I successfully installed DR Flatpak version 3.2 (Linux). There are still files remaining from the previous build from source installation. What do I have to remove to properly uninstall?

After several months of hard work, we are proud to announce the latest edition of "No Honor Among Thieves"!!! EFX EDITION!!! EFX reverb has been added to all missions! NHAT has never been more immersive. From the dry woody reverb of the local pub to the sonorous and lofty echo of the Cathedrals, prepare your ears for a auditory treat! PERFORMANCE!!! Several major sore spots that impacted performance in v3 and older have been substantially optimized. Players with less capable hardware will now be less frustrated traversing caves, courtyards, and forests. VISUALS!!! Many areas have been visually overhauled!!! Improved lighting, new scene geometry, new textures, new water effects ( thanks @Arcturus !!! ), more vertex blended terrains, and more. Some areas have been visually redesigned to better match the story and convey the key characters. GAMEPLAY!!! Some new play areas have been added. A little more rooftop action is available for climbers. A few new readables for side characters expand the lore of the mission. Improved AI scripted events in the final mission escape sequence!!! Other things: The ROQ videos have been converted to MP4 to make them more compatible with the latest TDM versions. This mission still uses 2.09 style API controlled videos, we will rework the menu gui to be 2.10 (beta) compatible shortly so that "Dev Build" players can enjoy the additional performance and improvements available in those builds. Credits: @Bikerdude for the majority of the mapping work in this overhaul @Dragofer for assisting with scripting and def setup @nbohr1more new cathedral textures and improved water material def setup, a few readables @Arcturus MD3 animated water and water textures Original crew: @Goldchocobo @RailGun @Mortem Desino who created the original version along with updates to versions up to v2.0.

Welcome to the forums Ansome! And congrats on making it to beta phase!

Some of you probably know that I made an Unofficial Patch changing some core TDM mechanics and tools to make the TDM world more consistent and realistic in my point of view. So while playing "Hazard Pay" I noticed that Kingsal added an invisibility potion, which I rather liked, so I took a look at how he did this. I learned that he based it on the unused speed potion for which the model already exists and which is even shown in the TDM wiki. Now I have some questions about it: - Was the speed potion supposed to speed up the player or slow down the world? - Why was the speed potion never implemented and are there plans to still do so? - If I would add it to the patch, could it become a part of the default vendor items? - If I would add it to the patch, would you like a speed potion or invisibility potion? In my opinion an invisibility potion would make more sense, as TDM is much more about not being seen compared to being able to run away, for which we already have the flash bombs. Of course one problem would be how to make the potion available to the player if it does not replace another item which is were the shopping list before the mission starts comes in. If this is fixed for each mission though I don't see a way to do this unless the mission adds some on purpose.

Yeah it would be cool to see some more detailed statistics and it’s a shame they aren’t really captured. Since we are talking about fan mission platforms, where players also make the content for the game, I feel like the best thing we’ve got is you can look at the number of content releases for the games. Keep in mind the graph counts campaigns as single missions - so for example NHAT and TBP both count as 1 mission. A good year for TDM has has approaching maybe 50% - mostly we’re 25-30%. https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=152494 You could also look at the number of ratings thief missions get on https://www.thiefguild.com/ vs TDM ones, but that is pretty iffy in that you could chalk that up to more awareness of the site in the thief community than TDM Out of curiosity is there a reason a thief player can’t be a new player? I kind of think a player is a player and new players would be ones who are playing the dark mod who weren't? Is there disagreement the base of players most likely to pick up the game are fans of the thief games? They are certainly the most fruitful place to find feedback on the game beyond the sphere of this forum that I have seen. When we were trying to finish up SLL there was a lot of discussion on the forums about how long it had been since there was a release for the game. I am thankful that the stats show at least some stability over the years in terms of releases for TDM, but the trend for all of the games is decline. Not doing anything is a valid response if that’s what the devs want to do - it is not possible to provide evidence that any effort will slow that inertia. As a player and content maker I would just prefer trying to find feedback where it is offered from players who were willing to try the game but ultimately could not engage with it and see if there is anything that can be done within reason to ease them into the game. The game has a lot to offer imo. All those players are potential contributors - contributions in turn attract players - it’d be nice to see the cycle go on as long as it can.

You can try msbuild command to build from command line. Perhaps it won't ask you for updated MSVC license. It should be like: msbuild DarkRadiant.sln /p:Configuration=Release

I'm trying to build the project using the steps on our Wiki. It just uses up all memory and then kills the terminal window I'm running it from Any ideas? https://ibb.co/RTFnLXG [url=https://ibb.co/RTFnLXG][img]https://i.ibb.co/RTFnLXG/image.png[/img][/url] Surely 16GB should be sufficient for make -j?

Here is version 6 of the script. What's new in v6? 1) Mouse wheel sensitivity (number of steps up or down) is no longer a thing. Just move the mouse wheel up one or more steps in a row to accelerate. Move the mouse wheel down one or more steps in a row to decelerate. 2) You can again navigate the inventory, turn pages, numbered dials and move objects you are holding back and forth by using Parry/Manipulate plus the mouse wheel. Please pay attention to the configuration. ------------------------------------ ADJUST PLAYER SPEED WITH THE MOUSE WHEEL v6.0 Credits: Obsttorte, snatcher. Description: Err... adjust player speed with mouse wheel? Topic: Adjust player speed with mouse wheel Installation and execution: Download AutoHotkey, install it, open Notepad, paste the below script inside, save it as TDM.ahk and double click on the file you just saved. The script will run in the background. To end the script, go to the Windows taskbar, look for a green icon with an "H", right click on it and select Exit. Configuration: Settings > Controls > Weapons: Remove mouse wheel bindings from Next Weapon and Previous Weapon (or from any other setting you may have set the mouse wheel to) Settings > Controls > General: Make sure Toggle Crouch is enabled and Always Run is disabled Settings > Controls > Movement: The Forward, Backwards, Left, Right, Run and Creep keys must match in both TDM and the script. Settings > Controls > Actions: The Parry/Manipulate key must match in both TDM and the script. Settings > Controls > Inventory: The Next Inv. Item and Prev Inv. Item must match in both TDM and the script. Recommended controls: Forward / Backward / Left / Right: W, S, A, D Run: Z Creep: C Parry/Manipulate: Right Mouse Button Next Inv. Item / Prev Inv. Item: Right Arrow, Left Arrow Known limitations and workarounds: You can move through the inventory, turn pages, numbered dials and move objects you are holding back and forth using Next / Prev Inv. Item or Parry/Manipulate + the mouse wheel. To prepare for a long jump from idle, move the mouse wheel up before executing your move. Remember the script will switch you automatically from running to walking after one second of inactivity. You cannot lean forward and switch speeds at the same time, for some reason... ; ===================================== ; Adjust player speed with mouse wheel ; ------------------------------------- ; An AutoHotkey script for The Dark Mod ; version 6.0 by Obsttorte & snatcher ; ===================================== ; ------------------------------------- ; Configure your keys below ; ------------------------------------- ; In-game movement keys key_left = a key_right = d key_forward = w key_backward = s ; In-game run and creep keys key_run = z key_creep = c ; In-game manipulate key (recommended right mouse button: RButton) key_manipulate = RButton ; In-game Next/Prev inventory keys key_next = Right key_prev = Left ; ------------------------------------- ; Do not edit anything past this point ; ------------------------------------- delay = 1000 ; delay in miliseconds between running > walking [default = 1000] speed = 0 ; init speed (-1 = creep | 0 = walk [default] | 1 = run) state = speed; counter for state switch #IfWinActive ahk_exe TheDarkModx64.exe ; run only when TDM is focused HotKey, *~%key_forward% up, keyForwardHandler return keyForwardHandler: if (speed == 1) ; we are running { sleep, delay if (!GetKeyState(key_forward) && !GetKeyState(key_backward) && !GetKeyState(key_right) && !GetKeyState(key_left)) { speed = 0 ; walk Send {%key_run% up} } } return *wheelup:: if (GetKeyState(key_manipulate)) { Send {%key_next%} } else { state += 1 if (speed == -1) ; we are creeping { speed = 0 ; walk Send {%key_creep% up} } else if (speed == 0) ; we are walking { speed = 1 ; run Send {%key_run% down} } state = 0 Sleep, 300 } return *wheeldown:: if (GetKeyState(key_manipulate)) { Send {%key_prev%} } else { state -= 1 if (speed == 0) ; we are walking { speed = -1 ; creep Send {%key_creep% down} } else if (speed == 1) ; we are running { speed = 0 ; walk Send {%key_run% up} } state = 0 Sleep, 300 } return Change-log: v6.0: You can now use as many mouse wheel steps as you like to switch speeds.

To allow for a greater freedom of movement, the script requires to know now your backwards, right and left keys. v4.0: Altered so that when player is running and stops, you are back to walking mode. v3.0: The script only runs when TDM is in focus (tested in Win 10) v2.0: Second version by Obsttorte v1.0: First version by Obsttorte Cheers!

Lxqt is more comparable to xfce since they're both de's. I find only openbox (wm) a little too limited. I once combined xfce with openbox as wm. But nowadays it doesn't give you enough extra speed I think.

Some days ago, Several builds of "the one" 2001 early build of Duke Nukem forever, been leaked online some days ago. This package includes the editor, but also its source-code. And some reviewers says is it legit. Whats your opinion about it?

You can work around this error by putting a completely empty file called tdm_turret_scriptbased.script in your script folder, and temporarily removing all turrets from the map. Would still be interesting to see whether 10518 is the first build where the problem appears, or beta1.

Greets. I just setup VS 2022 Community/VC++/MFC on a fresh box, and did a Checkout with TortoiseSVC from the public repository of build 16481-9881 (matching a fresh 9881 dev install of TDM environment, as required). When I do the build, I get a link error: Can't find file libavcodec.lib I'm not finding that file in the working repository, although I do see the libavcodec folder and avcodec.lib If I select DarkModTools/Properties, I'm able to go to the Link/Input field and see where libavcodec.lib is listed, but I can't edit it to change it to avcodec.lib (says it's inherited) I'm kinda rusty, haven't used VS since 2015, so this may be a trivial thing. Help?

I am curious as to which distributions and tool version are known to work when compiling either the 2.10 source archive or svn trunk. Cmake errors out with both Archlinux and Mint 21 for me. For good measure I will include some information I gathered about these errors, but I just want to be able to successfully build tdm on something. (My end goal is to compile in either pulseaudio or pipewire support for openal if that's possible; even though this thread got my audio working (arch audio subsystem is pipewire{,-alsa,-audio,-pulse} & jack2 ) ) I've also tried compiling against the latest svn trunk, that fails too, although the point in which it fails is slightly different. What do the developers use to build the linux release? System information for the failed builds against the 2.10 archive: System #1: cmake 3.22.1 | gcc 11.3.0 | kernel 5.15.0-56-generic | distro Linux Mint 21 System #2: cmake 3.25.1 | gcc 12.2.0 | kernel 5.15.83-1-lts | distro Arch Linux src archive used: sha256sum thedarkmod.2.10.src.7z 73aa974635293e6ca07396be19901355f8224637bdf3ce73404b8eef74148a1c thedarkmod.2.10.src.7z Build command from root of extracted src: [ -d build ] && rm -rf build mkdir build && cd build && cmake --debug-output --loglevel=DEBUG -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Release" .. &> cmake.$distro.log && \ make -d --debug=a -j &> make.$distro.log ; cd .. make.mint.log.gz make.arch.log.gz cmake.mint.log.gz cmake.arch.log.gz

Yes, however, did more tests now. The problem already starts with the first beta build. When downgrading to 2.11, everything works fine.

By the way, with the new high mantle speed I am as powerful as ever. AI should get an upgrade from time to time as well.

Can anyone help with the following? When running make, I get this when it gets to OpenGLRenderSystem: Never mind. I built it again without errors.

See the section "Additional Information" in https://bugs.thedarkmod.com/view.php?id=6402 for a possible workaround where you control the movement type (creep, walk, or run) by the left analogue trigger. What you are requesting may be something like "control movement type by movement speed" mentioned higher up in the description of that issue.

I didn't notice anything in this change (positive feedback I guess) other than the high mantle speed. Give us players more power (faster, better, insta, auto...) and most will embrace it without hesitation. Good, bad? I don't know. A choice in the design of your game. What troubles me is the motivation, justification and presentation of a couple of recent changes. My perception is that all this is very personal. My perception is that this is more about Thief than TDM.

You made new saves under the latest build right?

Hi, this mission is crashing on my system and I cannot go on. Playing "Hidden Hands - The lost citadel" Version 6 on Fedora Linux Version 38. I paste the whole output of the console below.

The devs didn't title this thread, and @datiswous said they're attempting to mislead people by using Russell's name and a retro style to make it resemble Thief, which is cynical. I grew up on forums like I'm sure anyone who likes a game from '98 did. I actually left the Discord immediately after joining it because it was more off-topic doom-posting than anything relevant to the mod. I thought the forums might be better, but it's mostly just grown men yelling at clouds and telling strangers how mature they are, and a few brave souls actually developing anything. Depressing place, I'll just stick to enjoying new missions every 6 months without an account.

True, but, 1. this thread is called "Western stealth FPS with Stephen Russell", and, 2. nothing you said changes anything for me. The gameplay still doesn't look like something I'd enjoy. And, if you really think this forum is cynical, then you don't visit forums much. Actually, the majority of the users are are pretty mature, unlike in other forums.

@MirceaKitsuneThanks for the playthrough and feedback! In recent memory my mapping efforts have gone to new projects that I feel more inspired for - I think they would probably also be more interesting to the broader TDM community. The fix to Linux users getting stuck at map start was fixed in 12-06. The FM update only covers datiswous' new subtitles and an early attempt to fix the stuck bug by moving the player start a few units. The ship was made from scratch for this FM with an exterior and interior. It's my first ship asset and I've made a lot more ships since then and which have gone up in build quality progressively. You can send me a PM if you need to get sorted out with a ship for an FM.

Great take on it and solution from what I understand! Will the normal Beta 6 contain this patch? If so it's easier to wait till then, otherwise if it's important I can of course give the test build a try given it doesn't mess with my normal install.
