Elo again As the title says, I'm after a model of a Hookah - its how the nobles smoke their Mandrasola. Its just for one user. Modern metal/Glass - Antique -

the texture table_medallion its sizes is not divideable by 2 on the table_medallion.tga its 580x593 on table_medallion_s.tga its 580x593 and table_medallion_ed.jpg its 250x256, its used by all the round table skins, and darkradiant complains that table_medallion is not found in the shaderlibrary. wont this cause a crash on ati based video cards.

Hello all. I have a crossfire setup with 2 HD 4850 cards. I of course run into the famous Catalyst AI bug, etc, so I need to run the game with AI off (which, for those who may not know, disables crossfire...cant use both cards is AI is off, which is pure crap) I am getting pretty poor performance in general when it comes to lighting. In most areas of the training map, no issues. A solid 60fps, with AA set at 2, and AF at 16. 1600x1200 res, interaction at high. But, when I get to an area lit by quite a few light sources, my frame rate drops in half. An example is in the training mission, right where the swinging rope is 1st introduced and there is a bunch of ledges and water, I end up at almost exactly 30fps. Another example is in the 2nd room of the 'business as usual' level, with the mirror. I face that mirror, and its chop city. When I turn off lighting or lower the distance of the lighting via console commands, back to 60fps, so def a lighting issue rather than a geometry one. This would not bother me too much except for 2 things - one being that at 30fps it feels quite choppy, choppier than it should be since we see things at 25-30 frames a second with our eyes. 30 should be plenty good, but it feels more stuttery, like it was really at 24 or lower. Second is that I have the well known 'micro-stutter' issue that many ATI owners have had, so I have to set com_precicetic to 0 and com_fixedtic to 1, which irons out the micro-stutter like a charm, but when the frames drop things go into slow-mo. Literally, everything is then moving at half speed. Very sucky. So I either play with the 2 console commands at default, and have choppy FPS at these areas, and micro-stutter every 1sec or so, or I play with these console commands set at the values presented above, fixing micro-stutter but putting things in super slo-mo when turning corners into well lit rooms. I have tried everything from modifying the interactions shader file, to trying with all options low, and tampering with may console commands involving lighting, to no avail. Just to fill in all the blanks, my system is a Dell XPS 630i, quad core proc, 2x4850 cards, 8gig ram. I play some of the top-line modern games better than the doom 3 engine from years ago is running for me. If anyone has any ideas, I would be grateful.

Titles says all.

inventor_goggles, I can find the Cm but not the model... grrr why is it I always find the thing Im looking for after I post a request for help finding it - models/darkmod/wearables/headgear/inventor_goggles.lwo

Can someone remind me if we have a ewiki entry on how to do this..? I am looking to make a bklue version of our glass texture. - textures/darkmod/glass/clear ta.

Here you go, these are the sites I hit up when I'm looking for particular textures. Animax (best of the bunch) Imageafter Amazing Textures Famous Paintings Cambridge 200 Botanical Textures Mayang's Textures Ben Cloward Textures and Tutorials Cornice Moulding 3D Excellence 3Dtronic Textures Bradbury Victorian Wallpapers Waverly Wallpapers and Home Decor Lemog 3D Afflict Textures (meh, not the greatest. But there are a couple of good ones here) Image Stock Megatex Travis Price Gallery Pixelperfect (can be slow, but good) Diwesign Texture Warehouse Stockvault Edit: Added August 23rd Landmark Metalcoat

I was wondering if anyone has the time and desire to create a rather simple custom model for me. I've seen it plenty of times playing Thief 2 FMs and it looks to be a foot rest/small seat for noble areas. If possible it would be great to have multiple skins for different colors to go with it as well and I can't speak on behalf of the TDM team but I think it would make a great addition to the core mod as well. Here's a picture of the item below. Thanks!

I raised a tracker to fix texture darkmod/sfx/black_matt but want to check with mappers first because it's been used in loads of maps. The description of black_matt is: //matt black - there are already blacks but cannot get _black nor bc_black to reference as diffusemap Whoever set up black_matt didn't quite know how to achieve the right effect. It's not really matt black. The tga image is rgb 1,1,1 instead of 0,0,0 so it reflects some diffuse light (I assume they tried a 0,0,0 image and found it didn't work), plus It's light-interacting so it has default specularity. It can look distinctly grey if you put a light right next to it and look at it from an oblique angle. Really it should have been set up to be opaque but not be light-interacting at all. A 0,0,0 filter blend instead of a diffuse map, combined with the forceOpaque keyword, would probably be right. I used this texture in a map that I was working on before getting into TDM coding, for the bottom of wells, and to block holes in walls where rods poke through etc, where I wanted to make shallow holes appear to be deeper than the player could see while sealing the visleaf. I'm not sure how others have used it though. I did an existing map check and it's been used lots. Should we change it to be properly black?

I have a typical elevator like the one in St. Lucia or Outpost. I made a new model for the made-from-brushes buttons on the controller, and replaced the "model" spawnarg on the button entity with the new model. This has somehow made the button no longer frob or work at all. All the other spawnargs have not been changed. Is this known to break buttons? Can't the model be anything?

While doing some repairs on WS2 last night, I spent a couple hours repairing the horizontal/vertical scaling on a couple custom textures. Models, func_statics, and patches were untouched, but the world brushes had suffered a mysterious 4x or 8x change in their scaling values, causing the textures to become huge. This wasn't just a few brushes, but every brush face that used that texture. I recently switched two aspects of my work: - I changed from DR 1.8.1 to DR 2.0.2 - I changed the base darkmod folder from 2.03 to SVN I can't tie this problem directly to either change, because, until last night, I hadn't done any work near the corrupted textures since switching. I can't think of anything else that might have caused this. (DR seems the likely culprit, since it writes the *.map file.) The two textures in question are the red brick on the Builder church and the metal ceiling in the City Watch station. The brick had suffered a multiplier of 8 in the horizontal and 4 in the vertical. The ceiling texture had suffered a 4x change in both scales. Has anyone else seen this problem?

Had a problem with the web server yesterday that led to a crashed table in the forum database. This has now been repaired and things seems to work again. I was on travel so it took a while before I was able to fix it. Merry Christmas!
