Hi Guys , As topic title suggests ive been unable to access the forums these past couple of days ! Does anyone have any information on this ? Have you also been unable to access these forums recently ? I have more than one pc so i dont believe the problem to be local to me. Possiabaly my ISP ? Or was the issue server side ?

I dont recall the actual error, but it was just like the forum wasnt there ! I could'nt connect to the server or something like that. It was a standard error like when you have lost your internet connection and cant access a web page. I could access other sites ok though and play MP or PvP games etc, so i wasnt my connection. I could get TheDarkMod website but not the forums.

I was browsing the past two days with no problems at. Perhaps its an ISP or computer issue?

Sounds like your local DNS cache was out of wack and needed flushing, Windows: ipconfig /flushdns

 

For more details or how to flush it in other OSes: https://www.whatsmydns.net/flush-dns.html

 

(Multiple in house systems all having the same issue is likely, if their DNS source is the same. You'd have to have completely separate ISPs, and those providers would need completely separate upstream providers with good refreshed DNS data to compare. It's also an issue of timing, if the DNS there got corrupted, and you flush it before it's refreshed, you gain nothing. It's not until the data is good that you benefit. You also don't have to use your ISP's DNS servers, you can access others, which I do anyway for speed benefit.)

 

If I find a site unexpectedly unavailable, I tend to see if it's available via my phone (completely separate ISP in a totally different region). if it's down, I wait, if it's not, flushdns and voilà.

      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.

      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.
