gui cursor hand

Noticed today that the engine tries to load ui/assets/guicursor_hand.tga (respectively dds/ui/assets/guicursor_hand.dds).

 

If you run TDM in doom-free mode, this image is missing, so I added it now as DDS (a copy of dds/ui/assets/guicursor_arrow.dds) to shut up the warning about the missing file.

 

When you run TDM with tdmlauncher under doom3, it should use the file from the base. However, I never seen the "hand" image cursor appear, so I am not sure why the engine loads it and where it is used. I had thought the cursor changes to this shape whenyou click (or hover?) over an item - but that seems not to be the case.

 

Here is for reference the file from D3:

Has anybody any insight into this?

I think that's used in D3 in-game guis (computer consoles and the like). I don't think we use it anywhere in TDM.

Would this cursor then appear if you look at a book or readable? Could you check this please in game (after updating SVN) to make sure the cursor does not appear now (it should be disabled, but I can't check as TDM no longer runs for me).

DeviceContext.cpp; ln 100

 

If you're gonna remove that stuff - do so carefully and completely.

 

I know where the code uses it, but no idea wether our mod hits that code path at all. And so I have no desire to remove it from the code, as I cannot test it. :)

I don't think I did it, but I do think it was removed. It messed with the frob code a lot, and we debated it briefly and tried to think of anything we would ever want with an ingame 2-D point & click style GUI in our setting, and couldn't think of anything. You can still script things with real moveable objects serving as selection cursors, like a quill pen on a check list, etc. Sucks for whoever's making a mod of our mod in a setting with computers, though. :)

      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      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported.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.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
