Remind me, why isn't this an official part of the mod already? :) (Or is it?)

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

Moin,   since Dram released the Bow-add-on (angled/straight bow), I thought I'd wrap up my past arrow modifications and tweaks and release them as add-on, too.   This is an unofficial add-on for playe

It's it not an offical part, and I am not in the position to change that ;)

I'd go with Tel'sVEP too. People will recognize it as your baby and now that it is for many things.

 

I too saw 'black light' and thought of what else... a black light, lol. My first thought though was an in editor light to make darker corners...

Name aside most of the things sound pretty cool, though I'm a tad sceptical of dripping water arrows...personally.

Have not tested this with v1.07, but it should work. There is a planned update, tho, tweaking the water arrow trip and some small secret thing, but this will likely not happen before December 15th or so.

 

In the meantime, try it with v1.07 and tell me what works and what not.

 

Regarding the name, it is a great help when you want to google it :P

Blacklight is also an FPS series (second chapter will be free to play and based on last UE3 version) :P

Ah, found a little bug (as always bug hunting is my specialty :D) with the addon installed.

With TDM 1.06 and 1.07 in mission "The Creeps":

All TDM settings to maximum.

 

Z test problem related to the glass shader?

See this, half flame correct and half not:

Yes, both the glass and the flame use the warp shader, and there can be only one - which is a D3 engine limitation. Hopefully this can be fixed somewhere in the future.

Hi Tels,

 

I tested your add-on for the first time and I'm impressed. :) New effects are sweet, especially fire arrow. Apart from the air warp, it casts some lighting on exploding. I guess you forgot to mention that.

 

btw. I found a bug on fire arrow. It doesn't show effects if you hit on ground, w/o your add-on it works fine.

Glad you like it :)

Yeah, this bug is because the arrow explodes about 1 unit below the surface, so some things get hidden (the smoke etc all still play, but below the ground, you can check that with noclip and fly below the floor :). However, I have not been able to find out why this is, it seems to happen only sometimes (depending on the angle you hit the ground with?) and I am also puzzled why the original fire arrow does not do this.

      The FAQ wiki is almost a proper FAQ now. Probably need to spin-off a bunch of the "remedies" for playing older TDM versions into their own article.

      Was checking out old translation packs and decided to fire up TDM 1.07. Rightful Property with sub-20 FPS areas yay! ( same areas run at 180FPS with cranked eye candy on 2.12 )

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!
