darkmod material *BITMAP "\\purgatory\purgatory\doom\base\textures\darkmod\window\diamond_pattern02\diamond_pattern02" Copy the ase file into your darkmod/models/darkmod/yourmodels folder. Now fire up DR and you should find the model in the model list. If the model is visible in DR but not in game, something went wrong. With this work flow I got my models to be visible.
