If you haven't already, take a look at https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Setting_up_Campaigns#Scripting Calls like sys.setPersistantArg and sys.getPersistant* might do what you want?

This may make sense in that the performance impact of the volumetric effect can scale with how much of the effect is filling the screen. We shipped with a “performance mode” but had to setup the entities by hand to do it (so it’s not perfect). If you change the LOD detail settings to “Low” or “Lowest” this will disable certain lights, particles and such that can be very heavy to render. You can try these settings and see if you notice an improvement. If not sending us some pictures of heavy areas (with spoiler tags please) will be helpful with tuning these “performance modes” in subsequent patches. Thanks for playing!

I am pleased to announce the release of our new fan mission, The Hare in the Snare: Part 1 Mission type: City Missions + Inn/Tavern Description: People are being abducted off the streets and a Watch Captain requires the services of a thief to help him find out why. Download link (v1.0.2-release): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HYvM_u56wDB16uIlb7qgS_q3P24V69MO/view?usp=sharing Credits: Mapping and original characters: @Frost_Salamander Story, readables, custom models, voices and cinematics: @Kerry000 Menu title track produced and mixed by @JackFarmer with selected gigagooga sound samples Beta testers: @Cambridge Spy @Zerg Rush @Amadeus @Acolytesix @Lzocast @wesp5 @nbohr1more @Kerry000 @ate0ate @Wellingtoncrab @prjames Additional thanks: @Dragofer, @nbohr1moreand @peter_spyfor technical help @Springheel for the modules and tutorials @kingsalfor allowing @Kerry000to abuse his manbeast everyone else on Discord and the TDM forums who offered assistance Requirements and notes: This mission requires TDM 2.09. Earlier versions will probably work but you might see one or two missing models. You may experience some FPS drops in some areas with lower-end hardware. Mid-range and above should be fine. If you have issues, I highly recommend you use shadow maps instead of stencil (settings -> advanced -> shadows implementation). It makes a big difference. For 'Hard' and 'Expert' the light gem sensitivity has been increased by '1' (meaning easier for AI to detect you). Screenshots:

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

After a long time and a lot of delays, I'm extremely happy and relieved to announce the release date for my first map; Lords & Legacy, on Friday the 30th of August, 2013! Lords & Legacy v.2.1 Resume: Screenshots: http://imgur.com/a/Lj8UJ#0 Notes: Build time: 2013/03/30 - 2013/08/30 To install, simply put the .pk4 file in your fm folder and install from the in-game mission menu. It is a large mission with optional objectives, so make sure to save often. The ropes in the beginning have a 'slick' surface, to simulate being 'slack lines'. They are difficult, but once you get a hang of the slide they can be fun. A couple of the large areas can be a bit rough on performance, and can be improved by adjusting the LOD slider in video options. A few of visportals open only when you get close. This is to keep the frames smooth inside the respective building, due to early inexperienced design. If you find any bugs which affect the gameplay experience, then you're very welcome to post them here, but please use the spoiler tags. Big thanks to 'Obsttorte', 'Springheel', 'Greyman', 'Bikerdude', 'Sotha' and rest of 'The Dark Mod Team'for all the help, guides and tricks. Also thanks to the other TDM users who provided fantastic support and feedback during the build. Thank you for beta-testing: 'Bikerdude', 'TylerVocal', 'Simplen00b', 'nbohr1more', 'Briareos H.' Special thanks to: 'Danus', 'Dsx' & 'Stanleh' for testing, help and support. v.2.0.1 changelog: Bugs: -The "Master Thief" challenge was impossible to do for a while, due to incorrect values. Fixed. -Getting seen by "The Killer" now also fails the "Ghost" challenge. -The 3 cardplaying guards no longer float mid air, as their chairs are now nailed to the floor. -Fixed the sound of the furnace continuing after the flames were extinguished. -Fixed weird glittering on the power cables around the map. -Fixed some moonlight popping in and out. -Fixed openable windows in Commons, clipping into the frame. -Fixed a book dropping through a desk. -Fixed visportals closing too close in Lancel's Tower, slight hit on performance though. -Added more monsterclip to Service Tower and Robert's Tower's entrance. -Improved a few vis_portals with func_portals. -Replaced curbs in Slums and Commons with some more detailed versions and changed textures. And a lot more little unecessary tweaks. Gameplay: -Added new challenge: (Jack White) - Do not knock-out anyone. -Reduced the amount of starting gear, depending on difficulty. -Added cubemaps to most windows on the map. -Redid most func_statics in Commmons Quarter to reduce tris and increase performance. Draw count is still somewhat high. -Removed all transparent windows as they didn't have actual gameplay value, just a performance drain in exchange for glitchy visuals. -Lancel's safe can no longer be picked. Find the key! -Added a couple minor cosmetic details in the sewers. -Moved a coinpurse from a wealthy commoner's sleeping butt to his nightside table. Also adjusted his furniture so thieves can better move around. -Changed sounds for several doors across the map. Once again, a big thanks to 'Bikerdude' for taking the time help out and locate room for improvement! v.2.0 changelog: Bugs: -Fixed various textures and surfaces and a few minor tweaks. -Tweaked some sounds to be in line with TDM 2.0 changes. -Fixed 2 certain AIs being too sensitive rather than drunk. (Thanks to AluminumHaste!) -Tweaked LOD on some objects, to prevent windows "popping" in and out. Gameplay: -Added more monsterclip to the towers, so the AI can now run up and down stairs. Only the stairs in the small tower has issues still. -Added more monsterclip in the city so the guards can follow you up all stairs. -Added a few minor details. -Windows in the city now dims sound, resulting in less aggro from guards and more convincing soundscape. -Reduced 'draw calls' in all the large areas, increasing performance. The map is still heavy at certain areas. Another big thanks to 'Bikerdude' and 'Greyman', for taking time out of their own schedules to help optimize the map's draw count and other significant adjustements! v.1.0.3 changelog: Bugs: -Fixed 4 black chairs in one of the towers -Fixed a floating painting -Fixed several clipping objects v.1.0.2 changelog: Bugs: -Fixed zfighting in the library's bookshelves -Fixed a black window in one of the towers -Fixed several typos in readables Gameplay: v.1.0.1 changelog: Bugs: -Fixed an issue with the main objectives not being in "sync". -Fixed console spam from a script Gameplay: -Adjusted required loot for each difficulty from "3000, 4000 and 5000" to "2500, 3500 and 4500".

Hello, there were rumors, that the current antique shop owner and sometime-maybe-to-be-lord Geoffrey Rowanson had lost a shipment of fine paintings due to a thieving event. Luckily I was able to buy them from a fence so that they eventually can find their place in new locations in the city. ---- A large picture of the paintings is at the bottom of this post. I had quite some fun constructing this together. There are normal paintings, weird paintings, erotic paintings and irritating ones. On some of them a second look is needed to even identify that something is not as it "should be" (weirdness factor). It would be really nice if it would be possibly to integrate them into TDM. Documentation first: here is the source and licensing information for each painting. Each of the paintings also has its own sometimes very surprising story, so it's worth following the links to metmuseum.org. https://das-kartell.org/files/thedarkmod/paintings/sources_licenses.txt License information: Open Access/Public Domain Savitri painting_savitri.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/838323 Vanitas Still Life painting_still_life_vanitas.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/435918 The Garden of Love painting_garden_of_love.jpg painting_garden_of_love.png https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/468064 Rubens painting_family.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/437532 Merry Company on a Terrace painting_merry_company.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/437749 The Declaration of Love painting_declaration_of_love.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/438127 Woman_man_casement painting_woman_man_casement.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/436896 Vanderlyn painting_portrait_man.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/13053 Basket of Flowers painting_basket_of_flowers.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/436175 Judgement painting_judgement.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/436037 Daughters of Catulle painting_daughters.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/438014 Love Letter painting_love_letter.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/437227 The Smokers painting_smokers.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/435807 Following the stags trail painting_trail.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/468096 Feast of Acheloues painting_feast.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/437525 Vase of Flowers painting_vase_of_flowers.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/436634 Wolf and Fox hunt painting_hunt.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/437536 Oedipus and the Sphinx painting_sphinx.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/437153 The Horse Fair painting_horse_fair.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/435702 Aegina visited by Jupiter painting_visit.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/436580 The silver tureen painting_silver_tureen.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/435887 The dissolute household painting_dissolute_household.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/437747 A hunting scene painting_hunting_scene.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/437283 Springtime painting_springtime.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/438158 Temptation painting_temptation.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/828241 Woman playing a guitar painting_guitar.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/747607 The letter painting_letter.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/436904 Marriage painting_marriage.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/437083 Woman reading painting_woman_reading.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/437882 Moreau Galatee painting_galatee.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gustave_Moreau_-_Galat%C3%A9e.jpg Moreau devore painting_devour.jpg https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fichier:Gustave_Moreau_-_Diom%C3%A8de_d%C3%A9vor%C3%A9_par_ses_chevaux.jpg Moreau Diosa painting_diosa.jpg https://www.wikiart.org/en/gustave-moreau/goddess-on-the-rocks Flowers in a Grotesque Vase painting_grotesque_vase.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/816522 Marriage of Wealth.png painting_marriage_of_wealth.png no direct link - Jan Saenredam, 1565-1607, public domain by date Stolen kiss painting_stolen_kiss.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/436325 Afternoon meal painting_afternoon_meal.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/437053 Courtiers in a rose garden painting_rose_garden.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/463189 Musical party painting_musical_party.jpg https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/436267 I made a Photoshop-file to easily apply borders (and created a new border color variation), containing the full size images and the adjusted outputs: https://das-kartell.org/files/thedarkmod/paintings/paintings_1024.psd (1 GB Download) The resolution of the new paintings is 1024px opposed to the 512px of the existing paintings. The detail difference was just too big to use 512px for a texture you look at so long and so often from a very close distance to analyse every detail, here is a comparison 512<>1024px ingame. I want to state that the 1024px texture doesn't make the existing painting look less good if placed side by side to the new ones, as quality and equality of existing textures already in the game according to the wiki have to be considered. Each painting was oriented, scaled and eventually clipped to appear as good as possible in the variety of possible frames. As specular maps the existing ones have been used. Because of the resolution and because of detail issues with the existing normal maps, the creation of adjusted normal maps was necessary. As I don't want to mess with the existing paintings in the game, I created new normal maps for the new images with finer detail and more subtle linen bumps. https://das-kartell.org/files/thedarkmod/paintings/_local.psd After intense testing, I made a 512px normal map layout, which consists of the existing 256px normal map area copied to the new map 4 times and flipped horizontally/vertically for seamless area filling. The intensity was reduced by 50% by overlaying the average color of the image area with a 50% transparency. The painting canvas part has been left untouched. The normal maps have been named after the border type in the paintings_1024.psd and the original normal map name (e.g. painting01, you'll see what I mean if you look at the files in the demomap). ----------------- Currently the paintings are only integrated in my demomap: ogda_demomap: Download (currently no pk4, set TDM\currentfm.txt to "ogda_demomap" and run over console with "map ogda_demomap"): https://das-kartell.org/files/thedarkmod/paintings/ogda_demomap.zip (23 MB) Skin definitions (ogda_demomap): https://das-kartell.org/files/thedarkmod/paintings/ogda_demomap.skin Material definitions (ogda_demomap): https://das-kartell.org/files/thedarkmod/paintings/ogda_demomap.mtr Diffuse and normal maps, Editor images (dds and texture folder): https://das-kartell.org/files/thedarkmod/paintings/paintings_dds_and_textures.zip Source images: https://das-kartell.org/files/thedarkmod/paintings/source_images.zip (101 MB) ----------------- Possible integration of the paintings into TDM. I'm not a team member, so this is speculation by me if this are the correct definitions and locations and of course they would have to be merged with a current development version): I tried my best, but this has to be reviewed (that is if you even want to include them in TDM). Here are my guesses: Diffuse maps should go here (source is the dds folder in https://das-kartell.org/files/thedarkmod/paintings/paintings_dds_and_textures.zip ) dds\models\darkmod\props\textures\ (tdm_models_decorative_wall.mtr references the dds-diffuse map to be in models\darkmod\props\textures\ though, not in dds\...?) _ed-Files and normal maps should go here (source is the texture folder in https://das-kartell.org/files/thedarkmod/paintings/paintings_dds_and_textures.zip ) models\darkmod\props\textures\ Adjusted material definition (my source should be from 2.09 live): materials\tdm_models_decorative_wall.mtr https://das-kartell.org/files/thedarkmod/paintings/tdm_models_decorative_wall.mtr Adjusted skin definition (my source should be from 2.09 live): skins\tdm_decorative_wall.skin https://das-kartell.org/files/thedarkmod/paintings/tdm_decorative_wall.skin ----------------- Finally, here's the overview of the paintings already ingame in my map "ogda_demomap". (additional info: there is a very slight thin dark shadow visible on the right side of each painting in the demomap and the pictures here. That's not a texture error but a shadow caused by a light sitting right of the painting in the demomap, I only noticed this after I was already done taking the pictures.)

Thanks everyone. If all goes well I might have a nice little mod ready by tonight I hope you'll enjoy https://bugs.thedarkmod.com/view.php?id=6326 This bug is currently the last thing limiting me: Please let me know if anyone ever ran into that and knows a workaround or what I'm doing wrong, till whatever causes that can hopefully be fixed. I'm trying to change the player's head and use a custom one for seeing yourself in a mirror, it works but randomly introduces a crashes due to a negative model index.

I'm using the version from kcghost. I just tested and I can't see any difference inside the inventory. On the stats itself it doesn't show the different loot types (still seen in the inventory), but instead gives more info on stealth score. Edit: I see Dragofer made an updated version of his script. I have to check that out. Edit2: That version works: https://forums.thedarkmod.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=21272&key=02755164a3bed10498683771fe9a0453

Added per-game web search urls and defaulted TDM to site:thedarkmod.com. I'm working on downloading/parsing FM information and seeing what I can do with it. I really think an in-app downloader would make things a lot more convenient.

I noticed that too. I'm definitely wanting to add a second URL field at a minimum, or per-game as you say. It'd be cool to be able to just go straight to the forum thread too, which I could do if I got it from that wiki page. I'm just nervous about getting stuff programmatically from the edit section of a wiki page, that just seems like it could change and the url is like some &action=edit which isn't an explicit filename (it's a command to generate a page maybe?) so maybe that could change too? If the text in the source code box were accessible by itself in some explicit file I guess I'd feel less apprehensive. Then again I'm totally inexperienced when it comes to web stuff. For example, http://missions.thedarkmod.com/available_missions.xml is where TDM itself gets the available FMs list from, though that list doesn't have any forum links or much extra info. Although incidentally I could use it to populate the FM titles, authors and dates instead of a local scan, maybe get a bit more accuracy.

Welcome to the Dark Mod forums MarsManon! Thank you very much for the kind words about SLL, it's always nice to hear We all worked real hard on bringing Grayman's map to life and I'm glad you enjoyed it

I was so enchanted by this FM, I had to sign up to the forums the same day I finished it to come thank the authors Genuinely, truly incredible work! I was so overwhelmed in places that I resorted to just shouting joy at my monitor two, three, maybe four entirely separate times while playing. Exploring, puzzling, finding something new, trying to use it, and finding it does a whole new, separate, wonderful thing! There aren't enough words inside me to describe the feeling. It was breathtaking. I don't have any specific feedback that hasn't come through this thread before Thanks so much for making this, for all the inspiration and ingenuity and effort it took. If I never play another level this good, in any other game, in my life, I'd be fine with that.

Compiling with --enable-debug I can see a few extra messages which might explain the ScriptingSystem error (lib64 -> lib symlink present): Gtk-Message: 00:01:30.237: Failed to load module "appmenu-gtk-module" ModuleLoader: loading modules from /archive/mircea/Games/Quake/TheDarkMod/DarkRadiant_GIT/install/bin/../lib/darkradiant/modules/ ModuleLoader: Loading module '/archive/mircea/Games/Quake/TheDarkMod/DarkRadiant_GIT/install/bin/../lib/darkradiant/modules/sound.so' ModuleLoader: Loading module '/archive/mircea/Games/Quake/TheDarkMod/DarkRadiant_GIT/install/bin/../lib/darkradiant/modules/script.so' Error opening library: /archive/mircea/Games/Quake/TheDarkMod/DarkRadiant_GIT/install/bin/../lib/darkradiant/modules/script.so: undefined symbol: PyExc_ValueError ModuleLoader: Loading module '/archive/mircea/Games/Quake/TheDarkMod/DarkRadiant_GIT/install/bin/../lib/darkradiant/modules/libradiantcore.so' /archive/mircea/Games/Quake/TheDarkMod/DarkRadiant_GIT/install/bin/../lib/darkradiant/modules/libradiantcore.so: undefined symbol: RegisterModule ModuleLoader: loading modules from /archive/mircea/Games/Quake/TheDarkMod/DarkRadiant_GIT/install/bin/../lib/darkradiant/plugins/ ModuleLoader: Loading module '/archive/mircea/Games/Quake/TheDarkMod/DarkRadiant_GIT/install/bin/../lib/darkradiant/plugins/dm_stimresponse.so' ModuleLoader: Loading module '/archive/mircea/Games/Quake/TheDarkMod/DarkRadiant_GIT/install/bin/../lib/darkradiant/plugins/dm_difficulty.so' ModuleLoader: Loading module '/archive/mircea/Games/Quake/TheDarkMod/DarkRadiant_GIT/install/bin/../lib/darkradiant/plugins/dm_gui.so' ModuleLoader: Loading module '/archive/mircea/Games/Quake/TheDarkMod/DarkRadiant_GIT/install/bin/../lib/darkradiant/plugins/dm_editing.so' ModuleLoader: Loading module '/archive/mircea/Games/Quake/TheDarkMod/DarkRadiant_GIT/install/bin/../lib/darkradiant/plugins/dm_gameconnection.so' ModuleLoader: Loading module '/archive/mircea/Games/Quake/TheDarkMod/DarkRadiant_GIT/install/bin/../lib/darkradiant/plugins/dm_objectives.so' ModuleLoader: Loading module '/archive/mircea/Games/Quake/TheDarkMod/DarkRadiant_GIT/install/bin/../lib/darkradiant/plugins/dm_conversation.so' XMLRegistry: looking for XML files in /archive/mircea/Games/Quake/TheDarkMod/DarkRadiant_GIT/install/bin/../share/darkradiant/ [filters] Loaded 16 filters from registry.

I wrote about it here: https://bugs.thedarkmod.com/view.php?id=5172#c16126 This is broken by my shadows optimization. Basically, this map breaks Doom 3 assumptions by replacing some parts of world geometry in the doorway with caulk. No idea how to fix it in engine (aside from disabling all the optimizations). UPDATE: We had a major performance issue with shadows. Imagine we have a small fully closed house with a light source inside it. The light has huge light radius, which covers a lot of stuff outdoors. Previously, all that stuff did cast shadows, despite everyone agrees it is not necessary. This is no longer the case: the latest dev build won't cast shadows for the entities outdoors. Now imagine that part of the wall of the house is replaced with caulk. The engine still thinks it is a solid wall because it's fully enclosed with opaque surfaces, so it drops shadows of outdoors entities. But outdoor objects might get lit. This map does the same.

@stgatilov, you said, RE string comparisons: I'm unclear if you are referring just to changes you made in 2.11. I think equality testing of two strings (one of which is "text") was working and is a good and expected capability, and should be supported. Including against an empty string. I noticed in your bug activities that you did remove some comparisons with ... == "". I see you also removed string concatenation with "\". No problem, but does that mean multiline macros are no longer a thing? (If so, I'll need to change some examples) BTW, the series so far hasn't really tried to cover the 2.11 changes, since I figured it's a work in progress. But since you did a great deal of GUI work in July, perhaps it's stable enough to try to consider it. I see the logs listed in bugtracker, but don't have access to the private forum threads mentioned there: https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/20526-gui-refactoring/&do=findComment&comment=477179 https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/21535-order-of-evaluation-in-expressions-materials-and-gui/ (Nor do I have SVN currently set up on my newer machine, for changelogs from there.) Any place else I should look?

YES! Maybe add other columns for things in the wiki? https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Fan_Missions_for_The_Dark_Mod

@datiswous, made that correction fm_test.subs --> fm_conversations.subs @stgatilov, about srt naming and file location, would you be OK with the following edit? New/changed stuff in italics: srt command is followed by paths to a sound sample and its .srt file, typically with matching filenames. An .srt file is usually placed either with its sound file or in a "subtitles" folder. The .srt file format is described e.g. [1]. The file must be in engine-native encoding (internationalization is not supported yet anyway) and have no BOM mark. It contains a sequence of text messages to show during the sound sample, each with start and end timestamps within the sample's timeline. It is recommended to use common software to create .srt files for sound samples, instead of writing them manually. This way is more flexible but more complicated, and it is only necessary for long sounds, for instance sound sample of a briefing video. It's a simple enough standard that it can be shown as an short example, demonstrating that subtitle segments can have time gaps between them. And the example can show correct TDM usage, without requiring a trip off-site and picking through features that TDM doesn't support. Specifically, the example shows how to define two lines by direct entry, rather than using unsupported message location tags (X1, Y1, etc.). And skips other unavailable SRT font markups like italics, mentioned in the wikipedia description. The example would also show the TDM-specific path treatment. The example could be inserted before the sentence "It is recommended to use common software...."

I have requested to upstream this patch to the original openal code: https://svn.thedarkmod.com/publicsvn/darkmod_src/trunk/ThirdParty/custom/openal/patches/1.21.1/mxcsr.patch Here: https://github.com/kcat/openal-soft/issues/926 They have proposed commit, but I have not enough knowledge about the patch to comment of it. If someone could go there and give it the "okay" it would be very appreciated.
