Added some temporary lights to FM that is just entering beta - I guess there is not much to show if all lights are off in your mission...   http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/19886-fm-marsh-of-rahena-

I don't think so. There are not enough of them to make an effect. I would assume all the shadowcasting lights would be much more important in their performance hit.

Come the time of peril, did the ground gape, and did the dead rest unquiet 'gainst us. Our bands of iron and hammers of stone prevailed not, and some did doubt the Builder's plan. But the seals held strong, and the few did triumph, and the doubters were lain into the foundations of the new sanctum. -- Collected letters of the Smith-in-Exile, Civitas Approved

Talking about shadow casting lights, I like how Frictional Games optimizes their levels lighting (albeit they are using a pre-pass deferred renderer) they use a principal "hero" light that casts shadows and specular light, then on other non important lights they disable shadows and even specular light, of course they also employ SSAO that makes their non shadow casting objects feel grounded and you don't really miss or even realize, if you aren't intentionally looking for it that shadows are missing.

Looks great!

That's rough_blocks_rustyandblue. It is part of the core assets.

VanishedOne: nice shots, and Springheel is right that telescope is very creative! :) The wooden texture used for the gallery is also novel, and in the second picture, I like how the light of the window brings out the shadowy contrasts of the balustrade. I would suggest adding just a slight variation to the ground height; it is a bit flat.

 

grayman: Clearly, this is an arcade game where you play a fish (the blue rhombus) trying to eat the plankton and the more nutritious purple plankton (green and purple rectangles) while avoiding the big fish that tries to follow and eat you (the white meshy thing) and the kelp that slows you down (the purple upright things and their filaments). For such early and crude graphics, it is surprisingly addictive.

Thank you, that's exactly what I was needing! Will that set the screen output size from then on? Or does that have to be done per usage? Because being that I have to time it well, I may have to just spam that till I get a reasonable result. I almost wish there was a gameplay pause/freeze command that would hault or resume gameplay onscreen. Then I could just stop it where I wanted and use just about anything to screencap with at that point. :P

 

Watch out for that, to avoid visual glitches make sure the resolution you use with that command, is the same aspect as your current game resolution. So if you are running at 1920x1080 just double or triple that res so

or

screenshot 5760 3240

 

If you want to have it do anti aliasing (supersampling) you can also add in number of times to jitter.

 

so type in

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

That's very Harry Potter.

Glasses really make people look smart. =)

I'm a big fan of the way you... diversify the existing AIs :P

Nice, though the bridge looks a bit high, as though the glasses aren't really resting on the nose/cheeks. When I made a monocle I found I couldn't place it as near the AI's face as I'd have liked, otherwise it clipped rather visibly through his flesh during certain animations, so I'm guessing you may have faced (no pun intended) the same constraint.

      I did it! I finally did it! After 48 hours of frustration and confusion, I managed to finally sort out how to attach equipment to NPC:s properly, and write down coherent instructions on how to do it, both in my manual, and in this forum.
      I can finally rest. I can finally eat breakfast.

      Spent most of the day learning and writing about AI navigation. It's stuff I already know, but the magic about writing something down as clearly formulated as possible, is that you then see things that much more clearly. You also find what's unclear to you, and then you figure out exactly how things work. I was hoping to get through it all within just a day, but it looks like this will take tomorrow as well, at this rate. There's also plenty of other nonsense I have to get through as well. Everything's a chore.

      I want to be a fish, but I'm not a fish. My mom wants to be a fish too, and so she's killing herself eating plankton and sh***ng blood, and tells me to stop nagging her about taking her medication. I spent several hours today, just lying in bed, having anxiety over just existing, and not being a fish. You fish, you don't know how lucky you are. You can eat all the plankton you want. I tried eating plankton again yesterday, and I just got sick. I hate being a shark.

      I just gave myself vertigo. A pleasant kind of vertigo, like the world has been lifted off my shoulders. I'll explain:
      Yesterday I saw to my dismay, that I had made my entire map two - two - units too short on every level - that every set01 piece was sticking 2 units into the ceiling. That's basically 402 brushes that needs to be realigned (minus the ground floor brushes).
      I knew enough about selections to do all of that in a very tense five minutes, and it compiled without leaks. (Thank you so much, Dark Radiant devs, for making an editor with such care for precision that you can align hundreds of brushes perfectly at once (which is not something I can say for Valve's Hammer editor, which has some serious issues on that front, which actually made me just quit it in disgust).) However, the result is that the entire level has now been stretched a barely noticable 2 units, and it will take some getting used to psychologically.

      My workflow is basically running from a chain of disasters, eventually trying to seek shelter in former disasters. It's not ideal - it's just my life.
      When I abandoned my first map, it was out of a typical mental breakdown, and so I returned to find a skybox void where the kitchen door should have been (due to a misplaced visportal) and two overlapping brushes Z-fighting on the kitchen floor.
      I've now cleaned up the last bit of mess, by cleanly separating every floor into its own layer. Now I can finally work on each floor in peace.
      ...not that I really needed to. Once you get skilled enough, the orthographic messes, well, I'll let this video speak for itself:
