In the decal texture family there's a folder called "symbols" which houses a handful of magical pagan decals. All of these show up fine in Dark Radiant, but only the ones called "Magic Symbol Circle" "Magic Letters Row" shows up in-game. All the others ("pagan_field01", "pagan_moving_symbols01", " "pagan_pulsating_symbols01", "pagan_symbols01") just don't appear. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

But you should walk having internal dignity. Be a wonderful person who can dance pleasantly to the rhythm of the universe.

I had the same issue with those and other decals. I think some of them may need a light source to illuminate them. I don't really remember, but I think I never did get some of them to show, but others I did.

I have a test map with a startrek-like 'teleporter' which illuminates an energy field around the player...basically a solid, transparent cylinder patch with the decals on it which slides down around the player and gets illuminated just before the player is touched by a portal entity. I'm pretty sure I got pagan runes to show on that. I'll look to see what I did.

      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.

      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!
