Ideal installation

Well, I finally got rid of the black boxes for particle emitters, and the lights now actually emit light - and TDM looks like it should look (and all of the missions will now load). That was done by putting the TDM executable into the Doom3 folder so it can find the Doom3 data files. Hallelujah! But the result of my experiments is several copies of the TDM files in various places (I'm on Ubuntu) and I'm not clear which set of data files is actually being used.

 

An appeal, then. Would it not be a good idea, considering that TDM now has its very own engine, to publish the ideal installation? I would have thought that simply copying the relevant Doom3 data files into the folder where TDM resides should do it, but is that right?

 

Imagine - a fully-working TDM all in one place. Nirvana!

 

Can it be done?

I also use Linux

 

I only had to install doom3, create a darkmod folder in it in which to copy the tdm_update.linux and then download the stuff

never had to move any files, and everything is pretty clean ;)

 

but as you have to copy some pk4's from the doom3 cd, you may have moved them in the wrong folder causing your problems!?

      I tried to upscale the TDM logo video. First try:

      briefing_video.mp4 You can test it ingame by making a copy of the core tdm_gui.mtr and place it in your-tdm-root/materials/ , then edit line 249 of that file into the location where you placed the new briefing.mp4 file.
      What I did was I extracted all the image files, then used Upscayl to upscale the images using General photo (Real-Esrgan) upscale setting and then turn it back into a video.
      I might have to crop it a bit, the logo looks smaller on screen (or maybe it's actually better this way?). My video editor turned it into a 16:9 video, which I think overal looks better than 1:1 video of original.

      Finally got round to publishing a tutorial on baking normal maps in Blender, since most of the ones we have are inaccessible or years out of date.

      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 )
