Check out the new Blinking Items Mod...

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.

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.

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? -
And any time you move at all - your light meter shows you to be minimally visible? (The next visibility level up from if you were to stand still.) Motion should attract more attention, or no? Of course people expect games to be more fun than realistic, but bugs me a bit personally. - Would that match with how detection system works in TDM? And if so: - Do you think it would add anything to the game as a custom setting? Make stealth more immersive? Make it too difficult? Ruin existing FM experiences? -
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?

Should first mention this isn't a request as the change is something I should be fully capable of doing on my own: The engine fully supports it and I already used this setup when I imported a bunch of custom models, it just needs to be done for the vanilla ones... something similar was recently implemented to allow torches to have colored flames, this is kinda the same thing but for characters instead. I wanted a discussion thread first so I know if other mappers and players want this and will use it, also if the devs would accept it if I was to do the work. TDM allows all model entities to contain a grayscale texture which can be set to any color via the "_color" spawnarg of the entity. The only requirement is having the appropriate textures then simply adding your paint image to the material with the "colored" keyword: // Shirt { blend diffusemap map models/md5/chars/guard/body_shirt colored } I'd like some of the AI characters to support this for setting custom colors on clothes. Imagine you make a city where you want the city watch to be red instead of the default blue as it would fit your theme better, you'd just set "_color 0.5 0 0" on your guard and you have them representing your faction of choice! It would be just as useful on civilians to easily obtain more unique characters without needing extra assets for each... what if you want the nobleman with the green tunic to have a purple tunic, or the noblewoman with the blue dress to have a red dress? Obviously this requires editing the character textures... I've done this sort of thing many times in Gimp fortunately, might even be able to generate them with a bash script using ImageMagick; The color just needs to be extracted from the base diffuse texture, desaturated, then put in a separate image as an intensity map. By saving it as grayscale with no alpha channel it should take up little extra space, granted the engine doesn't have issues with grayscale tga / dds compressed images (all specular maps should also be using that). Obviously each affected character would have a default "_color" spawnarg matching the default color so existing FM's won't see any changes. There's only one issue here: Due to the colorization technique being different, there's likely no way it can be made to look the exact same way... the clothes may appear just a little more or less bright or saturated, not by a lot just that it likely won't be perfectly the same. Is that considered too breaking to be accepted, or are there other reasons why anyone believes I shouldn't spend time on this?

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

Version 3.14.15926 General Changes: Added a new game mode where all AI are replaced with clowns. All loot items now make a "boing" sound when picked up. All in-game text has been translated to Pig Latin. Players now have a 50% chance of slipping on banana peels. Guards now have a 50% chance of sneezing, alerting nearby enemies. AI Changes: Guards now randomly break into song and dance numbers. Thieves now occasionally stumble and trip over themselves, making them easier for guards to catch. Zombies now wear silly hats. Level Design Changes: The player's objective is now to steal a giant rubber chicken from a noble's mansion. All buildings in the game world now have exaggerated, cartoonish proportions. The game now takes place entirely in a giant ball pit. Audio Changes: All sound effects have been replaced with foley sounds created by mouth noises. The soundtrack now exclusively features kazoo covers of popular songs. Bug Fixes: Fixed a bug where players could get stuck in a wall by crouching and jumping repeatedly. Fixed a bug where players could "swim" through the air by rapidly jumping while falling. Fixed a bug where the AI would sometimes try to speak in emojis.

https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Briefing#Controlling_Where_the_Player_Starts On the section about "Controlling Where the Player Starts" there is a download link, but it's a dead link. Does somebody have this altered mainmenu_briefing.gui ? Or otherwise, is there a mission where it's used? I thought maybe it could be added to core, to the same file, but have that section editted out by default, or make a renamed version? Same for Button Controlled Animated Briefing and Timed Flowing Briefing (although maybe without the example images), I think they should be things in core. Doesn't take up much space and then they never get lost. Edit: Testmap: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YQQknGlVJE9TJyItE_H2KjggvrIAuhnf/view?usp=sharing (with working self-made test mainmenu_briefing.gui file) When you start normal startlocation is near sand-sack. When in last frame of briefing you klick on text, mission starts near bucket oposite of room instead. Currently only works up to TDM 2.09

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? -
Fm idea (braindump)
"Experience the life of a mission builder"
Esentially there are finnished elements placed somewhere in storage in the game and you have to place them in the correct places, build some walls here and there, add guard routes, give them their correct speech lines, etc. Decorate the places.. all in-game. lots of fun..
If you do it right in the end you can play the mission.
(would be even cooler if a thief-ai could play the mission, making it some kind of tower-defence game)
This first started as an idea for an aquarium builder mission where-in you have to fill an empty aquarium with sand, waterplants, castles water and swimming fish. But above idea is more fun.

Excellent idea!

It'd take some kind of genius scripting to make this, right?
-
I thought about using:
Quote- location Object in location brush (using info_tdm_objective_location brush)
https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Objectives#Non-AI_Components
It's probably not literally creating the whole mission, but more finishing it by adding doors, furniture, lights, ai, build (some) walls by stacking stones. You could have fake leaks that you have to repair.
This might just interest a whole new group of gamers.

For those wondering how to use the slow match to ignite something: Take the slow match out of your inventory using "Drop Inv. Item" key. That puts the slow match into your "hands". Physically touch the slow match to what you want to ignite, such as a candle. The "Parry/Manipulate" key can help. To put the slow match back into your inventory, use the "Use Inv. Item" key. Originally, I tried to use the slow match using the "Use Inv. Item" key while a candle was frob-highlighted, but it did nothing. I was confused, and my web searching found no info on how to use it properly. Also, the wiki doesn't have instructions yet: https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Slow_match

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).

So, any thoughts? I had a very mixed reaction while watching the movie, enjoying some scenes, and cringing at others. But the more I've thought about the movie after seeing it, the more annoying I find the decisions that were made. For me it's by far the worst of the 3 Disney SWs.

Just gonna leave this here, saying support for the women in Iran fighting for their rights from being treated like lesser beings, and also support for those men who choose to stand with them against the Ayatollah's madness.

The cool part of Canonical's Snap, is that my machine can now ray-trace an entire (simple) scene faster than it takes the web browser to start!

Snap is complete garbage. Another useless me-too duplicate project by Canonical that nobody else will ever use and will hopefully go the same way as Mir once Canonical come to their senses and start using FlatPak like everybody else.

Figured I'd ask about this here before posting on the bug tracker, there might be a reason why it hasn't been done yet. Let me explain my reasoning first: When creators are working on multiple FM's at once, each one will obviously be located in its own directory. Most FM's contain custom assets and definitions, when working with maps in DarkRadiant you need to select their data folder for additional defs. This is done by going to File - Game / Project Setup - Mission and selecting it there. The issue: Let's say you want to take a break from one FM and work on another. Each time you load a map from a different FM, you also need to go to that menu and select it from there, otherwise custom assets won't be detected and appear as missing in DR. This is quite a bit of an annoyance. Suggestion: Is it not possible to detect and automatically select the active mission from the path the map is located in? We know every map should be located in "darkmod/fms/name/maps", so why not automatically extract the maps directory and set that to "darkmod/fms/name"? If there's an issue with getting such detection right, we can at worst simply store this information in the map.darkradiant file, so even if the player needs to first select it manually the choice is remembered per map and automatically reverted when you load it. We could technically do this with the other settings in that menu, such as Game Type and Darkmod Path. Not sure how much we need it for those unless someone is working with multiple installs and wants the convenience. Sounds good if doable but the important one is the mission directory as that must always be changed with the map you're editing.

Bachelor Mapping Challenge!
The girlfriend will be away to her mum's place for almost a week, which means more mapping time for me! I'm planning a speed build. Hope it will go my way
I'm starting by downloading 2.11. Don't know if I'm going to use any fancy new stuff. Just want to crack those itching map muscles that has gone dry and dead since almost a year's worth of no-mapping
