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?

[Moonbo]

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

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

[Moonbo]

Good catch - something to keep in mind for the future I guess.

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.

[Moonbo]

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

One is A house of locked secrets. Which is the other one?

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

Did you try deleting and redownloading the mission?

[datiswous]

I tried dmapping just now (2.11) and In a quick test can't reproduce the issue in the place of the screenshot. Dmap does give 17 lin files.

I see it there now also, strange, I never noticed it before

 

[AluminumHaste]

It's also there in TDM 2.09. Weird.

[nbohr1more]

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...?

[AluminumHaste]

Cause it's not there in Fen's playthrough

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.

[Cambridge Spy]

Thanks, the dmap issue has definitely been fixed. However, it still needs the in-game subtitles, but I take it that will be fixed when 2.11 is public?

[nbohr1more]

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

Yeah I noticed that also, all the AI are sitting off to the side in the chairs.

[Moonbo]

Hah! Well, if anyone wants to fix this and any other bugs they have my blessing too!
