I tried to use it, but putting it into my map, on DM startup - it complains I am trying to bind world to the crate. It is not bound to anything that I can see. Shame, I wanted to put loot inside it - to be discovered when crate is destroyed (pushing it off a ledge? I guess a script that swaps out standard crate for fragments, and place loot would be a work-around. Guess that is why it is under Test. OK, I tried again - this time no problem with the bind, BUT how can it be destroyed? Tried blackjack, every kind of arrow. Tried setting health at 1, even max_stress to 1 1 1. Drat! I guess only bottles break...

It's a small map for testing purposes. I've been working on it for the last 3 months. It's only one large "room" so there's not much gameplay but I hope you'll enjoy it anyway. You can download the demo here: http://www.moddb.com...ated-grass-demo The file is rather large because there is a lot of custom material: models, particles etc. NPCs are set to neutral. There are fish in the pool but they are easy to overlook. If you use godmode and swim a bit longer you should spot them. I created the map with LOD set to 'very high'. By default it's set to 'normal' so you should set 'Object detail (LOD)' in Video -> Advanced to 'Very high'. Otherwise models will disappear too soon. Some more screenshots:

Here's the pre-release build 3.1.0pre2 After this pre-release phase I'm going to consider doing this differently, like pushing out the releases more regularly, skipping the "beta" phase. It's a lot of work putting the pre-releases together, and I'm somewhat tired of it. What's new: The Texture Tool got its Free Scale operator now, allowing you to fit the texture with the mouse instead of having to type in the percentages. A lot of work went into the Declaration handling (EntityDef, Skins, Materials, Particles, etc.), which is now much more robust and more conformant to how the game is doing things (at least until TDM 2.10). The Material Editor got a plethora of issues resolved Improved the Model Export dialog and options For more things that have changed or fixed, see the list below.

Here's the pre-release build 3.0.0pre8, we're getting closer to the finish line. It's about time for a new major release - not just because of the changes of this build, but for all the improvements made over the last few releases. I'm going to need your help stabilising this release, with all the renderer changes things are bound to require a few tweaks. Most time since 2.14 has been spent on the renderer, which should now be faster in regular (non-lit) render mode. Lit render mode is probably not going to be faster, but at least more accurate. You can activate Shadow Mapping, and the interaction shader code has been ported over from TDM to produce the same look as the game. Starting with this release, the user settings will be saved separately for each DR version, meaning that this release won't mess with the settings of the previous versions, including keyboard shortcuts, colours, last used maps, etc. DR will try to import and use any settings of previous releases, but it won't change them.

Here's the DR 2.14.0pre2 build for every interested mapper to test. This release focused on DarkRadiant's texturing abilities, the Texture Tool and some of the Surface Inspector algorithms have been completely rewritten. A new model importer UI has been added with the ability to convert FBX models into a format compatible to the game (it can also convert LWO, ASE and OBJ models). The EntityInspector can now deal with more than one selected entities, showing the shared key values in the list. Copy/Paste Textures across angled faces: Texture Tool Rotate Tool (use "R" hotkey to switch) Surface Inspector Harmonise Scale / Linked Scaling Surface Inspector Normalise EntityInspector Multi-Selection Support For more things that have changed or fixed, see the list below.

One of basic rules of level design is that a map has to be fun to navigate. And yet even the most seasoned authors seem to struggle with that, to the point that some players are led to believe that player movement in TDM is clunky, which couldn't be further from the truth. So I thought it would be good to have a reference test map to check player abilities and blockout your geometry accordingly. This is by no means final, but hopefully it will give you some idea about when the player movement shines, and what should be avoided. For the sake of simplicity I tested the most common measurements and indicated when things start to be trial and error. Feel free to extend the map with your own ideas, more granular measurements, etc. mantle_ref.pk4

Hey everyone, the last couple of weeks I've been working on an overhaul to TDM's renderer that slightly improves CPU utilization in the game and should thus improve performance in CPU-bottlenecked scenes. This is the next step in our ongoing backend modernization and targeted for 2.09. However, since the changes are quite involved, I'd love to get a headstart on testing, so that we can catch any major problems or regressions early The 2.08 beta test has absolute priority. But if you happen to be curious and have a bit of extra time to spare, I'd appreciate any feedback you can provide. Current test build: https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjobs/q614b4ojrmat3umc/artifacts/TheDarkMod.7z You'll need a 2.08 beta installation. Make a copy of your TheDarkModx64.exe and glprogs folder (if present) so that you can go back to 2.08, then extract the files from the archive to your installation. Instructions for testing: There are two parts to this. First is a new render backend which significantly reduces CPU draw call overhead by better ordering of draw calls and using modern OpenGL features (if available). You can enable it with cvar r_useNewBackend. Most important thing to test here is that there are no visual artifacts or regressions from the new renderer. So ideally go through some scenes and switch between old and new backend and let me know if you notice any differences For good measure, you can also try to toggle the cvars r_useMultiDrawIndirect and r_useBindlessTextures, which toggle two particular modern OpenGL features that the new backend can use. Ideally, toggling these should not result in any visual changes, either. The second part is further parallelization of a particularly compute-heavy step in the renderer. @duzenko spent some time to port BFG threading code to TDM, and this initial work is already in 2.08. However, it wasn't quite stable, so enabling it in 2.08 causes crashes eventually. I spent some more time stabilizing this portion, and combined with the new backend, it should yield some FPS increases in CPU-heavy scenes. To enable this feature, enable the cvar r_useParallelAddModels (caution: disable this when going back to 2.08, or you'll have crashes!). Here, I'm mostly looking for confirmation that it runs without crashes. You can also tweak the level of parallelization with the cvar jobs_numThreads. It defaults to 2, if you have 6 or more cores, I'd advise to increase it to 4. Further increments don't seem to yield much improvement. Thanks for your time! Oh, and just to give an idea of why I did this: This is performance with 2.08: And this is with r_useNewBackend and r_useParallelAddModels enabled:

DarkRadiant 2.7.0 has been released, this thread is out of date: Here's the DR 2.7.0pre5 build for motivated mappers to test. It's a maintenance build for the most part, but it contains a few smaller improvements. As usual, a bit of refactoring and improvement has been happening under the hood, but this shouldn't have any negative impact. Especially, I would be interested if installation works, as I've moved forward to Visual Studio 2019 for this build. OrbWeaver has been working on a DarkRadiant user guide which is continuously expanded and available on the website https://www.darkradiant.net/userguide (also accessible through the About > User Guide menu option).

Not so long ago I found what could make a pretty good profile picture and decided to try it out on these new forums. But I couldn't find a button anywhere that would let me change it. I asked on Discord and it seems Spooks also couldn't find anything anywhere. So I logged into an old alternative account and, lo and behold, that account has a button. This is on the first screen I get when I: 1) click on my account name in the top-right of the browser -> 2) click on 'profile'. Compared to my actual account: Are you also missing this button on your account? It'd be very much appreciated if that functionality could be restored to any of the affected accounts.

I posted this in the Radiant forum, and have filed a bug report. After a week, no response from anyone, so I'm elevating it to this forum. Hopefully it will catch someone's eye.

Hi, I need to know what the code is to use Spoiler Tags. I am using my tablet and I don't have the options to use anything, like spoiler tags, quote tags, text changes etc. Thanks

I just made a test with script here from darkmod but i put $player1 and not work after $info_player_start_1 and nothing. If possible help me. please. Create the script file If your map is called for example maps/mydir/mymap.map, you must create a text file maps/mydir/mymap.script. The contents The map script needs to contain a main function. This function is called at the very start of your map, e.g. when the map is loaded for the first time. So if you want something to happen later, you need to pause the script and then do something. Here is an example:
