I know, I know, well, what can I say, I was having trouble getting it to work. First the pointfile was going under it, then around it, then straight through the very middle of it. So I redid the doorway at least four times and still the pointfile would go right through the middle. Then it occurred to me that that is what it SHOULD do if it is working correctly. So I loaded up in TDM and did r_showportals 1 and had a nice red visportal when the door was closed and pleasant green when open.

 

Small steps, but victory is victory.

You are more advanced than me then. :) I'm taking my time trying to master the architectural modeling, specially how to mix brushes and patches to create interesting architectural details. Will probably post about my findings soon. Keep up the good work!

      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!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.
