Noshadows_lod_x bug

I've found a bug with with the noshadows_lod_x spawnarg.

 

The noshadows_lod_1 spawnarg actually controls LOD 0 shadows, noshadows_lod_2 works at LOD 1, etc.

 

Here is a demo using all the LODs. The shadows are disabled at LOD 3 and 4 in def, but actually they disappear at LOD 2 and 3:

http://hedonism.nm.r...tdm/lodtest.pk4

(To start it, put it in the darkmod folder ant type "map lodtest" in the console).

 

I also found that there is no way to disable shadows at last LOD (independently of the number of LODs), because the corresponding noshadows_lod_x affects the previous (x-1) LOD, and noshadows_lod_x+1 doesn't work if the next LOD (x+1) isn't set.

 

Is it a known bug?

It's news to me, seems to be a simple mistake, that nobody has caught so far.

 

Could you please file a bug report on http://bugs.angua.at/my_view_page.php ? Thanx!

Fixed this with revision #5656, which is basically:

+			   renderEntity.noShadow = (m_LOD->noshadowsLOD & (1 << m_LODLevel)) > 0 ? 1 : 0;

 

Thank you for your report!

You might be able to bribe someone into compiling the latest SVN code for ya.

 

If not, you can compile it yourself via the read-only SVN checkout on the downloads page.

What nbohr1more said, otherwise the fix will only be available in v1.09 - as far as I'm aware, there will be no intermediate release (because a release is a lot of work). v1.09 is quite some way ahead, tho, because AFAIK it will only be released when TDM is fully stand-alone, which is a long way off due to the high number of assets we need to replace.

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to publishing a tutorial on baking normal maps in Blender, since most of the ones we have are inaccessible or years out of date.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