How fun is it to play as an undead in thief trilogy / dark mod ? The haunting(T2) and To the end with nothing(T2). Those FMs are exemplary according to me
*tangential, Garrett vs countless apparitions

Who is actually working on new missions right now? That I, the greatest mapper of all times (and I say this in all modesty, it is innate in me) am working on something epochal is clear to everyone by now. But who else is working on new missions? Please let me, your God, know, because it's so depressingly quiet here and I don't like to post pictures all the time, because even for me it gets a bit too boastful (although justified) with time.

For what it is worth, this is the church building:
https://www.google.com/maps/@44.9471922,-93.0991573,3a,75y,359.64h,106.29t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1su1fFTQjg-h6otT-rj5vQ-g!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?entry=ttu
The nature of this type of church layout is left-right symmetry which settles into a fat grid quite nicely.Now an interesting story to shoehorn into this thing... that is the challenge!

Anyone here played the Forgotten City? So far, it seems really nice, but it's horribly unstable. Frequently crashes to desktop. It's annoying!

I played it through. It's nice. And, I didn't have any issues with stability either (on an Intel/Nvidia system). Might be related to your hardware.
-
Nah, that's definitely a bug in the game code. It always crashes with a null-pointer access-violation when it is trying to update some stats in the savegame, I had a look at the dumps. I also tried a new savegame, but I reproducible got the same issue over and over again. Aside from that, I also get a d3d crash every now and then. I am also running Intel and an Nvidia 3060 Ti with latest drivers. The only thing I could think of is that the game doesn't like my undervolting settings, but without undervolting, that shitty gpu overheats, so.
Anyway, I have given up on the game. Such a shame I was already out of the refund period. Paid good money for it...
-
Maybe you have some luck reporting these issues to the developers. No idea if undervolting could have to do with it. Maybe it does. I can't remember having issues with the game.

All of sudden, as I am building my mission, I am getting an error message that boog_gotisch is missing. Neither part of that name exits in my skin.mtr,or map files. In DR if I search for that name I see is listed under textures/darkmod/boog_gotish and it says Defined in _autogenerated_by_darkradiant_.mtr and Description says the material is missing! Well, DUH. I have not seen the name and it does NOT, nor as I know never has existed in my mission or ANY of the files. Is this part of default Dark Mod files? Confused (as usual), BlackMagic

Check out the new Blinking Items Mod...

Just got my Ally a few days back, quite amazing how great this thing performs. Night and day difference compared to the Steam Deck. Definitely worth the purchase.

What I see a lot in made subtitles (except the ones I make), is that people make an fm_root.subs and then put the inline subtitles in a seperate file, instead of just putting everything in that fm_root.subs file and I wonder why.. It doesn't matter off course, but I wonder why people do that.

It should be:
Quote* 2) All other subtitle decls start with "fm_" prefix and are located either inside the fm_root.subs. or in files starting with "fm_".
-
Wait... but "fm_root.subs" also starts with "fm_", doesn't it?
I don't see how your wording is different...
-
Ok maybe this is better?
Quote* 2) All other subtitle decls start with "fm_" prefix and are located either also inside the fm_root.subs. or in other files starting with "fm_".
QuoteWait... but "fm_root.subs" also starts with "fm_", doesn't it?
I don't see how your wording is different...
Technically there's no difference, but it seems to me people think they have to put the subtitles in another file. You see this in every other fm with subtitles.
Maybe peeps just want to put stuff in different files, but I don't see the point.
Edit: Ok yeah I earlier said the description is partly wrong, while actually it isn't. Sorry about that.

The day of reckoning is upon us.
The day of... forum login changes.

Glad to see the end of that big orange banner that kept coming back no matter how often I closed it.

Yeah the big banner finally is gone and I always love to see updates to the forum software. I would bring myself up as a co-admin to keep the site and features useful and up to date (as a web designer by profession) - but I am not sure who runs the forums.

Why do we see people selling fan art and models from games online? How and why do they not get ripped a new one by publishers? I mean there are some companies who just sit on franchises and do nothing with them; they tend to be the most litigious, while more active ones who have actually made good games in the last 15 years seem to ignore it? I guess sitting around, hoarding franchises and not developing games all day means you have more time to go after fans.
But still, I do feel that profiting off of someone else's work without their permission is wrong.
-
It's difficult/expensive to police, might not be competing with the actual product, and alienates fans who are giving free advertising to the works. It may be in a legal gray area if trademarks aren't used.
-
Using Nintendo as an example, they tend to go after emulators, unauthorized ports, and fan games. They aren't as likely to go after fan art. There was a recent DMCA request sent to SteamGridDB, but that was more like reworked box art, I assume used for emulator GUIs:
-
Well, there are even people who sell tshirt prints of the thief games for their own profit without legal pursue. I think doing fanart without profit is fine, but selling them for their own pocket to be printed on clothes and posters by using the fame of games other people / companies made is not right.

Right, so there is this one weird qwerk of classic Thief. If you beat an AI to death with the blackjack (I know, I know, but sometimes it's fun to fight this way because it's more of a challenge than using the sword) as though Thief was a Quake clone, the guard will scream and begin to drop. But if you quickly wack him again, he will pop up and play the "knocked out" sound, and then collapse again. So basically you killed him, and *then* you knocked him out! The natural question at this point, is how the stats would reflect such an oddity. I guess there is only one way to find out, but the problem is, there's usually more than one dead guard on the map when I play. Especially on Thieve's Guild. I go straight-up Doom on that one, and use the corpses to trace my steps around the confusing layout. The classic Thief guards aren't great fighters; they are especially vulnerable to circle strafing and lots of pelting. You can even get them completely turned around and facing the other direction! As long as you're in a relatively open space you can own them by doing this quite easily. This strategy will not work on TDM guards. Try this with them and you are the one that gets owned. lol

Does anyone have the latest version of the md5 import / export scripts for Blender, for both importing and exporting md5mesh and md5anim with the latest Blender release? I last attempted to rig a custom character ages ago, the scripts are long unsupported and I couldn't find new ones. Blender is now at version 3.5.1, do we have md5 scripts for that? -
What sort of diseases and parasites exist within the world of The Dark Mod? Is there an equivalent if the Black Death? Can zombies spread through bites? Are there any magic-originating plagues concocted by vengeful pagans or sorcerers?

I just submitted a new bug report: https://bugs.thedarkmod.com/view.php?id=6292. In certain specific cases, projectiles don't collide with the player. I've got a test case where a atdm:func_shooter shoots an arrow right at the player, and it goes 'right through' them without damage. It seems to be related to the angle of the projectile (and whether the player is moving or not). This is new to TDM 2.11. It's the cause of the problem that @JavaGod reported playing my mission:

in assassins creed origins I retrieved a sword in a chest in my home but I cannot find it in my inventory or in my gear. Nor is it a quest item. How do I equip it? Or sell it? -
I wanted to bring this up for a while and am sorry I took so long. As such this thread is based on an old observation, I didn't retest recently but from what I know this limitation still exists with the latest code. If others confirm it and the issue is considered solvable I may post it to the bug tracker as well. EFX for spatial sounds are an amazing addition we had in recent years, however they suffer from a noticeable limitation: Reverb only accounts only for the location of the player and not that of sound. Sounds originating from a place with reverberation will not cause any echo if the player isn't standing in that room... oppositely sounds coming from outside will be heard with the full extent of the reverb effect in the room you're hearing them from, they should be echoing less due to not originating from the reverberating hallway. Example: Let's say there's a Builder church with a large hallway containing a reverb definition, inside there's an ambient sound of chanting. If the player is standing in front of the church door, they will hear the chanting without any kind of echo: Only once they step through the door and walk inside the echo suddenly makes itself heard. In a realistic scenario you'll hear the reverberation of any sound coming from a room that causes it, even if you're standing far outside that room hearing this noise in the distance. The simple solution would be a mixture between the location of the player's camera and that of the sound source: Each sound gets 75% the reverb defined in the room it's originating from, then on top of that all sounds being heard by the player anywhere have 25% the reverb of the room the player's standing in (current functionality). The more realistic but also more complicated option would be to use the portal tracing already implemented for sound attenuation and make each sound pick up reverb from each EFX room it passes through, accounting for the room of origin the room the player's standing in but also the rooms it's passing through; That way a noise emanating on one side of a building and passing through open windows in a corridor to reach the player on the other side would still echo, even if both that sound and the player are located outside in an area without reverb.

Hey folks. For the month of May I am running as great a distance as I can to raise money for one of our local Canadian children's hospitals, the IWK. Today all donations are matched dollar for dollar by a corporate sponsor. If anyone would like to support my efforts, it would be greatly appreciated. https://www.millionreasons.run/fundraisers/timgormley Thanks!- 1 reply

i can send you the package via ftp or make a temporary link avaliable on my old site but it would be taken down within a day so let me know when you are ready.

Go ahead when you're ready.

dug up the original link
it has been posted in the same thread.

i also found the sources for the game libraries (precompiled versions in the one linked but they were build using msvc 4.0 so anyone attempting to build it with a newer msvc might also need these).

Announcing the next installment of 'The Lieutenant' series: High Expectations! Never heard of this series before? That's because I just made it up. Actually, it continues on from my previous FM, In Plain Sight. You don't need to have played In Plain Sight before, but there are some references to it in the readables that might not make sense if you haven't (some of which will be spoiler-ish). "Follow the Lieutenant on his next mission to the City of Highborough" Mission Type: City Missions Beta Testers (thank you all!!! @wesp5 @Acolytesix @Shadow @Cambridge Spy @AluminumHaste @jaxa @thebigh @joebarnin @Mezla @snatcher @datiswous Extra credit goes to @Mezla for providing the idea behind one of the objectives! Notes: TDM 2.11 required You can explore most of the map from the start of the mission, but if you find yourself getting a bit lost or unfocused, just concentrate on the main objective Your objectives will become visible after you read your briefing in your inventory The map does not contain any secrets The only difference in the difficulties is the (optional) loot goal This mission has some replay potential built-in. Explanation below, but I suggest you read this only after your first playthrough: Spoiler warning!: Download links (v1.4): Proton Drive: https://drive.proton.me/urls/ZDTKN6DDM4#8Re0CpARxcbc Github: https://github.com/FrostSalamander/fsx/releases/download/1.4/highex.pk4 Screenshots: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjAB8qt Known Issues it appears that to some players keys bound to AI are unfrobable. I don't have a solution as I've never been able to reproduce it. As a mitigation, for these doors you can either lockpick them or an alternate key will be available. Other hints Atkinson/Burns objective This objective is more about rewarding the 'explorer' types. It's optional and requires you to find a lot of stuff to piece together the whole story of what happened. Most of these are not really 'hidden', but rather require a visit to most of the accessible areas of the map.

I'm surprised I could find any thread here for chat-GPT. Version 4 is outstanding from all reports I saw and I can't wait to get my hands on. It's not just a chat-bot (though it can discuss anything with you in great depth.) It can grasp the MEANING of sentences and write its own. In future games, you'll be able to talk to NPC's like you would any human. Search for video: Unbelievable AI Breakthrough Interactive AI Characters in a Videogame for the First Time! This demo is outstanding. GPT will be WRITING games! It can write meaningful stories. It can fill in your tax form, prepare your business/wedding speech and discuss its merits with you, and organise your professional work rapidly It can understand humour It can teach! Efficently! Sensibly! Find the Khan Academy video. It can write code/script good enough to frighten a senior programmer who can see it already is as good as junior coders and some seniors. He's afraid because it is certain to take over HIS job in due time, possibly only months away. An AI bomb has been dropped with GPT-4 and many do not yet realise how life-changing it will be - greater even than the advent of the internet. I give it 5 years to change the efficiency of almost everything tenfold, a hundredfold.
