Vertical Contest Mission: Somewhere Above the City by Grayman (Aug 20, 2010)

The latest version of what?

Seeing some minor visual glitches using the latest version

- always lit brick walls in the dark rooms / panels in the clock room

- blinking glass in the clock room

Also, when on the very top the skybox looks like the tower is in the middle of the ocean or in the clouds.

 

I played the whole mission and didn't see these problems.

 

Is the 'blinking glass' simply the lightning going off?

 

And the 'ocean or clouds' effect is because the tower is very high and is above one of the cloud layers.

 

Can I get a screenshot of the 'always lit brick walls'?

 

Thanks.

The blinking glass apparently only happens when r_usefbo 1. Probably a sideeffect of shared color/depth.

Lit material case the whitish wood board:

I set r_usefbo to 1 and see no difference.

 

Here's a screenshot.

 

 

In any case, these aren't mission problems, so you should post them in the appropriate thread where the 2.06 work is being done, so someone can address them.

Replayed the mission now and got a hang at the end of the cinematic debriefing. TDM freezes and stops responding after the priest says "let the builder judge the thief at the day of reckoning". I killed the bad priest and that got mentioned in the debriefing.

Pressing esc to skip the debriefing neither works right at the start of the cinematic nor when it already stopped. TDM just hangs and ALT-Tab does not work.

Windows shows the common not responding dialog when CTRL-ALT-Entfing into task manager and switching back to TDM.

Try:

 

r_cinematic_legacyRoq 1

[Abusimplea 166]

r_cinematic_legacyRoq 1

Used it in the console before taking the artifact and it worked just fine.

Try:

r_cinematic_legacyRoq 1

I assume you created a tracker issue for the reported problem, so it would be great to post the link here

This is hard to reproduce problem, and it is completely unrelated to cinematics (I mean everything named: roq, ffmpeg, video).

While playing through the mission, I also noticed some white objects (issue 4869).

What an awesome mission! I really enjoyed this one. It had strong Thief 1 and 2 vibes to it with the grimy yet spacious interior of the tower. I finished with a mediocre stealth score (got into a fight with the little spideys at the temple) and nabbed all but about 100 of the loot.

Another thing I liked was that there's more going on in the City than just your mission... the dead watch guy in the temple for instance, and the jerk counting his loot at the start of the mission.

I wish I could map this well. Gives me something to aspire to.

Glad you enjoyed it. My first mission, so so long ago!
