DarkRadiant 1.7.4 pre-release test


Recommended Posts

Here's a pre-release version of DR 1.7.4, which might need some sanity-testing. Any volunteers giving feedback about this build are welcome to download the appropriate package below.

The MD5 Animationviewer should be working now. Apart from that all the changes I made were rather refactoring behind the scenes (QE icon active now after startup, preventing crashes when loading corrupt ASE models).

 

See the commit log at https://github.com/orbweaver/DarkRadiant/commits/master

I made several observations:

 

The following settings in the .game file are ignored:

 

<filesystem>

<shaders>

<basepath>materials_v1</basepath>

<extension>mtr</extension>

</shaders>

 

Regardless of what folder name I use for materials, DR always uses base/materials/ (the reason I use base/materials_v1/ is that idTech 4 uses it, and BFG engine uses base/materials/)

 

"Reload Shaders" in the File menu should probably be "Reload Materials" since shaders are in glprogs/ and are actually called OpenGL shaders, while mtr files are called materials.

 

Particles that use materials containing ARB shaders don't render in the Particle Editor. They show "Shader Not Found" on each particle. Are shaders supported in material stages? If not, maybe it's better to render "OpenGL shader used" instead of "Shader Not Found" on those particles?

 

Other than that old maps load fine, animation viewer works.

 

I haven't tested projected lights (supposedly rendering light material flipped) as I don't have any handy. Can someone please test it and confirm/disprove that issue?

 

EDIT: I can file those as bug reports, if you think I should.

I haven't used DR in quite some time, but with the coming release of 2.0...I'm a bit unsure how to get everything to load now that we don't have Doom3 as the engine path. Do I just use the dark mod folder as my engine path and leave the mod box blank? I've tried that but I'm unable to load anything from the game into a map. Is the problem perhaps that I have to unpack all the pk4's in my 2.0 install before DR can read them? I've only ever used DR with a copy of my SVN build.

Well, I have:

  • Engine path: the folder that contains the darkmod folder
  • Mod: the darkmod folder
  • Mod_base: any fms folder (this is optional)

It works without any problems to me. You do not have to unpack anything.

Is this with a 2.0 install? What do you have selected for 'game', I have doom 3. I thought Dark Mod might have been added to that list with standalone coming up. The way you have it setup is how I tried it at first but it doesn't work for me.

 

I had:

Engine path: f:/darkmod

Mod: darkmod

 

The problem is that the non-standalone setup required doom3 for the engine path and darkmod resided within doom 3. If I have darkmod for engine path and darkmod for mod, then I receive an error saying that darkmod/darkmod does not exist.

 

I suspect that Dark Radiant will require some slight modification to recognize 'darkmod' as the engine path now and load everything without the mod path.

Yup, as I thought. With 2.0, the engine path is the same as the mod path. If you set the engine path to c:/darkmod and the mod path to 'darkmod', DR will look for darkmod/darkmod. With 2.0, we shouldn't need to enter the mod path any longer, the engine path should be enough. I've been trying to modify the .game file to accomplish this but haven't had any luck so far.

 

EDIT:

 

Got it working. I had to remove the 'base' path since we don't store TDM files in a base folder like d3. I'll upload the custom file tomorrow, have to sleep now.

 

This new little guy has been keeping us busy. :)

Engine path: f:

Mod: darkmod

 

should also work.

 

I use 2.0, the game is set to Doom3.

 

And congrats :smile:

Yes, I got it working with the Root drive and then darkmod mod path, but that's somewhat confusing, especially for non-technical folks out there. I'm going to name the .game file Darkmod 2.x so folks will know to use it only with that.

Well, after updating to 2.0 I just removed everything except the darkmod folder from my doom3 directory. This way I never had to change anything. :)

Here is my modified file for a fresh 2.0 install. Requires only the engine path.

 

The forum won't let me attach anything it seems, so I've dropped the file contents in spoiler tags. Just paste this into a text file and name it darkmod.game, then put it in the dark radiant games folder.

Here's a new build (pre2), with a little more code refactoring, plus a new "Floor Selection" feature, which had been requested long ago:

 

Links obsolete, see first post.

x86: http://www.dramtheth...7.4pre2-x86.exe

x64: http://www.dramtheth...7.4pre2-x64.exe

 

That's probably it for the moment being, I'm unlikely to find any more time to work on DR, apart from publishing the actual 1.7.4/1.8.0 release. After 2.0 is out, I might look into incorporating a few changes to better support its new folder structure.

This means that the entities you have currently selected gets floored to the ground. For example you create a stool or a bed, use this and the entity does stand on the ground nicely, without you having to do this manually.

 

As most models don't have their origin at the bottom and the distance between the origin's z-coordinate and those of the bottom plane doesn't neccessarily have to be a factor of an often used grid size, this is extremely useful and will safe the mappers a whole lot of time.

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.
