I thought it might be an idea for the more experienced mappers among us to put some of our onducumented editing tips in a single thread. And can anyone who posts in this thread keep the post format the same, ta.

 

 

How do speed up Dmap/Map, as its like watching paint dry?!

  • If your finding that DMAP is taking ages, you need to DISABLE vsync from the main menu! For example, I'n Sotha's case Dmap went down from 7min with VSYNC On to 1min 20s with VSYNC Off.
  • But don't forget to re-enable VSYNC when playing missions as it reduces choppiness, stutter and tearing.

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to publishing a tutorial on baking normal maps in Blender, since most of the ones we have are inaccessible or years out of date.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

      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.
