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.

      Hello, Since this track is originally from TDM,i think it's better to ask here than TTLG. Do you guys have the full version of this ambient track?

      Bachelor Mapping Challenge!
      The girlfriend will be away to her mum's place for almost a week, which means more mapping time for me! I'm planning a speed build. Hope it will go my way
      I'm starting by downloading 2.11. Don't know if I'm going to use any fancy new stuff. Just want to crack those itching map muscles that has gone dry and dead since almost a year's worth of no-mapping

      The cool part of Canonical's Snap, is that my machine can now ray-trace an entire (simple) scene faster than it takes the web browser to start!

      Fm idea (braindump)
      "Experience the life of a mission builder"
      Esentially there are finnished elements placed somewhere in storage in the game and you have to place them in the correct places, build some walls here and there, add guard routes, give them their correct speech lines, etc. Decorate the places.. all in-game. lots of fun.. 😉
      If you do it right in the end you can play the mission.
      (would be even cooler if a thief-ai could play the mission, making it some kind of tower-defence game)
       
      This first started as an idea for an aquarium builder mission where-in you have to fill an empty aquarium with sand, waterplants, castles water and swimming fish. But above idea is more fun.

      Dear ChatGPT, What are The Builders in the Dark Mod?
       
      The Builders is a popular game mode in the video game community called "Dark Mod," which is a fan-made tribute to the classic "Thief" series of stealth games. In this game mode, players assume the role of builders who construct structures in a dark and ominous environment while trying to avoid detection by patrolling guards.
      The Builders game mode is unique in that it offers players the opportunity to create and design their own levels using the in-game tools and resources provided. Players can experiment with different building materials, construct intricate traps and puzzles, and create their own unique gameplay experiences.
      While The Builders game mode is not an official part of the Dark Mod, it has become one of the most popular and well-loved aspects of the game, thanks to its emphasis on creativity, strategy, and stealth.
       
      You guys did not know that, did you?
