Hey Duzenko,

The only thing I can think of is that there is a hidden room under that carpet - possibly something in there is causing the glitch?

-Gelo

Looks like the curtain shadow to me

Can you see the glitch?

Yes, but very barely. Feel free to turn off shadows on the curtain and see what happens :-).

-Gelo

I did just that - turned them off on curtain01_blue and it worked

Looking at the map file

// entity 2105
{
"classname" "func_static"
"name" "func_static_1889"
"model" "models/darkmod/decorative/wall/curtain01right.lwo"
"noclipmodel" "1"
"origin" "-1546 1727 -33"
"rotation" "0 -0.8 0 0.8 0 0 0 0 0.8"
"skin" "curtain_blue"
}

You can't do that - use the rotation matrix to scale stuff

At least disable shadows on entities on which you do that :(

I must say, this is an awesome mission!! ;) Back in 2013 I was not playing Zombie missions at all. Took years to get they're scary shit out of my head. Now I just target with water arrows to torches. Got all 4 holy water left, probably more around somewhere.

So, I got as far as the colored torch fountains. Got the tome, thought that would say something. Is there a

color code sequence in lighting them? & what happens?

Any hints please. Gotten so far without help...

I should have addressed this sooner, but in more recent versions of TDM, there's a common dmap problem with stairs which is present inside the City Watch station. I've attached the screenshot to show what I mean. Also, maybe add in-game subtitles for this mission and A House of Locked Secrets.

I played the crap out of that mission, never saw that.

Did you try deleting and redownloading the mission?

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

I believe dmap bug was introduced in 2.07 or later and was fixed in 2.10. Someone probably dmapped it when updating the mission to fix asset compatibility but caused this artifact...?

This also existed with 2.05 and 2.06. As far as I can remember, it always occurred when stairs were created from brushes.

The workaround was to simply convert everything to Func static. Since 2.07, however, I haven't observed this anymore and don't currently see it in my work with Beta 4 in similar constructions.

I think I mentioned it before, but I'm 100% fine if someone wants to re-dmap and upload the corrected version of the map :-).

I think the version is fine (sort of) if you don't dmap before play, or dmap with 2.10 or later. I'm investigating subtitle software, so if I understand how to do that I could give that a shot. And I see the mission has no EFX yet?

All set! The fixed mission is now in the downloader. :)

Sub-titles need to be manually created. If @Moonbo gives the go-ahead, I suppose a team member could create them for him?

Moonbo already consented to having subtitles created. ;)  It's a go :)

If anyone wants to re-dmap the file and upload it to the official server you have my blessing :-). Same w/ subtitles.

      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!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
