Does the 2.0 engine write anything to the regestry thats critical for the game to function?

 

I want to back this thing up so I can archive it for easy re-install later on.

 

My plan is to: Create folder darkmod and run the updater from inside of it. (done) Next I'll download every single mission there is and install those missions.

 

Lastly, - Can I simply just back up this entire darkmod folder to backup my game at this point?

 

If so, I may make an offline installer for the completed game which would place the game under C:/darkmod and place the shortcut icon on the desktop. This will make re-installing quick and easy - if it works.

No registry keys here. You can run this mod from anywhere, even a flash drive. The only requirement is that it reside in a folder named "darkmod" all lower case.

Please visit TDM's IndieDB site and help promote the mod:

(Yeah, shameless promotion... but traffic is traffic folks...)

      Has anyone had any luck with textures from Polyhaven? Their OpenEXR normal maps seem too washed out and give incorrect shading in the engine.

      I tried to upscale the TDM logo video. First try:

      briefing_video.mp4 You can test it ingame by making a copy of the core tdm_gui.mtr and place it in your-tdm-root/materials/ , then edit line 249 of that file into the location where you placed the new briefing.mp4 file.
      What I did was I extracted all the image files, then used Upscayl to upscale the images using General photo (Real-Esrgan) upscale setting and then turn it back into a video.
      I might have to crop it a bit, the logo looks smaller on screen (or maybe it's actually better this way?). My video editor turned it into a 16:9 video, which I think overal looks better than 1:1 video of original.

      Trying to be productive on my down-time before Capcom releases Akuma and my son is constantly on my PC playing Street Fighter...

      Finally got round to publishing a tutorial on baking normal maps in Blender, since most of the ones we have are inaccessible or years out of date.

      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.
